I have been cooking this idea of doing a Judas goat for a number of months. The one I am working on now is just the beginning of this idea which has so many possibilities. The Judas goat as you might imagine is a betrayer. He is trained to lead the lambs to the slaughter house. I wonder if he feels anything.

preliminary sketch

background blocked in more work on that at the end

finished background until the end which I will work on it some more

doing the goats first, I always start with the eyes

more detail now it's time to work on the other items then I will go back finish details on the animals and heart and finish up the background. Looks like another long day on this, so happy the weather is crappy I can work guilt free. What a luxury to be working 8 hours, pretty much nonstop!!
