Angel Of Death Dexter Season 6 Episode 5

Here is a painting I was commissioned to do for season 6 of the Showtime series Dexter.
I did six more paintings and as they are revealed on the show, Ill post them here.

The first image here, which is the one used in the program  has blood splatters on the wings added by me digitally in photoshop.
The art department used my digital photo of the painting I sent to them . It was then reproduced at seven feet on canvas by a large ink jet printer for placement in the set.

The second image is my painting in oil as it exists today. I also have uploaded a few sketches i showed to the production designer , preliminary drawings and color sketches as well as under paintings. I used the fantastic Sara Streeter as a model for this picture.

Here are two stages of my under painting. I had shot reference of Sara nude as well as clothed in a sun dress as requested. Then the producers changed their minds after I got started and wanted the model in a wrap around cloth or toga like clothing. I shot my wife's cousin in this kind of getup for the clothing reference and started with sara nude so I could get the pose correct first. I prefer the nude the best.
