Masked Intentions

One of my favorites from the bunch of five watercolor portraits I took!  I struggled with the black fur a bit, over saturating the paper and then having to find ways to make it work.  I ended up relying more on the ink than the watercolor to get the dark fur I wanted.  I REALLY enjoyed designing this mask!  The character has heat powers, so i wanted to play off a phoenix theme, and get some really saturated red/oranges in there.
