Glad to hear everything is okay at home David! and catching up on all the awesomeness in your thread as well!
Incredible!!!
That Joker is top notch! (not that I should be surprised!) Do hand paint your eyes or are those the Archer transfers?
they're a combination of paint, watercolor pencil and transfers but i don't use archers, i make my own
Very nice. I've used the water slides on a few projects with varying degrees of success, but your eye work always comes out so clean.they're a combination of paint, watercolor pencil and transfers but i don't use archers, i make my own
That's cheating! Ha ha just joking man but I've never heard of archer eye transfers? How do you make your own?
they are so-so decals. you really have to make your own, augment and hand massage the results to get decent results imo - lots of trial & error involved. tons of people use them but there's some tricks to making them look even remotely natural. there's plenty of examples of both approaches all over the place. i'm not a fan of paint when something must be tight and precise at macro levels where washes and dry brushing tend to becomes more obvious & symmetry is a must. i'm also not a fan of brushstrokes or telltale signs in my work, so i seek out ways to try to circumvent - it's ongoing. i'm always testing new methods in an effort to improve my results. my goal is to belie the fact the object was painted when the customer holds it in-hand, so i enjoy tinkering to that end
honestly, i only started painting in late 2012 so i'm not the best or most seasoned painter here - it's a fun hobby that i enjoy doing and have found i can make some decent money customizing while in-between design & illustration jobs
as long as i can make a living being creative, i'm pretty okay with that.
