This work was just finished today, after a brief hiatus. I do say it loses a lot of detail in the process of shrinking and taking a photo of it is a pain, with the glares that it gives off. I should get myself a scanner bigger than A4… You can see the details in my post here.

Done in acrylic ink above some Chinese ink and ink pens.

It took a while, but I think it’s nice for a first effort. I gained a new respect for comic artists!

Plenty of great ideas – a Lady GaGa-inspired toy, a couple of bolt-encrusted toys, a woolly warrior and an airbrushed Filipino tribesman – and that’s just the 5 of them!

Mine was a challenge to paint at first – gouache flaked off the minute it dried and pulling the arms off was not something I’d ever try again. After a coat of black primer, it was ready to be taken over by acrylics.

Like I predicted, a lot of people would be confusing the design with the aboriginal styles of Australia. Can’t blame them, it does look really close.

A singer, a DJ and lots of people wearing fun, club clothes. It may have been due to the other presentation happening in a gallery just next to us, but the crowd aroundour MEGAs never reduced!

He was done in two nights, waterproof ink pens 0.3 and 0.6, with an occasional 0.2 in the mix. The small size hopelessly butchers all of the detail I put into those wings, so I’ll come up with another post with some of that soon.

Some detail just to be certain. I hate the way this size ruins all the detail.

And some feathers too.

It is the relationship of night and day, Night calling Day to sleep, as Day loses its size and strength with the passing of the hours, Night gaining strength, size and power.
