I'm done! I'm done!


Well, here's an improved set of colors for this piece...


... and let's try a little blur here and there to beef up the depth. Cheesy, huh? Just have to see how it prints.

  2. Thank you, gentlemen.

    Glendon, I'm glad the blur worked for you -- since my eyes started getting really wonky I've found myself using a lot more blurring and soft focus. Hey, it worked for Matisse.

    I was intending for this piece to be a salute to the old brocade prints of people like Yoshitoshi, Hiroshige, and Hokusai, but in the end the piece wound up taking me in another direction. I was even thinking of scanning in an old print and using it as a source for sampled colors. Maybe next time.

    I did make a print of the blurred version last night -- sorry, Traumador, it's a fifteen by twenty inch print on glossy photostock.

    But I have been thinking about having some shirts made up. The big Tyrannosaur head on this piece is something I'm thinking about using for that. I'm also considering the eyeball-in-the-hand image...

    Honestly, the main reason I want to do some shirts...

    Hey!

    You gave me an idea for a new post!
