Gears of War Lt Carmine

This was for a Fan of "Gears of War" that I work with. He is a character from the game "Gears of War" called Anthony Carmine. I got a chance to use my new turquoise paint with a thick lacquer over the top for the armour. He supplied me with a few images of him and his armour weapons etc and I was quite happy with the turnout.

Blue Dragonfly

This one was a present that someone wanted for their cousin who loved Dragonfly's and her favourite colour was blue hence "The Blue Dragonfly".
I did a lot of experimenting for the wings as I really wanted some see through wings with the veins showing. I ended up with some thick plastic and some thick black 3d paint and of cause a nice stick.

Drinking Leprechaun

Another Job this time some one wanted a Leprechaun. He had a picture of quite an aggressive one drinking a large pint of Guinness. Used some special dyed Cotton for hair this time. I would have put him in a nice big dark green coat but the picture had him in a vest with his sleeves rolled up ready for a drink and a biff.

Buddah Wall Art

I had a hankering to do some more wall art and got a friend to describe the area she wanted to put the art and also what she was into. Mostly it left me with free range. As it was for outside I can up with this. The Buddha was painted with gold paint and then again with an ageing solution to darken the gold and to try to blend it in as much to the black background I made. I really enjoyed making this one.

Fashion

This one was some thing new for my wife's office , She is in the fashion industry and showed me a few ideas off the Internet and this was my first attempt at canvas painting. I really enjoyed doing this one and it gave me a taste of a different style of art. I'm keen the have another go this time maybe some sort of abstract buddah or face.

What do you think.

Neferatiti

I saw a bust of Neferatiti in the Cairo Museum in obsidian and have always wanted to do one like it as a piece for hanging on the wall

"Lady in the Frame"

This is my new piece. Got the idea from an image on the net. Really liked it. I'd like to make a few more pieces that can be hung on the wall. Got some great ideas for more like this one.
