Jus in Bello pictures - Benny

[amberdreams]

I'm trying to sort of out what to get signed at Jus in Bello and Asylum 10 and so I've done a digital portrait of Benny/Ty Olsson.I'm so looking forward to meeting Ty!
And I've heard that Borealis has been picked up and should air late summer! Which is marvellous, because the pilot was excellent.  So I'm a happy bunny today.


Techniques/process - I used a promo photo of Benny as the base, did a digital pencil sketch outline over the photo, then added the paper layer, lost the photo and drew from there. Individual colour layers were added last. I'm starting to try a kind of watercolour style by keeping the brushes very transparent and layering the colours within each layer. It's not very sophisticated but it's working reasonably well. I love these new pencil brushes too!  This is a low res version because I don't want anyone downloading and using this before I've got my own copy signed! :D

That is absolutely STUNNING! I mean.. like WOW stunning!

And Ty, I do love him so. Have followed him on lots of shows and I would LOVE to meet him in person; naturally, Jensen and Jared too, goes without saying.

Well done and have an awesome time! Next weekend, right?

That's fabulous. You're very modest about the work you put into it, it looks sophisticated enough to me!

Have a great time at the con. How many photo ops do you have booked this time? :D

Oh god the photo ops. JIB I have 6 (all the combinations of the Js and Misha) and it's too many! But A10 I went VIP so there are hundreds of photos - why did I do that? I don't even like pics of me... Doh!

No but I like pictures of you! Your poses are always so original and entertaining. I look forward to seeing all of them!
