Wash mark 2

[amberdreams]

I wasn't sure I could edit the first pic well enough so I started afresh. I think this one is a little more successful. I did have two other goes actually, but the second one went really badly awry in terms of a likeness so that's definitely NOT going anywhere! So this is the one I think I'll get signed.

It's not the final version, I've made his head a bit wider at the back in the shadows, and darkened the background round his face to make it stand out a bit more. I thought I'd try using some pre-printed craft card so I had a ready made background. This is approx 30cm square.

I think it's worked reasonably well. It was quite hard to see what I was doing to start with, but once I got some the layers of pastels down it got easier. It's still a bit long in the face for Wash but I'm not too ashamed of it! LOL

By the way - as I'm getting this one signed, did you want the other one? I can try doing you a new one of course, I'm starting to get a feel for his features, but if you wanted the original piece you're welcome to have it.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

The original would be perfect - email me about price honey :) ♥

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

No, no, you can have it. I just need to work out how best to get it to you. And I still have your birthday present LOL

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! I have no clue on that score hun, how's about I send you the postage for it all?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Let me send it first then you can talk about money if you want. You can always buy me a drink at our next meet up if it makes you feel better.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Okay, if that's alright with you *hugs* But I'd like to pay the postage at least ♥

Looking good - he's acctually a lot more recognisable here than he was in your earlier picture.
I only know Alan Tudyk from 'A Knight's Tale' and he was brilliant in that. :D

It's really about time you watched Firefly, isn't it!! You can still get the box set cheap... I bet Barry would enjoy it too.

This is so lovely, the colours and the leaves are perfect, as is his expression - he almost looks like Peter Pan grown up!
