The Probeersel Painting

This project is for the Comic Website Probeersel.com. It is to become a sign for their stand at the 2005 ClickBurg Webcomics Festival, the 1st of May later this week. Here's the final result.

A total of 18 working hours and alot of paint went into it. The final result measures 10 by 2.5 feet devided over 4 triplex panels of 2.5x2.5 feet each for good mobility. It's my first try on fresh, unmodified wood and once again, valuable lessons were learned. Among which the thing that the cans of primer contained primer for only 9 square feet instead of the 25 square feet they should've contained. The same day I found that out I sent the producers an email, to which they haven't responded yet.

Furthermore I tried doing a four-color gradient in the tailflame of the 'skullcomet'. The colors used are white, silver, steelblue (a lightish kind of metallic blue) and dark blue.

It was sold to the owner of Probeersel.com, René van Densen.

The Anthrax Painting

Yet another one with the logo of the American Thrashmetalband Anthrax.

The drawing of it was challenging, the cutting was even harder to do and took alot more time, the painting was also challenging with the planned colortransition but I'm still pleased with the endresult.

So, without any further adue, let me present to you: The Anthrax painting.

The final result measures 8 feet in height, 2 feet in width and took 23 working hours to complete. I had to use this picture to do the skull from and because of its small size, I had to enhance it. The endresult was around 30 times as large as the enlarged picture I did it from.

It's the first one to actually have more than two colors or to have a colortransition. Personally I'm not that happy with the silver-black colortransition in the Anthrax logo, so that's something that needs a little more practicing.
