Off the track

I’ve had this thing sitting on my work table for days and days. I’ve moved it aside, moved it back, stared at it, stared some more. Procrastinating really. Finally, I couldn’t leave it laying around any longer — the boy was pressuring me – so I brought out the paints and decided to wing it.

I should have really stretched it out on a frame before starting to paint. As soon as the brush hit it, the moisture made everything pucker, but I was already commited so had to continue till the end. Turned out pretty well considering I can’t draw anything the way it looks in reality to save my life. The only thing I had to go by was a screen capture from a video game, so even what I was working from wasn’t the greatest. I’m quite happy with it … except for the puckering. I think I’m mostly happy that it’s done.

By the way … it’s a crest on the fabric for the back of a costume cape for a video game character. Talk about off the track. Now back to regularly scheduled programming.
