Thank you, another case of I saw it and thought that's impossible so I proved myself wrong ( see positive). Water falling down it all took about 2 hours to do. I have a few more to finish then it will be Flash Gordon and more Clint. :grin: :8)

Thank you, never seen the film but liked the poster, so at first I thought it was not possible, so I started with a grey underwash and it looked aweful it was only at the end it came around to look OK. :grin: :8)

 brainfree - 31/10/08, 17:41 reply
Thank you, starting out I was going to do it in all grey or black, but I soon came around to blue as it sets a cold look and achieves an atmosphere. I had to use an incredible amount of white to turn the water, watery. Hmm I don't know if that makes sense. :grin: :8) :oO: :/ :grin: :)

 Manon.V - 02/11/08, 16:15 reply
Well it worked, it looks...watery :grin:

 brainfree - 02/11/08, 19:08 reply
I like what I call running paint, I put paint on and let it run down the face, moving the paper right or left to follow the contour. I start always with a grey or whatever the background colour is, then repeat with the shine colour, in this case white and off white. Practice, Practice is what it's about. :grin: :8)

 Manon.V - 09/11/08, 13:32 reply
great technique!, yes, practice!

Thank you the eys took about a third of the painting time about four layers. If they a scary then it worked as I have not seen the film yet. I originally was going to put the fingers on the eye but it did not work. :grin: :8)

 BeautifulDreamer79 - 02/11/08, 04:19 reply
Wow! I saw this yesterday,and have been wanting to tell you how haunting it is! Splendid! Will you paint Edward Scissorhands and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys someday?

 BeautifulDreamer79 - 02/11/08, 04:20 reply
...and in the words of JP...Brrrrrrr!!! :grin: :D :clap: :hi: :thumbup: :8)

 brainfree - 02/11/08, 10:31 reply
Thank you, of course it's a pastiche of the Film Poster it was very difficult to do. Yes I will paint both Edward S and Brian Wilson Funny enough I have not painted either before. It will take about 5 days manly for me to clear the Flash Gordon series and a few other requests but I will start looking for something different about them. As that is my main aim. I love a challenge and will relish this one. :grin: :thumbup: :8) :clap: :hi:

 BeautifulDreamer79 - 02/11/08, 16:28 reply
Great,I am looking forward to seeing them! Thanks! :whip: :clap: :thumbup:

Thank you,I've started a little late with my few efforts for Halloween, but I have done Jig saw, Pin head and Micheal Myers. As yet not completed but close. I love a bit of a shocker, now and then, they make such wonderful drama. :grin: :8) 8o| 8o| 8o| :oO:

THIS IS UNDESCRIBABLE. One of my favorites!

 brainfree - 16/11/08, 10:14 reply
Thank you, I like to be original in my work, I will attempt anything and love to do the impossible, does that sounds bigheaded. I know it does but I'm not boasting, just trying to let you see that I'm driven! to my work, I have a thing for water it's difficult to master Well. This started out going to be grey and a light grey black called Payne's grey, but I change over thank god half way through to blues, but it was a lesson as the greys were a great under wash (Coat). I feel it's not enough to copy a poster, you have to make it your own. A long answer sorry. :8)
