ok so i know what you made it out of, but what i really want to know is: what did you put it on? what kind of surface is your portrait drawn/painted onto?

This is a wonderful representation of your self! The light you captured and the emotion in your own face. It seems vulnerable and powerful at the same time! Very successful piece! I gotta it!

you're probably sick of hearing this but this was amazingly well done. When I first looked at it, I seriously thought it was a photograph of a doll (despite the category it was placed in) and then I went and looked at the materials you used so a thousand points to you for creativity : ) ....very nice job
cheers

that's some neat stuff!
i used some nailpolish in a drawing a long time ago
and some tippex but that's about it for experimenting
u made a neat compo with all those different materials wich is really surprising because i think it takes quite some handyness to use them well so they don't become smudgy or sticky...
so good job!

Thank you! Yeah, it was hard.. but I think it was worth the fun. I wanted to use nailpolish too but I didn't have hands in the piece XD

Wow! This is great! Of all the stuff submitted to my forum (the "unique" one) this is among my favorites. The image is stunning and the use of materials definitely qualifies (if not OVERqualifies) it as unique. Thank you VERY much for sharing!

What a great piece. I like how it seems to be not quite in focus. Wow, you sure meant it when you said mixed media. A very strong image.

You made it with what????!?! How'd you use all that stuff to do it. You've got me all intrigued now. The color and everything is done perfectly, I love it! Don't understand the materials though, must explain!!

Overachiever22 In reply to daevilmagiciano [2005-12-01 04:43:10 +0000 UTC]
lol, thanks! Well, for the face, I first did a coat of vanilla extract and liquid coffee.. then I used woodstain to get the more browny areas, then charcoal to get the black shaded areas and provide some line. I put some white clown face paint also to highlight some areas on the skin. I also put my blush, lip balm, and eyeshadow on the face to provide the makeup color. for the hair, I used black acrylic and for the highlight I put the white face make up on again. for the background, I put black arcylic mixed with ground coffee to make for a thick layer of darkness, then added in blue hair dye (looks more blue in real life). Then, I sprayed the background with blue sparkle body splash that smells like blueberries. I think that covers it maybe ?

That is wicked cool! So did you just put each thing on by itself or mix it with something? Sorry you've got me all intrigued.

Overachiever22 In reply to daevilmagiciano [2005-12-01 04:48:36 +0000 UTC]
haha it's ok! Yes, each thing went on straight, by itself. The only mixing I did was using my finger to blend (to the best of my abilities) the charcoal with the wood stain. And of course, the blue hair dye mixed well with the black acrylic. But yeah, everything was put on individually.

That is one crazy list of materials! Great though, because it makes it a little more personalized too!
There's an excellent attention to tonal changes though, and I really like that slight change in the light behind the face.
