Another drippy addition to the collection! Just finished this Mimikyu skeleton - even ghost types can't escape the melt! Love how the purple drips turned out against that cyan background

Timelapse time!
I remember being very frustrated with the face, enough that I never realized how much more chonk my tiger's body needed to be.

This project is now complete.
Mostly I’m focused on getting the proportions, layout, pose/attitude, final design figured out. I still have work to do on the lighting, final color in oil. it’s hard to color match & soften edges in acrylics the way it dries so fast. I’d like to try golden open if I ever have spare $$$ get 4 or 5 of my main colors I use.
FYI this painting is using Payne’s grey, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, White, & a tiny bit of Magenta.
That’s it. I love a limited palette.

I had used metallic gold paint at first which looked good, then applied gold leaf to make the emergency blanket she is wearing, but it was hard to apply well and it didn’t seem to stick well enough, so didn’t look good, and I painted over in non metallic ochre oil paint. I might try to add metallic gold oil paint later.
I did a full under painting in acrylic.
Process pics of this piece.
Rough sketch to basic block in. Detail added in previous post (above in thread) which may be final, though I may still adjust a couple of things.

Finding those tiny subtle shifts in temperature & tone in skin, and placing and shaping them to create the face so that it’s interesting and feels lively is so satisfying to me.

My #scrollBook advances ... I love the effects of the variegated embroidery thread. I love the stories and thoughts stitched into the fabric. And working on it is a perfect thought cleanser. A textile #Artjournal ... @embroidery @textilearts @fibrearts @fiberarts
