shingaSo I've been working on a piece I hope to show at the A-kon art show at the end of this month/beginning of June. It was something I cooked up as an idea while half-asleep after rewatching The Doctor's Wife for the fifth time.
I'm kind of glad I took progress photos.
Started with a watercolor background.
Then I got black construction paper and cut out the sillhouette for the TARDIS.
Not gluing anything down yet.
Then I started on the Doctor and his "wife", this took days to get down because Matt Smith's face is infuriating. It still didn't turn out QUITE as well as I hoped but it gets the point across well enough and so far people seemed to like it.
Then, COLOR! With several tabs open for reference.
Finished fairly quickly (well, I say quickly... still a few hours but it passed by fast enough for me)
I sat and admired my handiwork for a few minutes... before taking a pair of scissors to it.
Now here we are... all put together in more-or-less the fashion it will be glued on together. All layered and shiny. There's still a bit of touch-up to do before I buy glue (something I didn't think of until today, whoops) and finish it and buy a cheap frame to hang it up for display/sale.
If this doesn't sell at A-kon I'll probably put it up online and auction it off or something. We'll see how it all goes.
In any case, I'm pleased. Sore as hell, but pleased. :)
