This banner has presented a challenge to me. My seamstress sewed it a bit differently, and as such as the paint dries it has been wrinkling the fabric, kind of warping it. It seems there is some slack in the surface and when the paint pulls on the slack it fights against the seams. It is not a major issue, except that it is making it hard for me to make straight lines! Every piece of art is difference, and sometimes we have to go with what is presented to us. This one does not want to have straight lines, so, I am going to embrace that. :)
On this one I have done most of the painting of the chalice. I have to do final highlights to bring out the details. On the white I have started doing some grey shading and the scrolling is mostly complete. I am still undecided on the wings, whether I am going to make them highlighted black or shaded white. I will do the black first and see how they come out. I kinda like the black wing shapes as is now. I think some simple highlights to define the wings will really work.
The halo at the top will get some gold metallic treatment and on the bottom picture I actually painted the circle at the bottom right grey in prep for the yellow hammer to be painted on top. I should be done with this by next Friday. Holidays present a tough obstacle to getting jobs done. Plus SWTOR is out. :)
I have a commission for seven more of these coming up soon! It's gona be a busy 2012 for me!
If you would like a banner for yourself or your club, let me know!
