So, I painted some stuff. Excuse the poor quality, since I took the pictures with the worst camera phone ever due to a broken scanner.

I did these with acrylics on canvas. On the first one, I tried to water down the paint just a *little* so it would transition to the next color better, but that didn't really work. On the second, I used a sponge brush for the color instead of the normal brush.

Um. I think they look better in person, but try to critique on what you have. =]

Patrick Stump Original



Gerard Way Original



I was going for a kind of abstract, cartoon-ish look. So, what do you think?

the first one's face looks weird, I mean it doesnt look like a person to me.. It looks like a big bug playing the guitar. In this one, it looks like some sort of jacket is infront of the guitar? I dont know, it kind of looks weird there. Its like a straight line infront of it. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Second one is okay but I think the colors are btter in the first one.
crueldade
Uh. It's a mic stand. O_o

I added the original photos so you can tell that it is not, in fact, "a big bug playing the guitar" as you put it.

HAHA

okay that makes more sense.

the head still looks weird to me though. _unsure.gif

I really love the second one, and the idea of what you're doing. I think it'd be better if you just colored water-color paper with multiple colors and use ink to go over it. That way, you can have more details show up.
crueldade
Yeah, that's what I was going to do, but I didn't have watercolor paper, watercolors, or ink. xD

Also, I'm just a really lazy person, so I messed up a lot on Patrick and just didn't bother to fix it.
Michelle
Haha cheap water colors and thin and thick Crayola markers should do the trick ;)

I'm not sure, but you can probably buy water color paper by the sheet. Or one of those sketchbooks that are good for all mediums.
crueldade
Yeah I bought some watercolors the other day. I kind of love them xD

I really really like the Stumpy one.
They're both good, but the Gerard Way one doesn't really look like him very much. I definitely think the Patrick Stump one is better.

Very creative _smile.gif

I like the second one.

Very neat. The shapes seem a little funny in some parts, but I love what you did with the colours. Great work. happy.gif
hi-res
The second one is instance. Great job with both.

Firstly I love the colors, and the first one looks great.

The Gerard Way one is pretty cool, but it seems a bit.. stiff? And unnatural? Other than that though, they're pretty good
