Phantom Progress

Here's a totally not exciting pic of some airbrush work on the face and hands.



And some oils...



Couldn't tell if I liked it yet or not (I thought it actually looked cool at this point, but I still couldn't tell if I thought he was too dark or too light, so I blocked in some of the hair and tried more of a neutral background.  But I think gray would have worked better.  Will have to hit the fabric store this weekend.  Or pull out one of my gray t-shirts. 



There are some greens and blues in there that are getting washed out.  I'll probably use some pastels around the eyes, they still need darkened quite a bit and that will help with his over-all pasty sicklyness. 

This reminds me, of what I wanted to post before I went to Wonderfest, and that was for anyone attending that chipped in on the fundraiser to make sure to introduce yourself and say hi.  Many did, and it was great to talk with them.  Just can't thank everyone enough.  I'm so terrible with names, so as a rule people either need to have a name-tag or tell me who they are.  With all the handles online and changing from board to board, I have a hard time keeping it all straight.  I'll blame the paint fumes.  Except I paint with acrylics and other water solubles...

    Thanks so much for posting the progress shots of the Phantom and including a bit of commentary. I just read your "Kiss The Cook" article last night in AFM, so I feel like I'm reading a mini article here!
