Been struggling so I started a painting of Dennis, Andy's dog

Working Title "SELF PORTRAIT AS DR. MANHATTAN ON MARS (After Dave Gibbons / Watchmen)"

A painting came out of those recent drawings. This is something I had been cooking in my head for quite a while but even so I was really unsure how to finalise the design. I've just glazed the 'sky' area & I might still do so for the "gaseous clouds" when they are dry. Probably gonna glaze the 'land' area as well, to knock the brushwork back a bit.

Really struggling with this one on consistency of mark-making across the entire picture plane...

EDIT: after a LOT of faffing around I gave up, and killed it (painted over.) Will attempt again some time.

Sometimes you have to face the facts..

.. bite the bullet, and do what's gotta be done. Bye bye {Archaengle}:

Pustulence

Red wine drawing*, unfinished and finished, two different cameras:



Felt-tip pen on legal notepad, 152 x 101 mm

* As in drawn over several hours while consuming two bottles of red wine and doing other things too.

It's not really working out very well, is it

In fact, its coming out like the OPPOSITE of what it was meant to come out like.
