New Mixed Media Piece "Acrylic Spark" For Sale

I made this little test piece today in between emails and coffee to try out a concept I had in mind. What it ended up being was a really mixed media piece that was just plain fun to do! Here we have what started out as a pure Sharpie Art piece, then added to with acrylic washes, opaques, and finally enamel. A little bit of airbrushing and localized 'fling' to finish it up. My basic idea was a spark plug with an acrylic fling style spark- then I decided to embellish a little. What's really funny is the cross between Animation Cell style shading, and Airbrushed shading- means the rule book got thrown out the window on this one  :)

NEW Sharpie Art "Acrylic Invasion!" Finished & For Sale

Well now... this is fun to look at! I made this piece as a re-visit to the idea of the "Sharpie Vs Acrylic Battle"- only in this particular version the acrylic is the invading force. I got to use a handful of methods I experimented with last week and put them altogether to make this one- even did a little bit of airbrushing to get some drop shadows in there to help add some life to it. I'm still trying out brands of acrylic to test color quality, opacity, and dry gloss level, but I think I've found a couple that prove to be quite vibrant. This was a lot of fun and I didn't make too big of a mess. I really love the way the colors came out and how the different application techniques interact with the sharpie art.
