Artist's Comments

9x12 cartridge paper
Magazine pieces (11 different magazines)
Acid free glue
Mod Podge Matte (not on in this picture)
17 hours

It is finally up!! :D I have had this done for a long time now. I am just very late at getting it up.

I got this idea from :devThe Jader:'s picture similar to mine. Take a look [link] I asked if I could do my own and she said I could! :)

I really, really like this piece. I did it all in one weekend (Friday night to sometime on Sunday). It took about 17 hours, that includes looking through the 11 magazines, cutting each piece out and gluing them down!

Comments greatly appreciated.

:star: This is not a good picture. I am getting a better one soon.

Oh wow. I was going to compliment you on this anyway, it's very striking, but I didn't realize it was collage. Gorgeous collage. Wonderful that you used the cutouts for their value and hue and got such detail with it.

Thanks! The only part I don't is the part above the eye. I went through every magazine I could find and I didn't have enough to make a nice smooth transition there.

It's still great. Above the eye a dragon's eyelid is scaled, so a less smooth transition looks natural like light glinting off scales at different angles. Serendipity. You got the smooth transition in the eye itself and that contrasts it.

Thanks. I really like collage stuff like this. I am buying a new sketchbook soon. It is all going to be collage. It will be wire bound, so it won't be hard to scan everything. I have so many ideas written down, I could probably fill half of it with them already!

Wire bound makes it easier to scan, I found. It lays flat on the scanner bed unlike hardbound sketchbooks.

Yea, I like them too. I have two that are hardbound though. One sucks for scanning but the other lays really flat. It is from school, I bought it thinking I would need it but I don't. It has 80 pages and it was $6, I think.

Cool that one of them lays really flat! I do like hardbounds, but I have to leave more gutter between the art and the binding to make sure the scanning shadow doesn't get on the art. I've got one big one that is very very cool and should do a few more pieces in it. It'll be very slow to fill.

Unless I use that one for a lot of preliminary sketching and use it up fast! I could always do that more than keep it for omg finished perfect wonderful artworks, then it'd fill and I could do more good ones in my spiralbounds.
