I went for an altered box, and put a little surprise in it LOL
I found this awesome Eddie drawing by Silverwings ltd on Deviant art I asked permission to use it) and coloured it up using my Faber Castell Art Grip pencils.
the box is cardboard and I used Deco Art Gesso as a base and added Media Fluid acrylics in Prussian Blue Hue mixed with Titan Buff, and put a layer of antiquing cream in titanium white. Rubbed some off again and stamped the crackles using the Industrial stampset by Andy Skinner
Varnished the box and added a wash of Deco Art Media fluids in English Red Oxide mixed with a little Burnt Umber and water.
Cut out Eddie and glued him on
The brains are made from clay (Dash) and is painted using Americana acrylics in Terra Coral and a bit black. Finished the brain stamping the veins on in red Archival ink using the AS crackle stamp again (lol) and put a layer of Triple thick gloss glaze on
Well I guess you know by now I was inspored by Iron Maiden, Can I play with Madness
I will enter the following challenges
