The Reaper.....(again)

Digi used : the Reaper by Rick St.dennis
Deco Art Products used: Deco Art Media Shimmer Misters inTurquoise and Violet, Deco Art Americana acrylic paint in Snow White and Lamp Black.
Americana Decou Page Napkin

For Rick St.dennis Craft Team we got an assignement , saying make a project that exemplifies you as a crafter,,,,'''

I did not have to think about that very long (I did google exemplifies first lol) ,,, I just had to use my old frined the Reaper, I just love that image soooo much. It has everything I like in a digi. It;s scary , and still it makes you want to color him and get make him look like he is moving and his cloak is moving in the wind. Ofcourse Rick St.dennis did the most work to get that working in drawing all those great folds and add a bit of the shades in allready .

The challenge was using my new Twinmarkers, they are a cheap brand alcohol marker and I only have a few colors so in the end I had to use some pencil too to get a better effect.

So here it is my art journal page

 The reaper digi can be found here

First I used both misters to get the base color on the background, it has great shimmer but you can't see it on the scan, in the picture you can see the colors much better but the shimmer is hard to get in a photo. Next I used a stencil and black paint.
The imagae was cut out and glued to the background using Decou Page napkin, that  is a product specially made for glueind thin paper and it works great, no wrinkles and it makes the image become one with the background, Also it has no horrible glue smell so that is a big plus :-)

The Reaper  is also in a coloringbook here
and on a T shirt here

I will enter the folowing challenge

31 days of halloween day 9

Welcome to day 9 of the 31 days of Halloween organized by Smeared and Smudged,
blogroll is in the side bar .
I am  also a Cryptkeeper in the Halloween countdown 2013, for the complete list of 192 Cryptkeepers joining the countdown to Halloween, see link here


yay still there,  here is my project

 

the card is made out of an cardboard box, used the Tim Holz Vintage Cabinet Card Die to cut 2 cards, and cut one pies in half.

 

Used Deco Art Gesso on the card before adding the modeling paste skull

 

then painted  with Americana Lamp Black acrylic paint, the skull was painted using glow in the dark paint. Then added a layer of Glamour Dust glitter paint black Ice around the skull

 

the inside has some stamping on it, I used white card and Archival Jet black ink.

 

The stamps are all from de Stempelwinkel

the sky and rest of the background is made using distress ink and make up sponge

 

and this is what the skull looks like in the dark, cool huh?

I will enter this in the following challenge

Next is an AJ Page using a Rick St. Dennis image called the Reaper

you can find the Reaper on Zibber here or on etsy here

 

here is how I made it,

 

first colour the digi Reaper, I used 3 colours green (Caran d'ache luminace, Light Malachite green, Beryl green and Malachite green, also added some Purplish red)

 

first I use the Light Malachite green, colouring very light

 

make the shadows and some pieces of the cloak darker

 

 used the beryl green on the darker pieces of the cloak

 

added the malchite green on the shades

and blend using paper stumpa and odourless white spirit

The pieces of the Reaper and the cloak that are closer to you should be lighter than the pieces that are furter away. Also look where the light comes from for the lighter parts, Rick allready did the shadows for you so you can see where the light comes from.

finishing touches,

look careful and make some pieces darker and lighter, create depth doing so.

 

I added some Purplish Red just the blue/green was a bit dull

 

 coloured the rest of the image

 

cut the reaper out

 

then the backgound (pic's are taken using a daylight lamp, the colouring step by step pics are from I pod and these are real camera, that's why there is a difference in the colours).

 

the background was a gelli plate print, just a simple one using yellow orange and red Americana Acrylic paints, brayering it on the Gelli plate mixes the colours and I liked the way it looked, so didn't add anything.

 

glue the reaper to the page

 

trace the reaper using a black pencil, it makes the reaper stand out more

find a quote you like on the internet and search a font you like. Write it on a piece of paper, just try to copy the font as good as you can, while writing you will start to change it to "your handwriting', it sorta happens. Writing the tekst also helps to get it right on the page whithout spelling errors

use a ruler and a pencil to draw lines, these a guide lines for the size of the letters, you want them all to be the same size (more or less LOL)

of course you can write the tekst in pencil first, but I never do, just start writing

I used a paint marker with a small nib, that works best on arcylic paint

I never measure where to put the tekst make it fit, I just write the text and make it look like the font I chose

when the text is on the page you can erase the pencil guidelines, use a kneadable eraser that works best.

and the finished piece, sorry for the glare, that happens when you use daylight lamp

 

here the products used

 

 

 

hope this was a bit helpful

 

see you for day 10
