Artist's Comments
Its gonna be a while before I can finish this. I've got the charity commissions to do, and frankly I'm getting sick of looking at it and lost all objectivity.
Maybe 2 weeks til I go back to it? It's about 50% done. Just thought I'd let you all see the progress of it before I put it away for the time being. How do I color? Sometimes I apply color directly. In this case, I do a full greyscale and set "preserve transparency". Then I go to the Channels tab, click the dotted circle, which selects all the white parts. I go back to the layer and hit "backspace" to delete all the "white". That leaves me with just the tones. I paint one layer under that. And then a bunch of layers on top of both. It sounds more complicated than it is. I think this method makes it look more like watercolor or gouache, which is why I like it. The rectangle swatch is base colors. I reserve some spots for accent colors. That's pretty much it. Not exactly reinventing the wheel. |

I admire your skill. Not everyone has the right sense of color to "paint" that well. For most people, red is just red, regardless of the lighting. But for artists like you, they see grays and blues and yellows, not just red.

Be happy, life is but once!
This is gorgeous so far. I especially like the light reflecting on everyone's armor, and everyone's varying expressions. I'm looking forward to seeing the final piece whenever you get around to finishing it!

And I just spotted another archeological artefact: Diana´s torc. It´s inspired by torcs of the Early La Tène period, like this one from Snettisham: [link]

I´m not sure if these belong to the "real" Celtic culture or not. The one with the "belly" (
