Knowing Is Half The Battle

Exactly two weeks since my last post and I am determined not to let this blog die. A lame excuse, but I have been having some issues uploading images on my up-and-down internet connection.


Here's some tonal underpaintings for one of my projects (my first foray into acrylics since the unfortunate mess that was foundation painting). I deviated from my initial proposal somewhat and instead decided to focus on the stilted posture and plasticised expressions of these six old G.I. Joe action figures. They're both endearing and alien to me; comforting and lonely. The backgrounds definitely need to be flattened a bit more but so far I am liking where it's headed.

I'll keep you posted -- promise!
