Hi All,

For the last couple of weeks i've been working on my "recreations" of the Benaroya LP sleeves....

I instantly fell in love with these images as soon as i saw them. Thank you so much to whomever created them originally!

Anyways... here are Parts 2 through 4.

    LOVE those! especially how they're broken up in 3 panels, very nice!
  • civ_eng_girlciv_eng_girl Posts: 2,001
    thanks guys! :D

    in total, there will be 4 panels... each one is one of the LP record sleeves... they're very similar to the CD cover, but cropped slightly.

    i'm a little worried about the image of Stone... it's the most detailed! i hope it works out... i'll start it tonight.

    The start of the Stone Part has been delayed due to Kitchener/London/Hamilton...

    Hopefully it'll get done before I forget how to paint.... ;)

    Just an update on the Stone painting....

    As I feared, I'm having difficulty with this part of the painting....

    His face is shown head-on. I suck at faces.

    I tried... He first turned out looking like an alien... then when I added more features, he looked like clown.

    Then I deleted his head all together!

    I'll keep trying - wish me luck!

    xo

    Hi QuarterToTen! It was great to meet you too! Hope you ladies had good fun at the shows! :)

    Thanks for all the feedback guys!

    I wish I had some orginal works to show to you, but it would appear that i don't have a creative bone in my body!! :)

    I am merely a copier. (Is anyone reminded of Chasing Amy?? "You're a Tracer!") hahahhaa....


    ok, anyways, the 4th and final piece of the puzzle is finally complete.... Stone.

    And the whole band together....

    I guess the next step is getting them on the wall... I'll let you know how the new dining room turns out!

    love civ.

    INCREDIBLE!!!! Great work! You are extremely talented!

    So how do we get our hands on these? You could probably auction them off with a portion going to charity, etc.

    Thanks for sharing.
    I'll scream my lungs out...'til I fill this thread!
