Commish, i have no idea how much to charge for it

Ok. Pain in the butt finally over with. This is a shitty photo of it, the light in this building is CRAP, so the photos didnt turn out well at all,im goping to have to remedy this sometime because this isnt a picture i get to hang onto, which is a shame because i really like how it turned out.

Its in 3 bits, theres a big gap between the bottom and middle one because of how the photo turned out, they fit together smoothly in the actual thing. The bottom image, quite obviously, had the most work done to it, and was repainted many many times. The red splodges are melted oil pastel and red crayon- this was the only way i could get it to look gross enough, paint wasnt working, it wasnt thick enough, this turned out cool even if i probably broke some building rooms about playing with he electric hobs and wax. Theres some PVA on there too for a kind of translucent gooey saliva feel. I figured that since its not digital i should abuse the kind of techniques you cant do on a computer, et voila, so if you touch the actual thing its very lumpy and bumpy.

The colour of the original is more muted lavender/purple-grey with gross red section below, but nowhere in this shit building has good enough light for my camera to pick that up. The lamp i used in the end bleached everything because its like a 3000 watt halogen piece of crap- rubbish for this kind of work.

stuck some tissue paper round the shoulders of the dood to get that texture, also to lighten it up a bit because it was too dark.

I'll upload a closeup of the bottom section once i get a better photo of it, because the detail is worth a look.

Mindsong by ~TypoCity is a gory selection for this Halloween season. This reminded me of old-skool Pushead, who redefined the look for skulls... a true Traditional gore fest. Note: this was suggested to me by someone but i lost the note... whoever did it can forward me the original note so i can edit this. sorry! (Featured by `stigmatattoo)

I .. I'm like totally freakin speechless at the amount of awesome that's in this picture. I don't even know what to say, it's so beautiful ... in a terrifying way! I love all the detail, and especially the hair. The music sheets look so awesome, I love how you brought everything together so well.

How much did you end up charging? ;)
:icontypocity:
i never sold it in the end, the girl who requested it stopped coming home to the flat a couple of days after i finished due to family problems and moved out for good a couple of weeks later.
