Art for Brille!

Title:Just the Thing
Gift for: [livejournal.com profile] brille
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] amkave
Rating: G
Fandom: Bandom - MCR
Warnings: None
Artist's Notes:brille requested so many interesting things it was difficult to choose. I went with MCR just because I could work from lots of source material. The original is about 28x23inches and it is acrylic on treated fabric (after the artist reveal, if you want the original painting, let me know, I'll mail it to you). Please note - because of the size of the original I don't have the capability of scanning an image that big, and so had to settle for a photograph. Which is less than ideal, and for that I am sorry.
Summary: You can't have part without the whole.

This is so lovely and especially because this really goes to show just how much is added to the interest of a painting when it's done on canvas - the light off the camera from the canvas only adds, I think, to the band-star epicness of this. I love how the boys look so happy with each other, and I particularly love how you did white-on-black for the concert scene. That does not look easy to do, and you did it wonderfully!

Thank you! The white on black was actually easier than I thought it would be - it is not something I've done in precisely this way before, but when I was in school I used to love to use scratchboard - Black scratchboard. I just applied some of the same principles here - although I think I'd like to try to get a little more detail next time.
