My only mod for Titian (so far) is his tattoo. I was really excited about doing this! Here is my crappy semi-tutorial! Overall, it took about ten hours, including setting time for about 5 or 6 coats of Mr. Super Clear. Supplies: MSC, watercolor pencils, acrylic paint, dry pastels, pastel blending stick, tiny paintbrushes.
MSC Coat One. I then drew a picture of the design, which I then drew again lightly on his arm in watercolor pencil. My master plan had originally been to do something simple with a snake in it. In the end I complicated it a little... Haha. I made a huge mess with the pencil, so with a damp q-tip I went in and tried to clean up my lines a little bit. MSC Coat Two.
I painted the snakes with acrylic. My first thought was "I hope this looks better when it is done!"
I colored most of the flowers with acrylic too (all but one!). I then used a blending stick and dry pastels for the water. MSC Coat Three. My pictures then skip to the finish... What I did before that was shade everything acrylic with pastel, color anything that wasn't colored with pastel and outline the entire design in dry watercolor pencil. There were two more MSC coats during that time.
Titian's first look at the finished work!
Titian: Wow. My arm is so good looking now. We should take more pictures.
Me: ...But I want to go to bed. I have to work tomorrow...
Titian: We should take more pictures. ^_____^
So we did. We stole Sulla's wig, of course!
Little pink flowers... somehow went unfinished! Damn! I suppose I'll probably finish them someday...
Mink: This was definitely worth sitting all alone for two days! I want one!
Titian: You weren't the one with a paper towel over his head...
Mink: But I was all alone!
