MADMAX22 Report post Posted April 11, 2010 Wow that turned out pretty darn nice man. I can see you being employeed to make a few (probably more like dozens) for friends and family. Looks like alot of work went into it, I can see why you say finally finished lol. What did you use for the background around the cross, I cant really see from the pics. Overall looks great to me, nice natural finish that will just get better with age. The only thing I would maybe look into trying is the front floral under the cross, maybe try to run the background that you do over the whole thing up to the floral and keep the regular backgrounder that your using on the floral just to within its boundaries. Hope you understand what Im saying. Thats just a little artsy thing that I am nitpicking at, it really did turn out good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would make it blend in a little better. The background tool is a Tandy matting tool. Sorry don't know the number. Thanks for your comments.

electrathon Report post Posted April 13, 2010 I think it looks very nice. I am betting someday you will be talking to God and will find out he is proud of the work you did too. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
