Nice closeup. Helps me see that I might not need to be so OCD on the details.

The close up was taken before I realized I forgot the black in the whisker stubbs...hahahah but done in the other pics:)

That is where the Devil Lives! In the Details you should be very ocd about them!

I hate 1 color stuff, even 2 in pushing my patience for detail, these doors are going to be the sickest door panels EVER! I just had to get rocking on some color today so I could feel like I was moving forward, I am thinking now I should also start on the 2nd panel at the same time so when this one is done I don't feel to overwhelmed on starting the other one...flip flop back and forth and concentrate and finish 1 picture 100 % at a time. That is my new plan...after I get going on the Ford Logo color and finish beveling the first one....D the loneliest letter right now.

There were a couple little bleed over spots that would drive me nuts normally, but it doesn't really show through when you step back and look at it as a whole. That's the kind of OCD stuff I was talking about. That's always my biggest problem - sometimes striving so hard for perfection that it sets me back.

I think that's a good idea to start the other one now, as long as you're satisfied with the overall scheme now. Right now it probably seems like a lot of overload just focusing on the one panel. Working two at the same time could be like a mental break and help you feel like you're not just doing one thing all day. Plus, that will give you time to soak up what you've done on one and make a good determination of where you're going with it. You know, let it stew for a bit and not over think it while it's fresh.

If you are talking about on the nose, it was actually a choice, to make it look human...It was looking to perfect, sometimes a "mistake is what sets it up for someone to go oh man that was all done by hand!"

Sometimes I make "mistakes" for a reason...:) Call it what you will, but it was a choice to kind of give the nose a little character, and when you stand back a foot like you said it all comes together...a hint of red in the pupil, and dab of fade black into green...all meticulously calculated:) 4:45 to dye it is a bit overkill in my opinion, but it needed the time...

The part that I noticed was a little bit of black that bled up into the natural brow area. Honestly, only someone as anal retentive as me would ever notice it I'm sure :rofl:

My mom always taught me when i was a kid that you HAVE to put some "mistakes" in your art. One, for the reason you said (it is handmade after all and not done on a CNC or something) and two, to identify it as yours. I remember some of her bead work that had a single red bead in the middle of a sea of orange. Stuff like that is great for the craftsman. Like I said, seeing that stuff in your work just helps me remember that some of that is OK. Now, let's see if I can actually get some work done today......

Funny the things you spot, it was the tuft of stray fur on top of one ear that drew my eye.

That cat certainly POPS now there's some color on him.

Good idea to start the other panel now, not only beaks it up for you, but gives us more to look at. thumbsup.gif

And the blade of that straight razor is calling out to be gilded with silver leaf Lighten.gif

My OCD is my biggest problem as well. When you look at the picture a ways back it is super cool and shows I get too nuts over the detail work but I can't help it.

Have you been slacking, or did you finally decide to let it rest for a while??
