Description Done more as a test of an idea than an actual serious work of mine. So yeah, I know I could have done a better job with the coloring in some areas, but like I said, this was more of an experiment than a serious peice.

In my art class we've been working with acrylic a bit recently, and though I don't really like it all too much ( I suspect this is only because I've only been working at a size that is a bit larger than I'd like) I wanted to try seeing how acrylic and watercolor would work together. And this is the result, albeit I did significantly mess around with the contrast brightness and saturation using my computer

What I wanted to try was to see how(or if) an undercoat of acrylic to deepen the shadows and add depth and hues would effect the final product. I also wanted to practice more with the folds in the clothing.

Oh, and this foxy-mask-suit guy needs a name, 'cause I actually like him enough that I may want to use him again for stuff so if you have any ideas, fell free to shout 'em out.

Ooh, this looks sweet. I'm really liking those dark shadows.

A name, hm? If you're still looking for one, how abouts Titus? Means fire in Latin, I believe. Or there's Aden/Aiden/Aidan/Edan, which mean 'little fire'. Or Cham, which means heat.

Or if you want something to go with his mask...uh...Dionysus was the god of wine and excess, and a patron of Greek theater. Or Oannes, who was actually the god of theater.

Nice job on this! Love how the city/rubble fades to blak with such a bright line of blazing sky behind it!
