Description It is finally done! I'm so happy!!

This was a actually a nightmare...I spent three days straight in the studio working on this to get it done before the deadline. I put the actual collage up at the top of it with it.

A couple of things I learned while painting this:

1. I cannot paint a straight line to save my life.

2. Everything I see now in life I see in colors and brush strokes.

3. I HATE Sebastian's Demon mark! (Why you so sexy Sebby with your difficult demon mark?!)

4. Everytime I looked at my collage to see if I got a color right the color would change on me.

5. I turn out with more paint on me at the end of each painting session than my painting has.

6. I officially HATE FIRE!!!

So just a couple things I learned from this painting. Can't see I never learned anything from painting. But I am overall with this painting I think it turned out beautifully for rushing through it the last couple of days, but I now get to post it online on my birthday! Yay!

But I got an A on it...49/50...98%...I lost a point on color matching which I agree with. I have a few things that I would like to change...some of Mello's rosary beads are a little too dark for my taste because Matt's goggles were still wet when I painted the beads over top. I don't know how I feel about the left lens of Matt's goggles, but I suppose it looks alright for my rush job.

Oil on 18x24? canvas
Reasoning behind it: They are most of the books I love...unfortunately Artemis Fowl got cut out by my professor...but that is why there is a book in the middle of the painting with different symbols from many of my favorite stories.

Eye: Series of Unfortunate Events
Sword: The Underlander Chronicles
Mask: Guardians of Ga'Hoole
Glasses: Harry Potter
Demon Mark: Black Butler
Spiral Hill: Nightmare Before Christmas (It was a poem before it was a movie!)
Skull with Hat: Skulduggery Pleasant
Goggles with Rosary: Death Note
Clock Hands: Keys to the Kingdom

Any comments or critiques are welcome as always! I hope everyone has a wonderful day! ~

You did a great job on the demon mark. Of course, I think anyone who can paint is amazing, so don't take my word for it.
Oh, what did you do for Artemis Fowl?

Thanks!! I thought it was ok, but there are always things I wish I could fix/touch up or do differently...ah the curses of being a perfectionist...but I am overall happy with it.

Yeah I think painting is a very difficult area of art to deal with so I agreee with you! ^^

I was going to do some Gnommish letters I thought were interesting, but my professor cut them out because the collage was already too busy...but I think that mayb if I knew how to use photoshop and could have made a collage that way I think I could have made a really neat collage with the letters in it...oh well...>.<

That looks SO AWESOME!!!!!It`s a shame you could not add Artemis fowl but it looks awesome anyway.I would give you 100% if I would be the teacher.I really like the colors and I don`t know why he/she gave you 98%.Or maybe it's me who is color blind (it might be actually...)
Anyway,awesome work!!!!
