Description
Ah, Supernatural, I have too much fun painting you.18x24 in acrylic and gold leaf.
Many of the figurative details were done using a magnifying glass (each face is roughly the size of a nickel.)
Unfortunately, it's been extremely hard to get a proper photo that captures much of the detail I slaved over...so I've been considering getting it professionally photographed for prints.
I wanted to post it here first to see what kind of reception it would get and if it was worth dishing out money for a professional-- so let me know what you think!
I have a detail photo of the figures posted on my tumblr if you want a better view: thirtyartsix.tumblr.com/post/6…
UPDATE: Professional photos came in! Detail, hurrah!!

I think you did a wonderful job! The guys, the background and especially the Impala are all really well done and nicely detailed. I imagine a professional photo would really make those little details pop.

Thanks for your feedback! I may just bite the bullet- it's frustrating not being able to reproduce it properly.

No problem-it's a wonderful painting! I definitely know what you mean. Even when I scan, I never get the all the subtleties of my drawings.

Reproducing traditional art for online viewing/prints is definitely a big pain in the butt. I always feel like, "But...but..but...it looks better than that, I promise!"

Wow. The painting on the car looks pretty incredible. I don't know how you captured that reflection so well.
Is that gold leaf on the background?
