Description Somewhat better quality photos

I still couldn't sleep so I decided to take some progress shots of the longboard I'm designing.

Though it may look like the finished product, there are still a few crucial steps left. Jin and I will be livening up the colors using oils. The colored pencils alone look a bit too dull. Lastly, the board WILL have to be clear-coated XD

I wish I had a Loaded board *snff* Ahaha

Goodnight everyone!

That's better than a loaded! I really want to make my own. Loadeds are so popular that they've almost become generic

Is that a Sector 9 Sunset deck? Man, I wish that art was done on an even better deck.

I've had three Loaded boards before, but only have one of them now: Vanguard flex 2, Dancer flex 2, and now a Fish flex 2.

I love the subtle coloring and how it blends in.
The use of earth tones is really good. The texture of the water is very artful. It also blends in well with the wood. The facial features are gorgeous and I <3 the horns lol. Reminds me of Aries because of the ram and stuff. ^ ^

I've wanted a longboard for the longest time... Your design looks awesome so far! I can't wait to see it after you liven it up with oils. Ahhh, it's so pretty!

yunamira [2009-07-31 21:16:22 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous work! May I ask about the treatment/products you used to make this? Aside from sanding off the previous design, did you do anything to treat the board beforehand? And is this done just with colored pencils (skills!!)? What sort of clear, protective stuff will you use to coat the board when you're done adding acrylics?
Sorry to ask so many questions. >.< I've been wanting to experiment with painting/coloring on wood for a while now.
