Also finished dremelling up the king of Cannibal Island frame....
Thanks Again TikiRay for that attachment!
Cloooooooooose-UP!
and had a minor disaster last friday with the wandering island!
I had applied my ink to the canvas adding a satin varnish to it
THAT I HAD NEVER TESTED!!!!!! and then proceeded to do the outlines in paintpen
and got most of the village and 2/3 of the boat done....
SO FAR SO GOOD...
Then i sealed that with my Ceramcoat satin varnish and.....
IT STARTED FLAKING AWAY THE INK AND OUTLINES !
By the time i was done cleaning it up,it looked like someone had sanded it!
YOINKS!
ALWAYS TEST YOUR MEDIUMS AND MATERIALS!
ALWAYS!
Anyways, using the old cranium, i applied washes of acrylic over the ruins
and also added a bit of grey to the sky and landscape to give it more of that
misty morning feeling of the ink drawing.....
AND IT WORKED!
it sealed it in and nothing else "came up" and so i went back to outlining
ALL DAY LAST FRIDAY! ALL DAY!
so, after that tale of woe....here are the pics so far....
water!
EXTREME CLOSEUP!
Here's a pic to give ya a sense of scale....

Big closeup of Orongo head...
