11 08 27 Cheshire Cat 423 viewsI've finished adding the teal to the striping on front in this shot. I put my hand in the arms and legs to pull the lycra taught when I'm painting the limps, so I inevitably get paint all over my hands.Aug 28, 2011

11 08 27 Cheshire Cat 518 viewsAfter the front and back have been painted, I pin the unitard onto its side and check that a) the stripes line up, b) the stripes are complete (check for white space in the seam), and c) add any other design elements necessary for the finished piece. I darkened the grey background and added Jacquard's "Blue Halo Gold" Lumiere paint into the stripes.Aug 28, 2011

11 08 27 Cheshire Cat 614 viewsHere is one of the Cheshire cat stripes, up close and photographed with the intent to be a true-to-life representation of what's really going on in the stripes.Aug 28, 2011
110827 Cheshire 098.JPG
11 08 27 Cheshire Cat 213 viewsHere's an in-progress shot of the silver striping going on. First I brushed on some Jacquard's Dye-na-flow in pewter to break up the plain grey of the unitard and to make the sides darker than the front and back. Then comes Jacquard's Lumiere in silver, brushed on just below where the teal stripes will eventually go.Aug 28, 2011

11 08 27 Cheshire Cat 325 viewsAt this point, I've finished the silver striping, added some metallic navy for underneath the stripes, and only just started to apply the teal paint.Aug 28, 2011

11 08 27 Cheshire Cat16 viewsThis is my setup when I first started painting this Cheshire cat unitard. You can see the paints I think I'll use lined up on my desk, and the unitard is pinned to the cork board, ready to go. The concept art was punched onto a nail in the wall to keep it out of the way, and the paints were pushed out of the way as well.Aug 28, 2011

11 06 04 - Ring Tailed Lemur Makeup65 viewsSnazaroo white and black, as well as some Mehron gold pigment. This is my second lemur attempt, so I've learned from experience, but you might be able to see where I shifted some paint even here, trying to figure out what works best. I'm getting close!Jun 04, 2011
