Armorman Art Shadowbox, or....

Neptune · #1 07-26-2012, 04:15 PM

How Heavy Metal took over my mind and wouldn't let me finish this thing.

I started to take one of AM's art sketches that really inspired me and wanted to turn it into some cool looking Heavy Metal style arwork and take that art and turn it into a shadowbox card model. I went through more than sixty different iterations of which you can see about ten versions below. At any rate, as is oft to happen with virtually every artist I know, I started going down the garden path of artistic expression and got myself lost and ended up in the realm of Alice and the rabbit. I've come back to this several times, but I'm determined to get this done, though beware, there may be more than one version.. See some of the early attempts below.

Kind of like "this is your mind on cornflakes, no this is your mind on oatmeal". I like the art work. wc

Be careful. You might just end up doing some Warhol-ish composite of all of them.

Then again, that could be cool, too.

That could very easily happen.

A few more variations of a theme.... As soon as I'm happy with one of these I'll proceed to the build section.

Do we get to vote? I'd go with the third one in the second batch, if a vote were taken today. Bright enough, dark enough and a very aesthetic color choice.
