fanart, Robin III (Tim Drake)

Fandom: DC Comics
Characters/Pairings: Robin III (Tim Drake)
Media used: mixed media (ink, acrylic paint, chalk pastels, razor blade)
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: This turned out rather more mixed media than planned, due to me trying to salvage the image from the completely blotched state that was the result of a supposedly water-resistant ink being quite soluble in specific circumstances after all. So it looks rather different from what I imaged, and not nearly as nice as a promising pre-blotch inbetween state did (which I unfortunately didn't scan), that had more texture and scratched gradients, but the black ink dissolved when I tried adding the color highlights and thus the ink ran into them. Also as usual the scanner didn't actually scan the colors as they are on the paper, though I tried to correct it as best as I could to compensate for that piece of color blind crap. Um, well, I usually try not talk this much about everything that went wrong (it doesn't give a good audience bias) but this was a very frustrating evening, and I can't help the venting.

I think it came out awesome for all of the trouble you had with it, and I love that yellow-and-red on the black. It's gorgeous.

And omg, his hand, I hate doing hands how did you do that?

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. For the hand I took a picture of my own hand holding something similar with my digital camera and then sketched using that as a reference.

Nice! I'm really impressed with how much detail you got into an image made up of all dark colors.

I dunno what the original was supposed to look like, but this looks really cool, the textures and colors. The shape of his arm looks particularly good.

Thanks, it's great to hear it still works. It was intended to be lighter in some areas, with a bit more of the black scratched away, but those structures were covered again when the ink dissolved.
