fanart, Nightwing (Dick Grayson)

[ratcreature]

Fandom: DC Comics
Characters/Pairings: Nightwing (Dick Grayson)
Media used: acrylic paint
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: I tried the scratching thing again, and unlike in my previous try with Robin I used this time only acrylics rather than supposedly water resistant ink. It was slightly harder to scratch (it sometimes sort of chipped?), but at least it didn't dissolve when I painted over it. Additionally this time I remembered to scan the lineart and b/w scratched only inbetween stage in case something went wrong again after all. But I had no mishaps this time. \o/

This looks really cool, I like the effect. Very interesting.

I'm glad you like it. I first saw this scratching with later color glazes in an art book and thought it looked very cool too, so I just had to try it myself. Of course in the book it was applied to nude figure painting practice rather than superheroes. *G*
