Alien vs Predator scratchboard ....as the title says!
I had this big sheet of scraperboard/scratchboard for two years and didn't know what to do on it. Then after seeing and faving another artists alien which was drawn on black paper, it dawned on me what I should use my sheet for. Last time I did a scratchboard was one of those pre-printed foil jobbies and I was about 15. So it took me 25 years to have a bash on my own! lol.
I used a red watercolour pencil to do the gun laser bit but apart from that it's all just scratched off surface.
Can't remember how long it took me, over 25 hours though. Oh and it's 24" x 18" in size. I need to get a better picture though, quite a bit of detail has been lost...
Oh and for those of you that don't know what scratchboard is, it's board that has been covered in a chalk layer then has a coat of indian ink over it, and you get a pointy tool thing and scratch away areas of the black coat revealing the chalk layer underneath. m'kay?
The detail is amazing! Great job Ruth! Scratchboard is no joke. You have to make sure you take away the perfect amount of black and I think you did just that. The wrinkles and texture on the Predator's face is really well-done.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
