January 29th, 2006 :: “Coal Bot”
To finish up, I added a few more details like sweat and some fire highlights on the coal and robot. I also decided to mimic the shape of the fire below the robot, in the massive expanse of coal. I think it adds a little more focus to the center of the piece. That’s it. I had fun painting this, and I hope you’ve had fun watching me. For those of you curious about the technical details, this is acrylic on a (roughly) 9.5″ by 21″ found wood panel.
