Just wanted to update everyone on the artwork that is in the Fan Art Show at Kaleidoscope Venue for the Arts on Saturday night.

Up-cycled Art Glass Fan

Dia de los muertos

Gabriel

Castlevania/Konami

Vincent Valentine

The fan is a glass fan that has been "reverse painted" with alcohol inks, glitter paints and metallic paint.  A layer of satin varnish has been applied on the back with a finishing layer of furniture polish on both the back and front.  The light passes through the front and is reflected back at the viewer.

Dios de los Muertos is a fan art piece inspired by the many different versions of a female skeleton (Calaveras).  She is an 9" x 12" mixed media canvas using a "faux" fresco type technique.  

Gabriel is a fan art piece inspired by Gabriel from the video game/series Castlevania.  He is an 9" x 12" mixed media canvas using a "faux" fresco type technique.  Konami is the company who produced the Castlevania video game franchise.

Vincent Valentine is a fan art piece inspired by Vincent from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children video game and movie.  He is an 8" x 10" mixed media canvas. Square Enix produced the video game franchise.

Castlevania Fan Art Piece----Gabriel

This is a Castlevania Fan art piece featuring Gabriel.  It is 8" x 10" and is a mixed media piece.  I created a collage background to resemble stucco.  Then, I attached a sketch to the canvas and added color with a variety of media, including acrylic paint, art bars, colored pencil and markers.  I sprayed the finished piece with Krylon acrylic glaze to stabilize the water-based art bars.  

Castlevania: Lord of Shadows Fan Art

Just finished a piece of fan art featuring Gabriel from Castlevania: Lord of Shadows. This is a mixed media 9" x 11" canvas.  The texture on the canvas was created by using gel medium to adhere torn pieces of art paper to the surface.  Gesso was used to adhere strips of gauze to the surface.  I used  graphite pencils, colored pencils, acrylic paints, and Artbars to add color to the image.
