Commission In-Progress Pics/Tutorial

[Mr. Woo]

I thought everyone would benefit from some pictures and explanation. I've started a commission of the Marvel Comics character Bullseye for a forum member. Here are some pics of his progress.

1. I cleaned the mugg with soap and water.
2. I laid down a light coat of a gray primer (spray paint / neutral color)
3. Then I covered that with the Mugg's undercoat. (white)
4. I used the masking technique. (I drew out all of the parts of the mugg with pencil or sharper and then I taped over them. I used an exacto knife to (cut my finger open, that was an accident, not recommended...three stitches) cut out the shapes that were to stay covered/ stay white.
5. With the parts that were to stay white covered with form fitted tape I put an overcoat of black (with spray paint) over the mugg. Black is Bullseye's main color so this made sense. If you have a mugg with a lot of one color this is (as I've found) the best way to go about it.
7. At my current stage (pics below) I am filling in black paint around the details on the mugg and covering up the pencil marks left behind under the tape.
8. More tips to come soon!

Here are some more in progress pics. I still need to paint in the face but I wanted to run the design by the comissioner first. So tell me what you think (all of you) I will post pics of the finished progress in showcase as soon as he gets back to me. Yeah that is the Bullseye variant cover of Sprider-Man 572 in the corner. I love to get my inspiration (in this case for the face) right from the comics. Enjoy.

got some suggestions here, if ever you can still change the face.

>> Make the circle on the forehead round
>>And the eyes are a little smaller for the face. If you can make it bigger much better. :)

[Mr. Woo]

Woo got some suggestions here if ever you can still change the face. Make the circle much circle and the eyes i think are a little smaller make it bigger. :)

I dont mean to offend but you need to rewrite this with better grammar. try typing s-l-o-w-e-r. I really want to utilize your suggestions but i cant understand what your saying.

[toyboy]

i edited my post. is that clear to you? just say so. :)

[Mr. Woo]

Ok. I didnt change the Eyes. I like them that small. It denotes deviousness and evil. He is a killer. I made the circle and the front white arc a little more straight as far as the outlines and curves. I personally love this mugg. Let me know hwat you think. I havent used the spray sealer on it yet so I can still change things.

looks really good but i think the eyes should be closer together and maybe even a tad bigger.

[Mr. Woo]

Ok. Enough people said it for me to be convinced. I'm fixing his eyes.

Pics in a little bit.

Ok. Eyes are fixed. Bigger and closer together. I love this mugg. I feel that its done (except for spray sealing) Buy I wis hto hear your thoughts.

[toyboy]

much better eyes Mr. Woo :) you can start the spray sealing. :)

[Mr. Woo]

I appreciate your approval toyboy. youll be the first to see it sealed once I do. But i need the word from the buyer and then the all clear is sounded.
