the adventures of charlie mcnabb and his travels...

super mixed media and resin on wood panel - 16 x 36

Charlie McNabb was always the kid who got picked on in school... so as he grew, he was determined to change this and make something of himself - he decided to see the world and travel... along his way, he made friends with an octosquid from the very depths of the seas named robert... becoming bestest of pals, they continued to travel the world and see all of its wonders, all while blasting hi fives, and drinking cheap beers... 

the process of this painting was intense, there's a brief overview of it posted below...

the making of...

I've been super busy lately... but finally there's something to show off...

first coat of resin put down.  I sanded some clouds in so they'd show up real subtle like... drew on the initial sketch to use as a guideline and did some splatter fun time...

the base layer of the octosquid is painted on...

then, the turtle gets livened up. this one with more going on, because it gets set in more resin to give the whole piece some depth...

turtle blaster got his details drawn in and is lookin pretty sharp...

the second coat of resin has been put on - this is a pic of the stencil required for spraying the octosquid and bringing him to life...  Some more sanding was done, this time around the body and some other details to make them stand out from the glossy resin.
