My wife and I saw the Deadpool movie a few weeks back.  We really enjoyed it, so I thought I'd make a Deadpool portrait.  This was also the first project I did on my live stream.  It was a lot of fun to cut out.

 

Normally, I don't color my portraits.  But this one cried out for some color.  Since I stack cut a few of them, I decided to experiment with stain.  I used an ebony stain and a red sienna stain from Minwax.

 

The first one, I had trouble controlling the stain.  It would bleed out into areas I didn't want.  So, for the secone one, I used a woodburner to outline the areas of color I wanted to corral.  That worked really well.  The colors didn't bleed and I had much better control.

Great work on the patterns and cuttings.  The colors look nice.  Seems like your cuttings will last longer than the movie.  It has already come and gone, they sure pumped it up, didn't see it so I have no idea

if it was good or bad.  Thanks for showing us this work.
