Jesus feather

[Xray]

Did a stack of 4 out in my ice bound garage this evening, pretty happy with them.

I backed one with black velvet, looks nice, but I think I should have left the open parts of the feather above and below Jesus open ,,, Will try that with the next one.

Both the feather and Jesus are separate Steve Good works, all I did was combine them, if anyone wants the pattern let me know, or dl them from Steve's site and combine

them yourself.

They look very nice Xray and as far as the backer, I've always liked the look of the black backround especially with a portrait. As far as the openings at the top and bottom goes I wouldn't know what to suggest. Thanks for sharing these with us all.

The openings look good filled, and not.

I was going to try one with red velvet, but it looked kinda out of place as a background for Jesus, so I think I'll stick with black ,, Or maybe get some gold.

Tiger head feather, another stack of 4, fairly intricate.

I wanted to do a snarling tiger, but the teeth added a level of complexity & detail that I thought was unwise to try on something so small.

Not thats it tiny ,,, But I'm pretty sure I would have botched the teeth.

Nice job xray ,when detail get to be a problem i enlarge the pattern so it won't be.Large feathers on the wall would look good .I never knew what colors look best as a backing but i thing lucky2 has the right idea as black go's with anything. Steve good taught me that if your skill are not real good for detail don't go so close.Michael jackson on tip toes from steve goods patterns was a problem for me as the legs get critical being long and skinny close together.after i heard this advice it works out good for me.

Well, we all have to work within limits.

I like these fairly small, and just have to accept that fine details like fangs are not very feasible.

I can, and have, made them larger ,, But that starts getting away from what I really want to do, and that is a bit pointless.

Like the wolf head in my avatar ... I'd love to scroll something like that, but it would be insane to even try it.

hi jessie , can you make a pattern of the avatar of the wolf in question and i'll try it with the infamous spirals .Let me know what size it should be when finished.I'm reuping on ink in a few more days and i'll tackle the wolf then,thanks.add the jesus pattern's too.

[Xray]

I'm not much of a pattern maker, I can make simple alterations to existing works to make the scrollable, thats about it.

The avatar is as found on the net.

Never claimed to be much of a painter, but I've been spinning around the idea of painting up one of my tigers, here is the result.

[amazingkevin]

[Xray]

Thanks for the comments, heres another variation I came up with today - I think I got the eyes a bit better.

Next, I'm going to see if I call pull off a white tiger, will post back [unless it looks horrendous].

[toolbeltman]

Nice looks like the head is pushing out of the feather..

xray might try a dark purple felt as backer , i've used it before on Jesus portraits and it looks good. ron

[Xray]

Well, this is black felt, seems a little more tiger like than purple.
