This is how I spent part of my weekend! Anime Detour has a charity auction every year and I try to come up with something to put in it. This year is the first year I thought ahead of time ^^;;; J. Michael Tatum will be at the convention and I thought, “What if I woodburned a big picture of Sebastian? And he signed it?” I’ve been emailing the people in charge of the auction and they like the idea!
The burning is done (yay!) and now all that’s left is to have him sign it. The plan is for it to be signed the night before the convention, so it’ll be autographed when its put in the auction on Friday :)
Along with the finished picture is some progress pictures. This was something I started to do on Saturday and finished about half an hour ago ^^
Picture one: All finished, red eyes and all!
Picture two: The start of the project. The picture is sketched onto the wood in pencil, very lightly, in case I had to erase anything.
Picture three: Penciled in the parts that will be woodburned.
Picture four: Started to woodburn, took a picture to show the difference between the woodburn and pencil :)
Picture five: All the burning is done!
This was fun to do and I’m kind of surprised it didn’t take as long as I thought. My poor little woodburning probably hates me, though ^^;;; If you’re going to Anime Detour, be sure to check this out in the auction!
As always, feel free to check out my Etsy store or my DeviantArt :) I haven’t done too many large woodburnings, so I hope this turned out o.k.?
