Today I made another atempt at an acrylic painting. I think It turned out better then last time. Incase you are wondering, the T-Shirt says El Pollo Diablo. I've been doing alot of El Pollo Diablo reacently. Below I have a picture of a clay statue I made of El Pollo Diablo. It also doubles as a piggybank - There I put in my 2 cents worth (It contains 2 pennys)
Anyways, Although unintentional, this painting apparently comes off as a little creepy, I think it must have something to do with the teeth, or the fact that she's almost cluchting her chest but not quite. Actualy originaly I was just going to paint her arm at her side, but I thought that was boring so I changed it, I just did this position on a whim- thats the position that I use when I'm trying to keep my hair out of the paint.
I realy think I did a good job with color this time, Its hard useing black in skin tones because it makes it very gray looking. It gives it a very styleized look though.
To me this painting is about being nervous in social situations, on the outside your comunicating and laughing and talking with everyone else, but your also praying your not comming off as a idiot, or annoying or stupid.
