Mural (work in progress)
« on: 30 Jan 2007, 00:02 »

If anyone remembers the Sharpie'd Chuck Taylors I posted here, this is the continuation of my work in that style (oh man I sounded pretentious there).

I'm working on a mural in my room at the moment, here is what it looks like so far (the sides, top, and bottom have been cut off a bit ... quite a lot, in fact, in the case of the sides.  I'll get a more complete/better quality picture up when I can).  For scale reference, the center Golden Chao symbol is about the size of a CD.  What you see here was done mainly with Sharpie paint pens and took about a month of intermittant work.

All hail Discordia!

Turns out, unfortunately, that the two symbols embedded within the Golden Chao are generally side-by-side instead of vertically oriented.  Ah well.

You are awsome! *bows down* I absolutely love it! Have you ever thought of getting paid doing it for other people? You totally could get money out of doing that, as a business. You have mad skillz!

That's pretty insane. It must take a lot of dedication (and time, of course).

Be sure to post when it's finished, okay? I think it'll turn out great, and I can't wait to see it.

Here's the best picture I have so far.  I'll have one that doesn't have me in it soon.

Yay good pictures!  I finally took pictures with a non-cell-phone camera.



Since this picture, I extended the dancing mushroom men to the other end of the wall and then gave them a background.  Also, I finished up the flame-y stuff in the bottom left corner.  More pictures to come as progress continues.  Oh, and I have some closer-ups if people want to see them ... I don't want to spam everyone with redundant images, but if you want more, say so.

That is amazing. Please stop showing off, it's making me feel bad...

So how much time have you spent on this project so far?

I admit that I have a very naïve understanding of Discordianism, but I can't imagine any Discordians would really care?

The thunderbird ...


The running mushroom men ...


A closeup of the bottom right side, which is definitely my favorite ...


I should add that the procession of mushroom men has since been extended all the way to the right border of the wall, filled in, and given a background, so the 3 or so inches above the border that they're running on is now without any whitespace.  Updated pictures will happen soon, I hope.

This is the coolest piece of art I've ever seen. I could never be so patient. The colors. Oh god the colors. And the dancing mushroom dudes.

You, my good sir, deserve a high-five.


*Cyber high-five!*

Doesn't it bother you that the thunderbird and the sun aren't centered between your two windows? Either way, that's way cool, OWW. Looks spectacular (and like it's taken forever to do!)

(Oh, and Panda? High fives on this forum are given by one of two means: ^5 or o/. If you go o/ the other person will respond \o. See it?)
