beautiful weather brought mindy and i back out to the wall to fill in more background details. these things seem a bit pointless, but in the end, the ignorable details are what tie everything together. i finished out the rest of the front north wall with some astrObOts (my tribute to neil armstrong) and more pipes and gears. it is looking pretty filled up at this point and i think this wall is finished. just needs the ugly scribbles on the tv fixed.
i got started on the details on the front south wall today also. i placed two pulley stencils near the top of the wall. then ran a length of chain stencil to different robots pulling on it. i also touched up some of the shading that i hadn't filled in yet. and added a couple versions of the little robot i used in walton to help ground the wall-e and R2-D2 in the corner.
perhaps another day or two and i'll have everything finished out.
Wow! a hell of a lot of work gone into these, they are so rich. I like the patina/rust effects and the chain with its shadow. Also the details like the inner workings on the motorbike. Great piece of work, I hope it lasts a long time.
ReplyDeletethanks patricia...these have been an exceptional amount of work, and they should last a long time. they are quite protected from the weather on the east side of the walls. and all the little details were such an important part to me. most people see this mural driving past as 60mph, but for the people that take the time to pull off the road and investigate the mural, there is so much more for them to discover.
