Acrylic Sierra

One more for showing off...

I need to stop experimenting and get to work. I have a pile of pens to do up and the learning curve has put me a bit (OK, a lot) behind.

It's hard to believe, but I actually get paid for this kind of stuff. Whoot!!!

No, It's Lyles work. I'm just doing the pics right now. The only time I ever did acrylics was when I had my metal working lathe. Did a few where the only piece I used from the kit was the nib and pocket clip, but I wasn't really happy with them. I had probs with the threads in the cap stripping out and other nasties that made them unusable.

If you look for the post called "Spalted Maple", that's one of mine. I have some of my work here with Desert Ironwood I might get around to shooting soon and posting.

Size in pixels? ummm... about 1000x650 roughly as posted.

In kilobytes I think it was 60 or 70-some k after shrinking to its posted size and compressing.

The original is about 4000x3000 pixels and some megabytes.

I read somewhere the max size you can upload here is 100k. I don't often go over 70k. I tend to post on the large side because that's what I like to see. (my eyes aren't what they used to be.)

If I eliminated the shadow I could probably get the whole thing under 40k without much loss of detail or size.
