Sad Eyeball cannot deal with all the emotions around him. Kind off went off the subject from Melancholy into a kind of strange sadness. Like I am this weird thing that feels emotions that is seen as funny.
As you can see in the full unfinished painting, I began to build a world around the protagonist. A high tech room and a passionate figure in an oval doorway. I forgot to take any WIP photos because I got to into it. I was having a bad day and just feeling everything when I started it.
I will describe my process a bit. I started out with a very light sketch with water soluble pencil, then went over with acrylic and flow medium mixed with water for a water color effect on the canvas. Then, once it dried; I layered with other colors and darks and lights and created textures with glass bead gel, fiber paste, fabric softener, shiny packaging and tissue. When that dried I panted areas with shiny silver and iridescent paint. I wanted to think a bit more before I finished it and not rush it; so I will leave it as it is for now.

One thing about making work for contests is my work is usually unfinished or rushed and I find the work substandard. This is unpleasant for me; so perhaps I will not so it as often.
