Things to do when you're bored

Over the weekend, I bought a set of Acrylic Modellers Paint from Daniels, a department store in Windsor. But it wasn't until today, when I bought a new set of brushes that I could try them out...
 

 
 

The paint went on smoothly, which was somewhat reassuring, although I may need to put a few more coats of red to finish it off. But there also seemed to be something missing, the mid-section lacked any defining detail, but I had no clue how to remedy the situation. So I messed around with the image for a few minutes...


 

I began to wonder how well a corporate identity would work. The ITCH logo is far too insectile & gives the overall impression of a Wasp or Hornet, but the Indie Manga logo works surprisingly well, although the fonts in the logo would be tricky to copy by hand. But I was only trying th epaint out & discovered that the red is actually darker than it appears in the pot, I could paint more figures, but they actually require extensive remodelling before I can even begin!

It was actually the first thing I thought of when I finished painting!

Those were the only colours that I had that worked together. The other paints are White, Grey & Silver (I totally forgot to pick up some Beige, Yellow & Blue).

I would have bought some pink paint, but I forgot that I wanted to paint the cast of Red vs. Blue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_vs._Blue) & put the pink paint back. I could have mixed the red with some white to make pink, but I completely forgot about that as well!

My brother looked at it & told me that, with the expression on it's face, it was saying something like 'I'm gonna kill you while you sleep!'
