Description
I wanted to do a Punisher piece, but I wanted it to feel raw and messy and broken. I thought about painting, but I felt like my painting style is too refined. I needed to get my hands dirty with one, so I turned to pastels. Knowing I wanted texture to the piece, I did some research and discovered a product that i could apply to a panel to make it gritty enough for the pastels to take. Total game changer!I took a bunch of my old shooting targets and collaged them together on a panel (Punisher art needs to be riddled with bullet holes and have traces of gunpowder in it!), gessoed over them and plastered areas for texture. I masked off the skull and set the background in spray paint and then worked up the skull in acrylics. And then it was all pastel drawing. I loved working on the texture and the juxtaposition between a delicate medium on a harsh surface. I'm super stoked about this piece and so happy with how it turned out!

This looks super awesome. I also agree that you've made a wise decision doing a "raw and messy and broken" style. I really like those textures. They fit perfectly.
That is a really good idea using your old shooting targets too!

Thanks!! It was a hell of a process too with everything looking like it wasn't going to work but then it all finally came together in the end. Truth be told, I haven't been this excited about a piece in a while. I absolutely loved doing it.

Thanks again. I've found that people either love it or hate it...and that all depends on if you're familiar with the character.

Nice work, I like the color scheme you used. The composition is also very nice. That skull in the background is amazing (very detailed). Thumbs up!

I totally agree with you that the rough look of this is essential and fantastic. I really love this work. the texture of the skull is amazing and I love your use of dark tones and colours

Thank you so much! The whole thing was trying new stuff that I didn't think would work but then it actually worked out really well. It's usually the opposite. lol.
