I am currently working on a large version using a large half inch thick cardboard sheet that came off of a palate at a store. It's pretty large.

You can see small points of grey egg carton. I didn't see it until I was done and i didn't want to mess with it and screw it up so decided to leave it as is. http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=9&q=basil-broketail&offset=24 Some other stuff I've done.

Reply #6 - Aug 1^st, 2012, 5:46am Well, but natural rock isn't always monochromatic - I mean a cave wall is not just orange, it can have gray veins as well So no need to correct your painting in my opinion. Nice album by the way! Did you cast the bronze sword? Greetings, Mauro.

Not sure where they are. Sadly I no longer have access to a furnace so my bronze casting will just have to be in the realm of wishful thinking.

Until you said it was on egg carton, I thought you had actually painted it on a rock face somewhere and I was going to caution you to make sure you signed and dated your work so someone a lot later didn't think it was an origional cave painting, I would say you nailed both the spirit of the wolf and the beliefs behind the cave paintings. I fit the second catagory for this painting.

I used auto primer to have a base coat, but the spray paint didn't want to adhere to it. I'm going to paint on it and see how it goes before I make another one.
