Tinbeard


An old ghost robot, Tinbeard rides his plume of smoke in search closure. The factory where he used to be employed burned down during the 5th annual Flamethrower Festival.

This piece is done on the same 5"x7" matte board that Abe was, gel pen and.....GLOW-IN-THE-DARK MOD PODGE. That's where it gets that green tint. I layered it on thick to build up the silhouette in the beginning. Though I couldn't take a picture that would capture it, Tinbeard glows quite hauntingly, especially on the hands and head, where I made the Podge the thickest.
