probably the reason i took this screenshot originally was well. gillian's sportin my favorite face. but also, you can see her freckles quite well. i also sport freckles (but more of them), so i'm always extra happy to see freckles not covered with makeup in media. we're basically twins 😌 anyway i'm happy to stare at her face and try to render it on my screen yet again.
this angle though, off it gives me fits. even counting the grid boxes i get terribly lost. also thought if i didn't render the background exactly, i could pass it off as more just a general portrait? i'm trying to figure out the trick other artists who also do more realistic stuff from reference make it seem like something... new. hum.
A little bit late for the 30th Anniversary of the X-Files...
I've made another I Want to Believe stained glass panel! It's for sale at my shop. It measures about 9.5x12.5".
i found a few more fanart collages on my old drive that never made it to my old site and now i am inflicting them on you, you're welcome. (i was 17, be kind)
how i long for the image archives of the old days. i have no idea where half of these pictures came from.
You've kept me honest, you've made me a whole person. I owe you everything, Scully, and you owe me nothing. I don't know if I wanna do this alone. I don't even know if I can ... and if I quit now, they win.

My latest piece: X-Files Candleholder. I have made this before but felt inspired by the 30th Anniversary to make it again.
Using my minimalist design of characters Mulder and Scully, an alien, and the iconic X logo, I've added in the X-logo (in the past, I made the holder with one side featuring a mini-IWTB poster).
Glass paint was used for the ID badges and Scully's necklace. Base is made with mirrored glass on the interior and a cork pad to protect your surfaces on the bottom. Measures approximately 3.25x3.25x4".
The holder is perfectly sized to hold a tealight or votive candle or it's a great and fun way hold your pens and other stationery! Either way, it's a wonderful addition to your desk or shelf and lets everyone know you're a diehard Phile!
