Title: Darren Moore Finished.
Post by: Tiddysdad on May 21, 2020, 02:55:54 pm
Finished my Darren picture earlier in the week. The background was a little bit of a worry but feel that it works well. Hope you like.
Please click on this link to see it.

Thank you for your comments over the last couple of posts they're always welcome. I also posted the pictures on instagram where a couple of people asked if they could get copies well I've just recieved my first initial print run of my finished compulation. I thought I'd let you also know these are now available.
I'm putting these up for sale on my etsy site if anyone interested. As a special offer I'm covering the postage costs for the first few sales so get in quick befor the beer stop having an effect Ha :woohoo:

I'm sorely tempted to buy one. No idea where I'd put it but it's an excellent bit of work.

Excellent work - you should show this to the big man himself!

I'd love to but not got the contacts anymore. It's a long time since I was at the club.

That's great Tiddysdad.

Personally I preferred the line drawing before you coloured it, but thats just me. You definitely need this back in the club shop for more people to see/buy.

Superb work, that is John. It'd look great in the bar at the KM.

Mind, I wish you'd used a different title for this thread. Fair nearly gave me a heart attack when I first saw it.

That is absolutely brilliant Tiddysdad.

You've really captured the big fella there, well done indeed.

I think that it is a very good likeness but I personally liked the more understated background on the earlier showing.
That is only my view and maybe a choice of either your final work or the earlier plainer one might result in more being sold.
Keep up the good work Tiddysdad..👍

That's great, limited edition copies on quality paper to rovers fans?

That's a great rendering but if I'm brutally honest I'm not so keen on the backdrop, what inspired it? It looks like a heavily defocussed shot of a crowd perhaps.

I preferred it on flat white, with my background in graphics I might have been tempted to try a flat block of colour, though red might have overpowered it. Bright yellow might have looked cool but not so appropriate for Rovers fans.

Still though, a really good effort, well done.

How about one of JC?  Similar to the DM one - perhaps an image from his debut, one from play off final and then a most recent one?  i would be keen for something like that
