As part of the press packet for season 4 of AMC’s Breaking Bad they sent out this great Walter White stencil logo that I seriously love:

Breaking Bad Season 4 Logo

So I wanted to pay a little homage and flip it around.  For the background I used the title splash screen as reference (with the smoky dark weirdness) and first put down a black base (Kleancolor Black) and then sponged in green and goldish hilights using Sinful Colors San Francisco and This Is It.  Which turned out way cooler than I thought it would — somehow it created this faux holo effect where the two colors overlapped.

Then I tried putting Walter on my middle finger (because which other nail would be appropriate) using acrylic paint; because I’d gone for a dark background I ended up using the stencil in reverse so that the yellow becomes their bluish part and the black fills in the yellow of his face.  Not super recognizable but it was fun trying to work it out!

    Aww thanks! I’m still a long way off from as good as I want to be (like, to not be going over things constantly or making weird mistakes with lines and all that) but I think it all comes down to challenging yourself regularly, you know? The more you try out stuff you’re not comfortable with the sooner you get there… at least that’s what I’m hoping for!
