I hope someone hires Tzan so that he can't do this to the next mosaic I'm working on.

Crisis averted!

Can you tell I had nothing to do yesterday?
Today I was out in the freezing cold measuring a barn + 3 car garage.
I'm lucky my toes don't have frostbite.

I am not sure what we have unleashed here.

But Tzan needs a job, or a girlfriend.

Or both.

Do we have any way to combine the two?

I just realised the version of the mosaic in the first panel is also the version Tzan assaulted with his OCD.

He's that OCD about it he couldn't even include the original, that's fucking dedication.

The one in the first panel is Natalya's.
The change between that and my first are very subtle.

Some of those tiles in the last image are crooked.

The crookedness was the artistic part.

Here He Is

Post by Natalya » Tue Mar 11, 2014 7:27 pm

Okay I need some halp. Here's what I have so far:

Image

The mosaic seemed too narrow to be a proper portrait when I had it laid out, so I decided to include part of the door and have that border it. When I got this all done it looked too plain, so I hacked away at the door pieces to shatter it. Unfortunately, I still don't think it looks good. I'm considering painting REDRUM in red down the left side, I think that might improve it, but I'm not sure. What do y'all think?

I knew what it was the instant I saw it.
Is that particle board?

I think its fine the way it is.

The only thing you could do is add a layer of wood over what you have, made of real wood.
Then on the leftish could be some actual vertical door trim, then further left could be some sheetrock/plaster wall.
More elaborate and time consuming, just depends on how much you want to work on it.

This one is plywood, all previous mosaics of mine (except the tree) are particleboard.

I did the fake trim at an angle because in the reference picture it appears at an angle. If I was going to do real trim and drywall then I'd probably need to make it a lot wider.
