PanaceaFish Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) I made this batik back in my college days, and then gave it to my sister (although I wish I hadn't! LOL), so I snapped a pic of it to show off here: http://img477.imageshack.us/img477/5481/apr01220fh4.jpg I had to use the 3 original drawings I did of the fellas as a guide for this: http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/9897/geddyxm4.jpg http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9460/alexdh7.jpg http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/3400/neilko4.jpg I had loads of fun making this, as I'd never done batiking before, unfortunately, I'll probably never get the opportunity to make another, not that it matters, cos I've been having fun with Rush pix in Photoshop! More to come... Edited July 17, 2008 by PanaceaFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanaceaFish Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have many other drawings, but no scanner (I was lucky enough to scan the ones I posted here at Design School), and my sister is sleeping, so I can't ask her to hook up her laptop it it till Friday, and even then, I'll be lucky if she does me the favor of scanning a few more drawings... In the meantime, I made some Photoshop "etchings" I can display here: http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9900/geddyengraved2sq0.jpg http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5866/alexengraved3ue0.jpg http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6389/neilengraved2ge7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanaceaFish Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thank you very much, c2bf! If I ever get the otehr drawings out from my closet, and manage to talk my sis into letting me scan a few, I will post them, but until then, I'll fiddle about with Photoshop, and see what I can make next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanaceaFish Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) Thank you kindly, TAK!! Here's another thing I did in Photoshop to tide you all over while my sister scans 3 drawings of mine: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/DahniLovesSquire/Rush%20Pix/Rush%20Art/RushEmbossed.jpg I hope I'll be able to post the drawings later tonight...

PanaceaFish Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) Ok...I was able to have 3 drawings scanned...Hopefully, I'll be able to get a few more scanned, if not, I'll have to resort to using the digital camera to take some pictures of them...We shall see: In the meantime, here's one of Gedd that I really like: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/DahniLovesSquire/Rush%20Pix/Rush%20Art/Geddy.jpg Edited July 20, 2008 by PanaceaFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaoi_myantidrug Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 those are all awesome! I hate you for being able to draw though and whats a batik? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanaceaFish Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 I had only vaguely heard of it back in the day when my class were taught how to do it...It's a process of dyeing with Parafin (a kind of wax)...Notice I had to use Earthy colors to get the most natural look...

Jaye Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Wow, those two are great as well! I can't draw Alex to save my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) PF, those are fantastic! Yeah, I bet you wish you could get that batik back. Don't suppose she'd sell? Some of the drawings and the etchings would look great as posters. Edited July 20, 2008 by Marathonist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanaceaFish Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thanx, Lauren!! And NO, I know for a fact that my sister wouldn't sell that batik, nor give it back to me, perhaps she'll will it to me??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanaceaFish Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Here's another drawing of Gedd...Now this particular pic was too big to fit in the scanner, so I had to bring out the trusty digital camera, and snp a pic of it, then tweak it up a bit in Photoshop: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/DahniLovesSquire/Rush%20Pix/Rush%20Art/Geddy2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanaceaFish Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 My next drawing will be that of the FBN album cover, but that too is too big to fit the scanner and the pic I took of it last night kinda sucks, so I'll have to do it again (and right this time!!), and see how it looks...

PanaceaFish Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Well! This one came out MUCH better: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/DahniLovesSquire/Rush%20Pix/Rush%20Art/FlyByNightCover.jpg I used colored pencils for this one...
