Get Spotted!

I finally did something that I've wanted to do for a while now - a spotted pen. The original was always going to be a dalmatian pattern - white with black spots. I started it before the ladybug, but a little mishap down at the brewery delayed the dalmatian, and the ladybug was finished first. The ladybug was suggested by ethernautrix at a pen posse gathering a few weeks ago, and I thought the colors would be perfect for a pen.

I'm very happy with how it turned out! The first one isn't perfect, but I am confident that the next one (after the dalmatian at least - more learning opportunities with that one http://fpgeeks.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png ) will be. I'm very happy to add these to my roster.

Next up will be more colors, and a drop shadow idea that I have. It should be really cool... if it works http://fpgeeks.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png

There's also a video at the link above, and a few more photos, but the photos posted below are probably the best of the bunch..

Thanks for looking!

That's really cool.

Thanks! I wasn't planning on inking it, but it's just sitting here looking like it needs ink.....

Love, love, love the spots! Can you make them in Bengal Cat colors?

I think so - Bengal cats are awesome! I have a tabby that's somewhat close to that color.

Calico? White with blobs of black and orange, like this?

(I especially like the black-orange-black blob visible on her flank.)

I can't really shade one color into another - at least with this technique - but I think I could blob colors together, similar to my drop shadow idea. I have plans for non-round spots, so that may work here too
