WolverWoehlk - Colored

This is the WolverWoehlk, or 'Sean' for those of you not in the know, and he's the best there is at what he does and what he does is stab pieces of roasted meat on his glove skewers! As drawn by a local caricature artist known as Bill Douglass of www.drawmebill.com, and this belongs to

The challenge that was given to me for this was that it HAD to be colored up as if with watercolors. Well, I thought it would be possible, but it proved to be a bit more technically difficult than expected. I tinkered with a lot of different brushes, and learned new things such as how to make custom brushes in Paint Shop Pro (as well as downloaded a few from some amazing folks) but for the life of me I couldn't get the look to turn out right.

Then it occurred to me, why not change the density of the brush and use stark colors on top of a flat color to get an effect that looks like a splatter effect, while giving it interesting depth for a unique look. It's not watercolor, but I think this turned out quite well all for it. It and it's companion piece, The Mighty Mike.

What do you think of my experiment?
