For once, my problem with doing a painting is not that i have no ideas, it's that i have too many. And they kind of don't gel too well.

Here are some ideas i drew. In other words, it's either "artsy" & "indie" or whatever by incorporating collage into it (since i now have clear gesso), kind of reminiscent of collages i've seen in the galleries at school & Viggo Mortensen's paintings. Or it'll be narrative, like i like, & probably something Middle-earth based, unless i do decide to do The Crucible one. Though right now, am kind of leaning towards Maedhros & Fingon. The problem there is that i would have to go online & find stock photos. I hate working from photographs. Every time i have ever done so has been a total & utter aggravation. For the collage idea, it would still incorporate observation into it, probably a figure from sketches (which could hopefully be more tolerable than a photograph), since there's no one exactly available to model.

So, any ideas? As soon as possible, please? I just can't decide.

(Oh, &: Etsy sale, pass it on.)
