Welcome to Oceania Finished (pretty much)




Well it certainly took long enough and boy did I learn my lesson about working this big. Nothing over 3 feet on the longest edge for me for a long time. I think it has been roughly 6 or 7 months spent on this piece.

It could still use a few little tweaks and finishing touches, but essentially completed.

Welcome to Oceania Update


For the last three weeks this have been up to.

Here is a list of what is left to do:
-static & transmission lines to foreground telepost telescreen of Big Brother's face
-stains and maybe a couple of tears/holes to VM red banners
-glass reflections (VM windows, helicopter, & telepost)
-towering smoke clouds from bombs and fires in the distance
-utility lines (power, telephone/telescreen, etc)
-willow herb and vegetation growing over rubble to show length of war & state of disrepair
-feral creatures: birds (pigeons & crows) on powerlines, cat, dog
-little eddies of wind swirling up dust & lose trash (propaganda poster scraps/leaves/etc.)

This should be done in the next three or so days that I have to paint.

Also! evanwoolery.com is up and has been for the last two months. So check it out:
