+1 goblin, -4 wisdom teeth


I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday so this one's gonna be quick. Fraznak the Furious, 12 x 16 in., oil on masonite.

Back to the couch and the extended-edition Lord of the Rings trilogy :)

*I've been messing with how to keep Blogger from resizing/degrading my files. So far the best thing I've found is uploading them as .pngs. I'm curious if anyone has any other suggestions.

  3. OUCH! Although, I would give anything to get mine pulled right now. All the years of braces went out the window when these suckers started coming in. Now my teeth are all jacked! But what better medicine than LOTR?! Ha ha. Happy healing Chris!

  6. Thanks guys! Yeah, this dude was a lot of fun even though the underwater thing was an interesting challenge.

    I've been pretty lucky with the missing chompers, nothing a little hydrocodone won't squash.

    Ray - Good to know it's working for someone else. The colors seem a little more off than with jpgs but it seems like it's worth it for the sharpness.

  10. Damn, look at this guy! Sweet piece, man. As expected ;)

    Good luck with the teeth, man. I had all 4 of mine removed at once when I was 19. Not a fun time.
