The same issues seem to be true for this fish - just different colors of ink. The layers of overlapping colors seemed to get darker inbetween the scales and fins, but the areas of rework lightened up with each new application of ink.
The fish, itself, almost look like it has been tyedyed - a throwback to the 60's/70's. I also tried adding the metallic gel inks to the surface, however....
.....also with less than desirable results. The layer upon layer of ink underneath resulted in such a wide range of mottled and varigated colors, that the overall effect was visually appealing. The addition of one color of ink over the surface took away the beauty of the variety and made the fish look very 2-dimensional and static.
Even though the silver gel ink picked up the red pigments from the ink below, there is so little of the ink revealed from underneath, that the best of the fish islost.
The image of the fish just with all of the ink layers, prior to the addition of the metallic silver, is the best of these fish images.....the perfect example of....
....the importance of knowing when to STOP!!!!!
