Knocked out another one today. After that gobbler, I needed a few days off. My friend really liked it and I told him I was going to do a head shot of a springer spaniel, a dog of which I used to own and hunt with. Pretty good bait. He has a german shorthair so now he wants me to find a pattern for his dog.
This bull was one of the easier ones I've done recently, except the letters were a bit tricky. It's a little more important to stay on the lines, especially when you have a couple of the same letter. If one is thinner than the other, it's noticeable. It's kinda funny that after I take a picture is when I notice a couple mistakes that I didn't see before. Back to the saw or files.
I have a buddy who sells angus bulls and he is always trying to find ideas for gifts for some of his customers every Christmas. He usually gets knives engraved but good quality sport knives are tough to find these days at a reasonable price. Last year I etched 15 thermos jugs for him and when he gets this portrait as a gift from me maybe he'll buy a few more for gifts for his customers. Then I would try stacking.
