#I originally finished Pantera's a couple months ago but kept getting distracted when trying to start Leun's

Finally had a chance to finish detailing the frames for these two @sanctus-ingenium prints I got a while ago!! (breakdown of the process under cut)

The original frames were just a flat, plain black and white. So the first step was spray painting them neutral gray primer, then with a black, faux "hammered" paint. Once that was dry, it was doing the subtle, gray fillegree/detailing on the front and sides with acrylic paint (freehanding it initially for the Pantera-themed frame, then getting smart about it and making stencils for Leun's (it went much faster)). Next was cutting out the cardstock, coloring them with alcohol markers, and detailing with microns and white ink. Trying to mimic the headpieces of each Holy Beast for the tops of the frames with some reference to their element in the side bits. Flowing acid for Leun and a smoke for Pantera's flames (which I think could have been pushed a litle more and I may redo one day). Each part is typically a double layer of cardstock for a smidge of depth, but Leun's headpiece ended up being three. Then it was just using double sided tape to attach big pieces, and gluing all the smaller, fiddly-bits. Overall, I like how they turned out. Still might redo Pantera's to up the color's contrast to better match Leun's.
