Thanks all. For my first test project using multiple sections, multiple layers, and ‘hammered’ paint, I’m quite pleased. The biggest takeaway and lesson learned - Start with a nice & clean SVG file if possible. Doing something this large with a PNG and outlining was doable, but a huge amount of extra work, at every stage. Next project I’ll outline, ‘The Turtle’. A variation on this project which was a test of how many separate pieces I could handle (well over 100), as well as a painting and sanding endurance challenge. Stay tuned.
