PokemanDan - Custom Hand-Painted Playmats

The playmats look very nice and the artwork put into it is amazing. I really do like that you used both acrylic and colored pencils, it makes the overall artwork of the playmat look neat.
 
Thank you for all your comments, they are very much appreciated!

I have just uploaded 2 new mats to the front post, check them out :)

And I get the paint to stay because it stains the mat and I spray an acryllic varnish on top to stop it fading for longer.

Thanks!
 
Oh the Luxray one looks very nice. I like the expression alot.

What paint do u use? I made one with acrylic awhile back, but it kinda stiffens the mat up.

I usually use some sort of permanent markers but those leak over time.

but your luxray one looks quite crisp. lol
 
Thanks :)

I use just normal acryllics, there pretty cheap ones (less than $2 each) from a local store near me in the UK. I find that it stiffens it up when you use too much on the surface. I have put three layers on before on the combee's yellow and its still holding up well :)

Yeah permanent markers work but fade over use.
 
oh i see. I guess there pros and cons to what u use. I'm trying to find the best cheapest way to make as playmat.

I find that permanent markers come out the best quality in the beginning until they begin to fade and leak. and there also quite pricey and time consuming.

but paint is cheaper and last a lot longer with less leakage, but causes stiffness.

well anyways, I look forward to seeing more of your playmats! I really like seeing oc's :)

Edit: I mean Original poses, not ocs XP
 
Yeah I sell them via my website which you can find out about on my YouTube channel. (Don't think direct linking is allowed :p)

The Luxray and SSB mat were both sold to people wanting them.

@InfinityFangX: Yeah, go for it and try it out. Blank mats are really cheap to get when you don't have to ship them over to the UK :p It's really fun to do and you get a unique playmat too!
 
That Super Smash Bros. Brawl playmat looks pretty cool, but that Luxray mat looks incredible! I would love to buy/trade for it if it's available.:)
But reading the what it said about the mat it's not Dx. Keep up the good work anyway.... :/
