Jack Skellington

This lady loved the Nightmare arm piece I'm working on, and wanted to get a big Jack flesh rip. How cool is that? We were going to add a ton more gore, but she decided against it at the last minute.

This was done with a 7 round liner and an 11 mag.

It's amazing to me the difference between 9 mag and a 11 mag. I'm used to a 9, so you'd think adding 2 tiny needles would add just a bit of extra. You know, nothing substantial. But I find myself not as confident with the lay of the needles. Instead of trusting where the underneath will go (not the top of the needles which I can see, rather the bottom row - the one hidden by the tube), I error on the side of not going over the lines. Which means a tiny line of space is left open between the fill and the outline. Which means... more time filling in.

I love how a bigger mag (and an 11 is not even that big) lets me brush out a smooth fade, but, when constricted I need to get used to it so I can keep aiming for efficiency.
