A badge for
weaselman1 of his character Wes in Tron Legacy style.
I also designed this one to be blacklight reactive, including blue blacklight reactive paints. Thus the comparison of images, the one on the left is the scan, and the one on the right is the photo under blacklight. Its a bit blurry but it shows the glow really well.
Done with ink, markers, and blacklight reactive paints on bristol board, mounted onto colored paper.

the light blue paint on the image on the left is the blacklight reactive paint. The bristol that I work on for badges is also naturally blacklight reactive, which is neat, so the character, since he is white, also glows pretty well. The blacklight reactive paint glows slightly brighter than the paper itself.
I haven't yet decided on a price for a blacklight cutout badge, since this was my first, I needed to see how long it takes compared to the normal ones. It will probably be a little more than the regular ones (which are $60) because it takes more time and planning.
The colors I've got are (all fluorescent) blue, yellow, orange, pink and a sort of reddish which looks similar to the orange.
The paper itself glows blue, but it can be augmented with the paints or the markers.

You should try it! Its fun!
I bought some blacklight reactive paints, and I already had a blacklight, so I did some tests, and found out that the bristol board I use is blacklight reactive naturally - and that copic markers complement it, with the addition of the blacklight reactive paints.
Also I've discovered that colored pencils, gel pen, and regular acrylics show up very dark under blacklight, and should not be used for this purpose (except to make shadowed areas)
I worked on this under my normal daylight lamp, and periodically shut it off and turned on the blacklight to check how it looked, and progressed accordingly so I was happy with it under both lighting conditions...

Awww, it's awesome!!! I like mustelids, I like Tron (but my choice is the first one :3) and your art, and looking at the drawing of mustelid in your gallery is a real pleasure.
Very beautiful artwork with weasel, not so many artists are drawing them right. :( You did good job. Actually, I want to draw something with glowing paints too, but don't know where to buy them. :(
