OT - Weird request for help. Catchers Mitt Required

[chicagoglen]

Sorry for the crazy request all but I am working on another painting and I need some help from anyone with a tan catchers mitt. Here is a painting I am working on. (Still on my quest for a realistic painting)

Does anyone here have a tan catchers mitt?

If you do, would you mind putting it on your left hand and have someone take a picture of your arm in the pose like the painting I am working on?

I know this sounds crazy but I am close to finishing my painting of Fisk but need a better view of the glove.

Here is where I am at with this project.

I'm sure this doesn't help... but maybe.

Thank for trying but I am looking for the right angle. Here is the image I used as a reference but it appears he has the glove in his right hand holding his left hand over the glove.

I want to put the glove on his left hand.

Just not sure how it would look from that angle.

Anybody have a catchers mitt?

If you are embarased to post a picture just email the picture to me at gsurwillo@msn.com


All I need is the arm. (No Faces) Just the glove on the hand like the painting suggests.

Again thanks if someone can help. I wish I did not sell my 2005 Game Used Chris Widger White Sox glove or I would have been set up already!
:)

Thanks,

glen

I think one of the Mods will need to move this to the Fetish section.

Seriously.

Take a picture and email it to me. I want to finish the stupid painting!

Funny but it is for a legitimate reason.

If someone could help me it would be a real help.

Glen -

I would be glad to help, but can't do anything until this weekend at the earliest.

My Heart of the Hide Gold Glove Model Catcher's Mitt should work fine, but right now it's in AZ (a friend was trying to get more autos on it for me) and I'm in CO, but I will be in AZ this weekend for my Annual Spring Training Sabbatical.

If you can wait until then, I will have my wife take the picture, I'll upload it and send it.

All the best -

Smitty

hope this help..

First off, thank you all. I really appreciate the help with an honestly quite goofy request.

xpress34 I can wait.

Thanks for the pictures but I am trying to see a picture on the left hand with the camera angle lower than the elbo. (I paint better from an image)

If you can help it would be appreciated.

I also received some pictures from another member who was nice enough to help but the angle was a little off.

From my perception the picture should be taken from just below the elbow with the glove on the hand pointing down a bit.

ALL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[chicagoglen]

By the way here are some more attempts.

With the help of all who posted or emailed me I was able to work on the glove. Thanks to all who helped to allow me to try some realistic portraits. Still lots to do but here is where I am at today.

WOW!!! GREAT WORK!!! Have you ever tried to do a painting of a stadium?

[Dach0sen0ne]

looks great! :D

[chicagoglen]

I have took a break from the Fisk so I did a little one this weekend. Just thought I would share.

More has been done since this picture was taken but you get the idea.

Glen,

The Fox picture is stunning. You really captured his facial features and I think Kreindler would like it also.

You now need to tackle the ultimate Sox photo...... in color.

[chicagoglen]

You find me a good detailed photo of that and i will jump right on it.:D

No Joke!

[chicagoglen]

Working on another one. Here is where i am at today.
