ERGH! Attachment 405076
So now I am thinking of doing a dark blue/purple wash over it to look like in the deep ocean and hopefully it will cover up the gap. No way I am drawing another one. I should have just used my trusty spray mount. MP is like kids' craft stuff you'd use for stuff at Michaels. 
Also I got the matte finish and it's still kinda shiny. |
I think it really looks cool, I've never had any problems with the paper stretching before, I'm wondering if it's the type of paper you used. I usually wipe away bubbles with brush, you didn't use a foam brush did you, sometimes they can make more bubbles. When mine has been too shiny, I just put water downed Elmer's glue on top. You can also take of shine buy spraying with a water soluble finish that is matte. Experimenting is half the fun!
