Spectrum

Just finished printing out images and getting everything ready to send out for the Spectrum book competition. I've been reading them for years and finally feel like I have something decent enough to try and send in. Here's hoping I have some kind of slight chance of getting one of my guys in. That would be so awesome.

The two guys that I have been working on are coming along. Painting should be finished soon and then its on to making clothes. Painting should be done by mid next week at the latest. Every time I get to the painting stage I think to myself "Theres gotta be something better to use than oils. They take so long." And every time I pull out some acrylics or my airbrush and give them another try. Then I remember why I use oils. They might take longer, especially waiting for the thin layers to dry, but the way they feel and the way they come out looking makes it worth it. I figure I'd rather spend more time and make something the best I can than to do it quicker and have it not look as good.

Didn't get much of anything done over the whole Christmas/New Years time, but I seem to have gotten back on track. Spent all day sewing and the two guys I've been working on are all skinned up now and ready to start painting.

I've started working on two more guys recently. One face has already been molded, the other is about to be. I'm in the process of making the hands and feet right now and then its on to making the bodies.

Hairy

I just finished up this guy last night. He came out looking pretty funny, which was a nice surprise.



He is available here.

More pictures after the cut.

It looks like John over at DDR Projects Gallery put the rest of my guys for sale up on their webstore. You can check them out here.

I've started working on a new guy recently also. I'm about to start sculpting the hands right now. Here's the head before I molded it up and cast it in resin.

The Sleepytime Gang.

I finished up the commission that I have been working on for a good while yesterday. I'm excited to start something new. I've had an idea that I wanted to try out that Im going to play around with for my next guy.

I've been working on a commission over the past few weeks that I'm about to start making the clothes for. I finished up painting over the weekend and am shooting for having the clothes done by the middle of next week at the latest.
