Viking throne WIP 01

some viking throne I'm making for no particular reason!

Dragon restoration

this old, broken dragon puppet was sent to my boyfriend in the mail from his parents (first two photos are pretty much what i started with). I did a bunch of sculpting on the face, adding an entire lower jaw. also added a fabric tail and painted it, pretty much generally pimped it out, though its now just a static figure. last two are the finished critter!

im pretty sure the original sculpt and puppet are from this dude

Lil Slugger

Heres the progression. The original was a doodle in my moleskine. For the final design I pretty much ditched the entire feel for something more gross and sluglike and less baseball player just because it was more fun. I went overboard with painting practice and decided to finish it up as a simple little card to showcase it.

Flowers are always a good excuse to practice painting

Little Red WIP 01

my second attempt at goache ever. It's also ashamedly my first full traditional painting in a long time. Not sure if doing an entire huge piece was a great idea, but it is forcing me to get used to the media. I've been overworking the paint, but its a good learning process.

Christmas 2013

Christmas ornaments! The old man head is from 2012, finished in 2013 (still counts for the 2012 ornament, though). The fetus blob is for 2013. My boyfriend, Matt, sculpted them, I painted them. A new tradition, I look forward to having a tree full of these.
