Wookie 2012

Talking about being influenced by where I live and the day-to-day of what I see and do, it only seemed right to theme at least a piece on the Olympics. Wookie2012.

The day to day, today.

I like the fact that im posting more frequently, it only means I have more work/ideas. Although here its quite small. Like before I posted the WIP of the more sketchy style work, heres some more progress. I decided to take it further with different images, I dont yet have a title but as I produce more im sure something will fall into place. Keep in mind these are WIP.

        

    

The second of the 2 is a lot rougher than the first, needs to be cleaned up a lot more. Although I like the colours used I will also switch it up with something different.

playing around with very simple outlining and block colour

Trophy

Taking a Munny Doll, by Kidrobot, that I had already practiced painting onto I decided to take the practice further (as well as cover up the initial shoddy job). Using acrylic paint, but this time applying it in three thin layers building up the colour seems effective. However you can still see the brush strokes left from the first paint job. I think that using this technique on my other DIY toys will work better giving a smoother finish. This paired with the addition of varnish or spray will work best. I am also going to use spray paint in future for the best finish and applying smaller details in paint/ marker. As for this Munny, for now I actually like the finish, as it looks almost like graphite, as it has texture and almost metallic shine. I may add some white details or pattern to complete it.

New additions

Bub and Kracka from Kidrobot, picked up from KRLDN store. Im looking forward to customizing these, hopefully the  end result will be better than that of the previous DIY Munny's I have made. (Will be reconditioning the old 2 so i can re-do them in the near future). I'll be looking at simple designs, not to complicate the outcome using Acrylic paint and marker. I also have a 7" DIY Munny that I havent touched yet for fear of ruining it, so these will make for good practice, I will also be adding a DIY Dudebox figure to my collection.

seeing as I havent been up alot recently i have been planning my own projects, first is to redesign and think the 'legit.' idea i have had and create a potential line of designs that could later be used for clothing and shirts. The second main idea comes from editing photographs, and removing the eyes of the subjects. i like the effect which is ultimately quite haunting, and so am going to photograph a wider range of people to edit out the eyes later to create digital sketches and even a series of acrylic paintings from the outcomes.

i have also been playing around with my munnys which are still not done, and now that i have a substantial collection and some decent time i can focus and create something good with them. 

fallen off.

havent exactly posted much. turns out school dominates all at this time of year. easter break, then summer. oh, and the end of 6th form. it really has been an interesting time, i met some good people, good friends and one amazing person. its just sad that some things have to end too soon. and thats not a reference about school. the worst part is, i never got that picture to remember.

these have no reference, this is just what im feeling, listen scar tissue
