Nearly done!

The Toad Kingdom needs you

A hideous moment of procrastination that actually turned into something for the project I was trying to avoid doing. If I think of the cosmic ramifications, my brain dies a little.

Puppet Project Progress

My half of a joint puppet project, work in progress

First sculpt of the head

Painting in progress:

Painting complete:

Costume elements:

That's it so far. The puppets are air-dried clay, painted with acrylic, with wire connectors (not yet added), and felt clothing with some form of spangly netting for glittery effect.

Hybrids

More ideas through design things. Possibly the GREATEST PROJECT EVER. Hybridising animals and modes of transport is more fun than anyone has the right to have in an educational environment. Go on. Try it. I dare you.

The reason I haven't blogged...

Is horrific typography, and my horrific failures at 3D typography. Grr. The big 'D' took five hours to make, which is frankly ridiculous and part of why I stick to 2D illustrations, and the 'Y' took two hours, and twelve hours later is still drying.

Beginning to obsess

 

 about Manet

but how to reconcile this with my ink obsession? I feel I need to work in colour more frequently.
