I thought I saw your face today

June 24th, 2009

Been a long while since I made an anime style head. You kinda forget how much more work it is painting those big shiny eyes. *lol* Here’s Safira, a NDR elf head freshly upped on ebay:

Her outfit will be completed for another project. Am in the process of figuring out some armor to go over that…

Here’s another recent paint…”Willow”, a Obitsu #3 head:

I sewed the peasant shirt following a tutorial for people sized clothing. It was meant for a much slimmer 1/6th Obitsu body but turned out too large. Goes to show that dividing human sizing by 6 doesn’t always work. ^^;

And finally, today’s title snatched from…

Liquitex demo

March 29th, 2009

Recently I had the opportunity to attend a demonstration/lecture of Liquitex acrylic products. Topics covered included paints, mixing, mediums, gels and varnishes. While the lecturer demonstrated the products in action, samples artwork made with different mediums were passed around the room so we could see upclose the finished results. I came away with more knowledge of their paint mediums and a very generous gift pack: brochures, full colour catalog, a 100+ page comprehensive guide to acrylics and a few samples in retail size bottles (wheee!). The print material are also available on Liquitex’s website in PDF format.

Some notes…in case anyone else finds this useful.. ;)

Wisteria

February 23rd, 2009

Because ebay is being a tard and my listing is not showing up at all in either category nor search, here is my newest gal up on the block:

Wisteria

I painted her for practice really, so it would be splendid if someone could give her a new home. ^_^; Have some more to write about but it’s late and it’s back to the grind tomorrow. *siiigh*
