In the Shop: First eye complete :D
8 years ago
Scared, they know what will happen when Frankenstein gets 'em.
My first human scale eye is complete and clear coated, looking so awesome! I completed my second one today, with the clear coating tomorrow. Also I'm working on a larger creature set for my display creature :D, going to look pretty awesome :D.
Among other things, I'm working on costume design. Believe it or not I do sew, though it's kind of iffy at time, but it works for what I'm creating. So I'm designing a costume for my display bust as well. Tonight I'll most likely be sculpting as I have a ton of classwork to catch up on. It's looking likely that my big final assignment might come out of a hat. So my Thursdays have been canceled and I'm resting wherever now >>. I have to get back on track and get things done.
I have a few things I want to work on, including making a new set of molds of my eye master models. Reason being is that I want to try a different material to cast the blanks from that doesn't cause the mold to swell. Unfortunately any plans of running a pair today was scrapped as I loaned out my mold to help a fellow student along. So my mold has to rest for the time being until the activator has evaporated >.<. Dang, I was wanting some new eye forms too.
Thankfully though my instructor has been so awesome as to help me out. Looks like making eyes might be my niche and I can get good at doing them now :D. Big thing is right now I need to create a matching pair of eyes, which is challenging even for a large set. But I have an ace up my sleeve and have a way to get matching sets :D
My creature puppet is doing well! In fact I fabricated the crank that will go on the side of the Jack In the Box from random scraps. Granted we used foam board for the box itself and it began to crack under the weight (which was ridiculous because the crank barely weighs anything). Being my nerdy self, I created a H-frame inside the box to brace the against the strain of tightening the crank bolt. Now it turns nicely and it doesn't flop like a dead fish :D HURRAY! Also it frees the puppeteer's performance as we originally had a bar going through the box which would have been in the way.
So my inner engineer was kicking butt today :D. I'm so happy :D.
