Wall-e and Eve

My latest cake topper, of Wall-e and Eve from Wall-e. I love that film, it's adorable! I got this commission from Etsy Alchemy and I really enjoyed doing it!
I think at some point in the future, I'm going to persue this cake topper business. This one is for a wedding, and I figure getting married is probably never going to go out of fashion, so I might as well offer my services on the market. Once I've done a few more, I'll start another website and start advertising in bridal shops. Hopefully it should take off! :D

Cardcaptor Sakura Mini Figure

Just a little something I've been working on. Honestly I actually made this out of spite! A girl was offering a job on the Deviant Art job board to make 6 Monopoly counters in the shape of anime girls. She seemed keen for me to do it, then didn't answer any of my messages, and eventually told me she'd found someone to do it cheaper. Cheaper than $10 a figurine! Also because there was nothing exactly like what she wanted on my gallery, she thought I couldn't do it. As I'd been looking forward to doing it despite cutting my prices for her, I was understandably pissed off by this and decided I would make one myself. Although I would never sell this for $10. Never get work of Deviant Art, kids.

It's not perfect in any way, I rather thing the face let it down but it's all good practice!




I sculpted the face with the help of a real gachapon.








The finished item! Not as happy as with it as I'd hoped but oh well!

Happy Valentines Day!

Behold Keifer in all his hearty-pants glory!

Peripeteia Character Sketches

I'm glad I've finally been able to get started on the real comic! I finished the thumbnailing tonight, so I thought I'd design most of the characters. Some of them are based on my real friends, and the unsavoury looking guy with the earring is based on a picture of an arsonist I found in the paper. Woo!

Cake Topper Commission

Honestly, if I could have spent more time on these, I would have. I basically got this commission on Tuesday and have just finished it in time for the guy to pick them up. I a) would have like to have made them better and b) have made an informed decision to switch to Sculpey in future, as Fimo tends to buckle under its own weight and warps on the oven if it's a bigger than normal piece.
But for my first cake toppers I guess they're ok. I'll keep practicing! ;)

Peripeteia

Hello everyone!
I really need to remember to post on this new blog, and get myself out of the Livejournal way of thinking.
I've recently booked a table at the Bristol Comics Convention and have finally once and for all to ressurect the only decent idea I've ever had with regards to writing, and finish it. This time I'm doing it properly. My comics were always done with very little planning and although it made for an organic process, I usually ended up giving up on them or making mistakes in the final pages. So I've been spending any spare time I have roughing thumbnails. Here's a couple of pages of spazzy drawing, I know it's not obvious what's going on as I haven't added dialogue (That usually is the only thing I write as I go, I'm just putting symbols in the speech bubbles now to remind meof what I want the characters to be saying) and the drawings are crap, but I'll keep updating as I go and hopefully soon you should see something half decent.







































In other news, I'm continuing to build my unholy army of blue things, another project for the Bristol Con 2010. I want to fill my table with these guys!

My First Real Set Building Job!

I thought I would start off my new blog with the first proper bit of set building work I was able to get, late last year. I did lots of little jobs on it like gluing the lenses into 100 sets of 3D glasses, casting most of the windows on the outside view and whatnot. So here it is! Enjoy!
