I know, it's been forever!  So I figured I'd better do something about it before another day slipped by.
Also, I need to get caught up with some phone calls and correspondence with a few of you.  I think I've lost a few emails along the way, even, so you may have to rattle my cage.  I'm around, I promise!  And been busy to boot.
 I think I've finished 4 or 5 kits I need to add to the gallery, really getting behind there too.  I'll try to at least put some up here for now.

One is the Coop Devil Girl



Pillow did not turn out as cool as I thought, but I guess it works.  Threw in a button to help open up some display options. And make it blog safe, I suppose.  As safe as it can get, haha.   It's gingerly attached to another piercing beneath.  Button is for Mid Iowa Rollers, with a logo designed by a friend.

I really hated letting this Joker go, but I'm anxious for it to get to its home.  (really sucks it didn't get there Friday, grrrrrrrr)

Had a hell of a time with these pictures, I'll get some better and color corrected ones eventually, promise.




I used to watch this show when I was growing up, I have to say I liked Bewitched better.  Anyone have the 411 on this kit?  Its a good likeness, but the casting took me a little while to clean up.  Need to have it nice and smooth to make it look good. 




Modified the rug a bit, this is how it comes:



Now, look, it totally flies...







And finally, fetus don't fail me now!

  

Actually added this to the gallery on the website as well, so visit there for more if you like.

This link will take you directly to the gallery

Tried to capture the look of the famous poster , but it's kind of difficult to get a loose watercolor look to a 3d statue.  And how far to go before it just looks like a sloppy paint job?  Hopefully I found a good in-between, and you all like it.



Some more updates:



Just need to get the vest and we can get the Joker dressed.  Need to convince the company that this is for a bust and they don't need a waist or chest measurement.  I could give them mine though, because... oh no of course not,  I would never...




Speaking of, have you seen this?

Happy New Year everyone.  I started to slack again, so the next few updates will be of things almost finished.  Been busy the last few weeks, and have a lot of things near completion but with some lingering elements.

Devil's Delight is painted, except for some gloss, and I got her parts pierced.



Oh yeah, and the tattoo on her ass. (might need some touching up)




So I thought It would be a good idea to give her a pillow to rest her behind on.  Thanks to an excellent suggestion, I acquired one of perfect size from the craft store.  Its one of those ring-pillows for weddings.  I cut open the side and removed most of the stuffing so she sits realistically on it.

(Psst, hey D, you want those fringe thingies left on the corners?)



But it would be REALLY cool if it was a leopard print, right?  Well this one is a little off white, so I started painting in the pattern.



So just this far in I realized how forever this is going to take.  And you may ask, "Hey, why didn't you just buy some leopard pattern, and make a freaking pillow?  Idiot."
And you would have a good point. Jerk. 
I suppose I could have talked someone into making one for me, or pay someone, but I'm going to try something a little different. And probably equally as stupid, pointless, and time consuming.  Or it will be the coolest pillow ever!  Or meh.

  

Winter and all of its wonderfulness is upon us.  Hope you all are enjoying or celebrating it as you see fit.  I'm going to enjoy some extra time to play with this pile of Frankenstein kits I have in front of me as well as a bunch of other projects.  Still working on dying some hair for ol' Heath up there... guess it wasnt as easy as just soaking some hair in some bleach. But after more effort than I had anticipated, having those teeth in there makes it worth the trouble.  Well, at least I think it looks cool! =)  Need to smear up his make up a bit, and fix around his eyes, including adding some lashes.
Pierced the Devil Girl's naughty bits, and getting ready to prime up all these parts in the picture below,  along with a Jack Davis Frankenstein, it'll be time to settle in, watch it snow, and relax with some painting. 

  

He will be albe to speak better with these:

  

Making some progress on this life size bust.

This time I decided to put his eyes in right away, usually I wait until I'm finished.  I think I may do it this way from now on.




Just need to mask them for painting,  he looks all possessed too, haha.

And yes, I painted all his skin, even though 90% of it will be covered by makeup.  Even doing some discoloring by his wounds, in case some of that will show through.  Blocking in the hair, but I'm going to try something with that as well.  Bought me a bag of human hair (NO, not in a back alley!) and some green dye.  We'll see if I can augment the sculpted hair with some real stuff, without it looking like a cat walked by it while the paint was wet.
And to the astute, I'm adding one other thing as well. You may be able to pick up on it with one of these pics.  Si?  Can you guess?

  

While I'm buried in our first snow storm of the year (about 10 inches so far) I thought I'd update with what's going on.

Got a few things finished, and as always many more going.  I'll have to update the site with more pictures, but for now I gotta keep building!

Finished up:





Whats up:

Rather unique way to key a kit.












And yeah, just to make it creepy aparantly he has a hair growing out of the back of his neck too. Seriosuly.

  

Couple more videos... the second one is really long, lol!  I probably should edit these.
Maybe I'll make some nice ones out of these, and put them on the site somewhere as I run out of space here.  It limited, so I'm wondering if old videos will disappear or if I will have to delete them.  We'll see I guess. =)

  

    Here is some video I shot while I was working on this last night.  I had just about given up on the webcam, disappointed in the quality.  I thought I might as well use either of the other cameras I have which shoot video, but then I have to get out the tri-pod, try to position it... but the webcam is so small and fits on a little wooden block I can set up perfectly.  Plus I paid for the thing, I'm going to use it!

For now its just raw video, in the future I might or should edit or at least trim them.  Probably not, I'm lazy.  But upping these one at a time is a little time consuming too.
For now you can skip or jump around as you like.  Probably just boring.  Sorry, trying to keep some content going.  Let me know if these are just stupid and I should stick with pictures.

First up some airbrushing.  I shot a couple more, as I sprayed some highlights and other colors, but nothing really shows up for that.  But this one you can kind of see.





I know, *YAWN*, but it gets even more exciting.  Here you can make fun of my crappy brushes (I totally need some new ones, but junk ones work ok for scrubbing like this), or how weird I paint, or my dirty fingernails.
But here I've mixed up some thin yellow oil, and applying it to some areas.




Shoot, I think I encoded that one with a lower quality.
Some light red...




How about some green....




Thats it for now, I'll add some more tonight or tomorrow as I progress.

  

This should be a little better.
