Street Fighters 25th Anniversary!

In Celebration of street Fighters 25th Anniversary I will be releasing all my Street Fighter art work everyday for 2 weeks! YAY For Street Fighter!I remember growing up Marvel v.s. Capcom was where I first got introduced to the street fighter characters. Honestly Marvel Vs Capcom was one of my all time favorite games when I was younger! I was addicted ! The carefree times of childhood were the best!

Yes I drew Everything using the best drawing app I have ever found for the Ipad!

Its called sketch club for all you other up and coming artists! It only cost around 3 dollars but it really is worth it! I recorded the whole work in progress with sketch club and edited it with the imovie app. Imovie is actually the best video editing app I have encountered on the Ipad! It almost has all the same features as Windows Movie Maker!

On to another Announcements! I will continue to add new pinata piggy banks to our etsy store! I still have around 10 that need to have their pictures taken ! You can get a sneak peek in the vlog ! =^-^=

Shopping Spree Haul Pics

So today I bought all the boxes and bags for the coins banks! I’m now ready to ship and load them once I make them into the perfect present boxes! I’m going to be making tissue paper bows for the final touch! I should be able to finish 90 present boxes in one day. It’s not very difficult especially since I’m using spray glue! Here are The pics of all the stuff I got today! Wasn’t that much considering I bought so much!

Also I took pictures of how I’m dressing the boxes with tissue paper! I’m really happy with how their coming out! I just need to get some black duck tape and more spray glue.

This Last thing here are stickers I got on Ebay from Hong Kong! I can’t find any small circle stickers
Like these anywhere! The only affordable place was from eBay! I’m still on the look out for some near where I live , but so far I have had no luck.

Finished Doll Head Project Part 1

So I started off attempting to make the doll head with fabric but I decided to change my strategy and use polymer clay instead.

The block I had was a bit hard since its about a month old now.  I ended up having to break it up and roll it out flat to make it a lot easier to mold and shape.

I made a small head shape with clay that never harden called Clay toons , you can find it at any Michaels.It was a practice run and didn’t come out as nice as the final version

One technique that I kept the same from the fabric doll head is how to make the nose.

Making the nose was the funnest part. I made a indentation in the middle of the head and put a pointy ball where I wanted the nose.

Then the fun part was making a thin sheet of clay with my rolling machine and putting it over the face like skin.

I stretched it over the whole face and attached the head to the body I’m working with which I also purchased at Michaels.

The last step was fixing the neck. When I’m done with this I have to work on her legs and arms  then she’ll be all ready for the mold!!

So far so good. I love how her face came out but I still need to do some touch ups. Her head is exaggerated in size because I plan for my characters to be very anime styled.

Even though I didn’t get to finish this one today I did finish making the master for the future key chain molds. When I say master I mean the final sculpture I’ll be using for the mold.

When I first made his key chain character I accidentally used non hardening clay which can’t be used for mold making unless you by casting, and resin. It cost a lot so I
just did another one out of polymer clay because it hardens after baking it and it able to gets made into a mold faster and easier.

He came out really cute!!! For close ups you can see more in my Vlog for today.

Day 22 Piñata Coin Banks Transformed to Drawings

So I just finished another concept design for the new kitty coin banks I’m going to be doing. I know I have a lot of pictures to still upload! I desperately need to invest in a good camera! I wonder how much they cost? I guess until them I’ll just have to use my iPad until then. Here’s the new sketches final pic!

 

 

Preview of our first published book

So yes it finally came in mail. I love the quality! Blurb really is so crazy. I got to say laying out the pages using the templates takes awhile to learn. It took me all day to get the pictures right. I messed up three times before finally getting if perfect.

I can’t wait to share this book with my nephews and nieces. They are growing up so fast! Before I know it their going to be teenagers!
