Something a little different for this post! Way back when I made this account I was posting updates on my senior project for school, but I realized that I never shared the actual final piece here! I feel like I don't want to leave things on a cliffhanger even if I'm sharing this mostly for myself like 4 years later haha. Wish I had more pictures up close but I'd have to dig them up from old flash drives or something probably...
Here's another pic just for scale reference! Think the house was about 4 feet tall ish or so?
A big part of why I went through with a project so different from my usual comfort of drawing was that I didn't know when I'd ever be able to do something like this again--let alone have a space where I could show it. It was very stressful at times at the end--trying to get everything together and essentially not knowing whether it would actually look any good until it went up not long before the show.
Despite that, it was still a fun project and I'd love to do something big like this again if I had the chance!! No idea when that would be able to happen though given life, so for now I'm just glad it could happen once :) but who knows!
Also posting this as a reminder to myself that in the limited times I've dabbled in more sculptural stuff I have really enjoyed it for the most part! I am by no means an expert and it's not polished work, but it can be a fun challenge! Past me was in some regards more willing to take artistic risks and get excited with projects like this, so I feel like I could always use more reminders of that :)
Anyways oh heck if you read this far thanks for checking this out! That's all for now!
My cardboard/paper mache turtle that I'm making for my aunt Amy's smoothie shop. It's not done yet I still have to do a lot more details to it but it looks amazing so far
This version of the pirate treasure map masquerade mask is bejeweled with natural amethyst,cultured freshwater pearls and sparkling crystals. (It was designed so that it could be worn with an extravagently feathered tricorn hat)
"Aw gee, what a beautiful Castle, da detailing on the buttresses, phenomenal. Now, sir, I don't mean tuh be rude, but this certificate says you've been dead since 1896 - A pretty extreme clerical error, wouldn't you agree? Oh, is my breath makin' you uncomfortable, sir? It's this terrific Linguine my wife makes - Extra Garlic."
This year for a Hallowe'en party I went as 'Vampire Hunter C', complete with a bloody, supernatural trophy from his latest HUNT (Which will air next week on NBC circa 1976, 90 minutes with ads, Jack Cassidy guest stars as 'Baron Von Sanguine')
