...Whew talk about whirlwind like the last few weeks. What I failed to mention in my last 2 posts is that on New Years Eve we were headed to a friends place when our beloved "Buggy"s transmission fell apart. Now that its been fixed I can't help but be thankful. All this artwork and other stuff helped some of the time go by and kept me distracted enough so I didn't get stressed out over it. Anyway that aside i give you "Saggy" well to be fair she's not really saggy its just that her real name could be shortened to sound something like that.
...uh huh it was another photo ref one. Some people might argue that its cheating. In my defense i'd say that since I'm the one who took the photo then i have the right to alter the image so long as the people in the pictures don't mind me using their likeness its all good. Of course i'd welcome some comments on this so feel free to click on the comments link below and let me know. Ok thats it for tonight.
...hiya. Work is picking up again and so are the requests for pics. Here are my 3 most recent ones.
...I don't have any nicknames for these guys. For the purpose of dropping a hint i will however call the above guy Kareem Abdul-Jabar and the guy below i'll call Willy Wonka.
...these were both done from photo refs. Seems that they turn out a little closer to the actual persons likeness. Compare them to this next one. I did without a photo reference.
...stuff like eye, hair and nose details are most noticeable. but after poor "El Marr" i've decided to stick with a solid skin tone. I do however like the way i've rendered hair and wardrobe. It helps to make use of plenty of layers. By the way her nickname is Souixie. More to come perhaps tommorow.
...so like happy New Year y'all. Oh man my keyboard is starting to scare me. It looks like it could use a hot soapy bath. Of course i'm not shure it will work afterward so i'm afraid to try. In other news we made 2 gingerbread houses. The first one was a kit that the girls helped decorate.
...The second one I made from scratch. I used a 3 by 5 index card as a template and cut 4 identical panels. The front and back panel i still used the 3 by 5 card but cut the rooflines by hand. It turned out like this.
...i guess next time i'll make the roof panels slightly larger than the walls. That way i can avoid having to go all Mike Holmes on it.
