It's a boy!

A new picture, as promised! I had my roommate help me take pictures, and here's my favorite of the bunch.This picture is a wee bit modified. I had to edit out the tips of tree branches and the roof of my apartment building. The stork originally had a long sturdy wire coming out of his belly, so he was kind of like a puppet. I built the wire in so I would be able to hold him up to the sky. You can still see the tip of the wire on his belly in this picture.

This illustration is going to be for my grad portfolio class. I'm focusing on doing a series of greeting cards that would be geared towards or about kids. This card, which I'm sure you can probably tell, is going to be a birth announcement card. I'm debating on whether or not I should do two versions. One for girls and one for boys. Any thoughts?

And your little dog too!

Here's he the latest on Toto and Dorothy. I'll be posting pictures from a new project either tomorrow or Saturday, stay tuned!

In the Beginning...

Well, as you can see, I've decided to give this blogging thingamajig a try. I've made it through two weeks of school already, and I'm enjoying all my projects.

Not too much to talk about as of yet, so I'll leave you all with a picture.

Our first assignment in Computer Illustration is to design a character from either The Wizard of Oz, Robin Hood, or Alice in Wonderland. Obviously I just The Wizard of Oz, focusing on Toto. I made a quick sculpture of Toto and Dorothy's legs, then baked both. The road is just unbaked sculpey. (Which worked out better than I thought, since it's unbaked it still has a little bit of shine to it.) Took all the pieces outside and took pictures, getting mud all over my jeans. And there you have it! Will post in progress shots at a later date.
