Wintersday Workshop

Oooops =D
I'm still thinking of a good topic.
Something with small human children having a snowball fight with small charr children. Well before the Searing and their time of conflict.
Opinions on my idea?

Luckily I know what I want to do for wintersday. I just don't think I'll actually start working on it til a month later :P. I'll keep it a secret for now, but I promise you, it'll be lulzy.

lol. stop trolling people and work some *cracks whip*
'cleaned up' my charr camp, as it was in sore need of attention. I'll probably stick to these sketchy lines and then paint under and over them as I go along

Looking great Morag. I agree that you should keep these sketchy lines, as it looks unique. Thought maybe the left under char needs some more attention as I don't understand where its looking at. But maybe that will come along with the colouring, shades could make it clear.
Yasmine
For some strange reason I can't stop thinking both sides have brought reinforcement and will attack during the night... Sorry Morag, I'm paranoid XD

My motivation seems to have run away. If anyone sees it, please send it back.
Actually I think it's the mini moa chicks fault. The fabric I was using for the larger chicks legs/beaks isn't lending itself well to smaller versions and is frustrating me into inactivity. I cant find anything similarly colored that would be easier to work with. 3 stores and the only thing remotely the same color is broadcloth which just is not right for this.

Verene
Have you tried looking online for anything similar?
(even though that won't really let you see how the texture feels or anything like that...)
Broadcloth, yeah, ick. That's no good for something like this...I've only ever used felt or fleece for my plushies. What material did you use for the larger ones?

KiyaKoreena
It was a sweatshirt fabric that isn't in stock any more. Wish I bought more of it :-( I havent found anything online that looks like what I want. But Im sure there are more sites to search still.
Verene
Kiya - http://www.voguefabricsstore.com/sto...log/index.html Check that site. The actual store itself is in downtown Chicago (it's about a half hour drive from my house), and it's like a freaking warehouse. I've a feeling that that's the best place to look for what you need, because the randomly rare things we've found there for really cheap is just ridiculous (and awesome).
Hell, it's close enough that I could drive over one weekend and check out/pick up stuff for you, if you needed it.

So I was thinking about making some wintersday ornaments out of fimo clay. Grenth, Dwayna, grentchies, freezie, and possibly some others. I'm not sure though, been a while since I played with fimo clay. Should be interesting to get back into it.
Morag D
I has art bug
mood colours. I want them to be cold and hard, this is winter in the trenches of ascalon, nothing cosy about that...
oh yeah, and I decided it depicts a random group of soldiers led by Sergeant Brannen meeting a random group of charr. ordinary folk, really.
Kiya: hope you get out of your motivation block, it would be awesome to have you participate again! good luck with that fabric search
Princess: modelling is always fun! I'd love to see some deco stuff

I'm ignoring the moas and actually have gotten something done today. Yay! Complaining fixes everything! Well, at least some things. Ive gotten the lower body of the naga put together and am starting on the head, shoulders, and arms now. I might actually get this one done by late tonight if I didnt just jinx myself.
Shewmake
@Morag: I love the colors you chose!
@Kiya: A naga plushie sounds awesome! Can't wait to see the finished thing.

@ Morag: Very, very nice colours! It really looks like a harsh winter. Can't wait to see more.
@ Kiya: Yeah, finding good fabric colours is a pain sometimes. To keep up creativity, it's better to just put the offending project aside and work on something else for a while, like you did. You can always get back to the moas later.
@ Princess Blades: Ornaments sound fun!

@ Morag, that looks superb! I love the feeling it gives. It reminds me of that story during WWI when the British and German soldiers stopped fighting on Christmas and spent the day celebrating together in no-mans land.
@Kiya I'm really looking forward to what you come up with, it sounds like its gonig to be very impressive.

Small WIP update. I havn't had a chance to do much though. Added a moon, and I sort of cleaned up my characters and worked in a lot of the details for my Dervish. Though I admit, this look more like a Halloween entry with my headless Ele there! o.0
Once I start making the forest and have the main tree in place, I'm hoping that I'll be able to hide a lot of the errors and stuff that come with this being such a new thing for me by uping the contrast as per the lighting conditions.

Great work so far from everybody! And looks like Morag's a definite candidate for the Wintersday Spirit award already (btw Tzu, did you remember to add my 25k from the last workshop to that award?)
I guess I will have to set aside the Doppelganger picture (much as I want to get it done) for a while so I can work on this, especially since my mom just told me she wants me to do a frikkin pen-and-ink (I HATE INK) portrait of my grandparents for Christmas and that is going to take FOREVER.
Oh (small derailment alert, I'm afraid), has anyone else been having problems with DeviantART? I was going on this morning to check my messages (and perhaps post up all those pictures before I embark on this new one) but although I have 5 new messages when I go to my inbox the page is blank - everything is there but there isn't even a 0 messages sign. And I can't post a journal to ask for help and I can't look at anyone's deviations. (and I don't know where the help page is)

Morag-IMO it shows how in WWII Soldiers got out of the trenches and played football, Americans, Germans, Italians, Austrians, Canadians, British and more!
KiyaKoreena
Please forgive the angle and photo quality.
Still need to do its outfit, and might add an extension to the tail, the upper body ended up a little larger then planned so the tail is too short now. Im going to pinch down the shoulders a bit to compensate which will get disguised under the scarf.

What keeps it in vertical position? O_O
KiyaKoreena
Wire frame in the lower half. Its a bit of a balancing act, especially the more details go onto it. Remembered to turn on the flash this time.
BladeWind
KiyaKoreena, that is rather cool.
What be the Naga's name? :O
(Also you need to pick up your prize at some point)

How are everyone's entries coming along? (a bump in disguise-- this thread needs some activity!)

I'm still idea-pondering, myself! Been a bit busy between work and school stuff, as well as my commissions. I've got some ideas I want to try sketching out, though. So we'll see.
KiyaKoreena
Haven't gotten much done. I fixed my white moa chick's eyes and started some ornament attempts. I'll be lumping my current status and progress shots on http://wintersday2009.kirins.net
