Halloween Workshop [>2000k prize pot]

Yep I've been thinking about the lighting thing since it was mentioned earlier. That will be part of the final touches rush next week. I've got the feeling I will be cutting it REALLY close to the deadline this time.

My left wrist has been acting up again and I've got the annoying support wrap on again. Argh! Made the necklace and the horns/teeth for in his belt yesterday; working on the gloves right now. I'm a bit frustrated at the things that aren't quite working how I want it for one reason or another and the growing need to cut corners on some things. (Curse you budget restraints and lack of supplies!) Returned the dark blue cheesecloth and the store doesn't have any more. They even called neighboring stores and the only one that had one left opened it and said it was that weird blue too. My sis-in-law is flying down to visit tomorrow so she is checking some stores there tonight. *cross fingers* If she doesn't find anything I might be a bit hooped for how I wanted to do the cape. You know, looking back at my nitpicking and spazzing over things I think I've figured out where my daughter gets her perfectionist tendencies from.

Hey guys. I know I haven't been very active here, but I can say that I'll have WIP pictures to post of the Charr Effigy tonight for you all

once my replacement digital camera charger comes I'll try to get some progress pics up.

Alright so here is tonight's progress.

I tweaked the glow of the flame and related things, and also added to the cape a bit.

Okee dokey

I've got a few WIP images here of the Armature and the fingers and toes that I've got done.




So this is the armature. It's the skeleton that's going to keep the rest of the thing up. The sticks that are there don't need to fit into the middle of each part, so that gives me some proportion wiggle room.

It's made of found pieces of manzenita, one of the hardest (and hardest to work with!) woods out there.



Here are the framework for the fingers and toes. That should give you more of an idea of the aesthetic I'm going for with the end product. Also, as you can see, I'm rolling in bank.



This red-line kinda shows how the body will end up fitting over the skeleton. The waist isn't going to be waaaay up there where the legs come together. xD

Rawr...Finally got round to start working on a picture

The basic idea of the picture will be something to do with a Necromancer using that wooden thingy used to control marionette puppets to control a minion or two. The strings might be kind of ghostly and twist around the minions...still trying to figure out exactly what i want to do though =)

Here's a small 15min wip perspective is still a little off i'll fix that in the next wip(background, floor and pretty much everything in that image will most likely still change a few times):
