Chaos theory...

I am currently in the process of moving house, or flat to be more precise, so for now I have had to put several mini projects on hold...

My Fiora Cavazza model was badly damaged in the move, so has been stored away for now, and I sadly missed this weeks Illustration Friday topic of "Carry"...

However!

I do still plan to do my "Carry" image as well as continuing to Friday... just not right now as most of my belongings aren't fully unpacked...

As a final bout of sad news it would appear that Gevaudan may soon be no more... after living in darkness for a full year I don't have space for it in my new flat, so it may have to be put to rest... I plan to take lots of pictures and possibly a video before letting it go.

So for now, enjoy my old post and I will be posting more in the near future!

Lost...

This week on Illustration Friday the theme is "Lost"...

Last week I decided that if I did another Illustration Friday image then I would try to do it with Bison in some way, so here's what I came up with;


As Bison is the only Magical Bison in his herd, this is him lost among his family of regular bison. This image is in Doom, [Bison's home] which roughly resembles parts of America! Some keen readers of my Blog may also recognise the rock formation in the background...


My second image is Bison on the island from the popular [yet horiffically dissapointing] TV series LOST! I used to be an avid viewer of LOST, so I just had to do this image...
 as you can only do one Illustration Friday image per week though this is an added bonus image for anyone who has decided to follow Bison back to my Blog!

Merry Friday!

Firm Fiora...

As some of you may remember I have been on and off making a clay model of a game character called Fiora Cavazza.

This was sort of halted a while back when I found my Sculpey/ my manikin was not strong enough to hold her upright and my hands were erasing details because they can get freakishly warm...

And so, I purchased some Sculpey Firm, and I have to say it is awesome stuff! It is a pleasure to sculpt and once details are on is firm enough to keep them there, even with my radiator hands!

This is what I have so far, there is more to come:


Illustration Friday images in progress, the theme this week is "Lost".
 
Here are some links to previous posts on this model:

Suspend...

One of my friends introduced me to a site called Illustration Friday where every Friday they update the site with a new word or phrase and invite people to illustrate something based on the themed word, this weeks word was "Suspend"...

If you are one of my regular readers, you may recognise the floating furry fellow in this image, if not you may not...


May I introduce, or re-introduce you to the Magical Bison of Doom!

One of Bison's many traits is travelling suspended by helium filled balloons...

He's a character I started drawing just over 2 years ago, and since has become a custom made bookmark, a series of cards and a soft toy [pictures of the toy on this Blog]...

To any new readers, may I welcome you, have a browse, make yourself at home!

I drew this picture for my girlfriend for her Birthday when I also had her childhood soft toy dog Clubby repaired, and that's who the noodle-eating chap is on the left!

When I saw this weeks theme I had to post this as I had recently coloured it in and finished it off...

I hope you all enjoy it!

As a sidenote to my current readers, my Fiora Cavazza model has halted for now, and I am re-making it with Sculpey Firm, which is amazing stuff... I will have more posts and images on that soon!
