iPhone splash screen

Another test to see how the iPhone handles updating on the go! This is the little graphic I made for the start up screen.

Just a test post from my iPod touch!

Poster!

I was yet again inspired to make a fake propaganda-esque poster for Battlestar Galactica. This time I decided to make a fake ad for a nonexistent clothier/supplier.

Finished (for now)

I have pretty much finished my first Monarch! Wings are laminated photo paper.

I will take "proper" photos against a sweep later in the week, after I add in the "eyes" on his breastplate logo, and gloss in the eyes/teeth!

I will probably redden/lighten the beard/eyebrows, as the brownish-red I made seems a little too dark.

All in all, I'm pleased. I opted for a wall-eyed look, so maybe I'll try a sideways glance next time. Here's a Coke can for scale:

I'll start on the Dr/ Girlfriend sculpt soon, but I have an awful lot to do between now and mid-July, deadline-wise, so she may have to wait a month or two. I don't want to rush her!

Enamel

Waiting for enamel to cure to a rock-hard state is like watching a pot of water come to a boil.

Progressing nicely, but the wait on the yellow is agony! I redid the flesh tones, making him sicklier and more pale. Left a darker tinge around the eyes and the edges/undersides of the nose. I'll go back in and deepen the lips a touch.

The casting worked nicely though.

Skin!

My molds were successful - a Monarch parts set was pulled that I could then assemble and paint.

After cleanup, beard attachment, and priming, I painted the skin tones on the Monarch. There's about four shades used - it's very subtle, and will show up better when he's photographed correctly... currently, I have masked this area off and have shot him with gloss yellow, for the armor.

More soon!

Wings

I made the Monarch's wings today.

That wraps up all the pattern work. I'm going to make molds this weekend, and then I can finally get a casting that I can paint and finish!
