Almost ready for the MASTER CAST!

I've been sanding for about a week now, and I'm ready to do some fill-in work for the master cast.



On the left is an earlier positive I made. It's got oil clay filling the neck area because, well...He looks like his head is half-cut off.
I fully intend on having a good first positive from the master mold before Thanksgiving break.
I have 3 days.

Finally!

The very first GanPen cast!
I've been working on everything the past few days.
The mold and positive were just made today.
As you can see, there are many imperfections. Such as the feet. And numerous air bubbles.
BUT HE'S STILL COOL!
Just a few kinks to work out, and he'll be ready to be sanded and re-cast.
I think I'll make a tutorial sometime, just for the heck of it.

And now for something different

Here are some things I did in my break time after sculpting for several weeks.
Colored pencil for the lady and marker for that guy. They're not great, but it was a nice change...

I'm sure it's getting old...

...But here are some almost portfolio pictures of GanPen I took on Friday. I was messing around with a bunch of overhead projectors to get the lighting. Still not quite what I want.
Actually, I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a portfolio picture with good lighting...

Even More Progress!

The last image has Gan-Pen leaning way too far back.
He's almost ready to cast!
I just need to buy the casting supplies and smooth a few things out.
note that the figurine is now in 3 pieces- Feet, body, head. The head and body will be cast together, the feet separately. For now, anyway.

More progress...

Sorry for the lack of updates recently.
Here are more images of Gan-Pen


Head, body, and feet. The wings are now sculpted against the body. And the beak is temporary.


The Above image was taken today. You can see the little tail that I added on.
All that's left to do is the tie and tuxedo design on his tummy.
Note that the head and feet aren't attached, either.

Progress!

Here are some shots of the Gangster Penguin (GanPen?) sculpt thus far. Below is my work area in the Tech Theater shop upstairs.More stuff!

I probably shouldn't be doing that

I also may need to resculpt the feet. Not very penguin-esque.

Hack 2 School

So, here's this really cool website that's nifty for design school people! (like hopefully me).
Core77: Hack 2 School
I found it on the Core77.com design magazine website. Haven't had a good chance to look around much on the site, but the Hack 2 School thing is pretty funny and has tons of links to teach you how to do stuff, like "5 Ways to Sound Smarter in a Crit," "Classmate Designertypes (and what you can learn from them)," and this handy Hipster PDA thing (it's about halfway down the page)

I made my own PDA. I'll take pictures later, someday, probably.

Graphic Designs

Here are some cool things I might add to my graphic design-ish portfolio.


They were done in art class with some weird cutty-stuff. Can't rem-ember what the name is, but it has a white side and a black side layered on top of one another. You cut away the white side and the black side shows up underneath. Then I scanned it and made some nifty things in Photoshop.

HOLY SHAQ-FU!

Dragoneer's Aria "Dragon Draw" results

I ACTUALLY WON SOMETHING COOL FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!

Well, by the fruits of mine own labor, anyways...

FERUMGARRON WINS!

But man, the other two winners are outstanding! And so are the runners-up!
*on top of the world*
*really tired*

G'night.
