Steampunk Gotham Girls

Okay so I’m starting on a new little project…a few years ago I did some ATCs(Artist Trading Cards) of female versions of Batman’s, The Joker, The Riddler and The Penguin. Well I liked the concept and thought I would do a larger print of them, AND since I am SO enjoying Steampunk-ifying my work right now, I desided to combine the two, for a Steampunk Gotham Girls series! It’s gonna be fun :D  

Anyhoo, I am almost done with my sketch of The Penguin, need the fill in her stockings and I’m adding a border…trying to think of a good one. Hmmmm…

Sorry the picture isn't great, this is 11x17 so it wouldn't fit into my scanner.

Thanks for reading.

This one's for the Birds

Good Afternoon Everyone! So I haven’t accomplished much arting this month with the move'n'all but since we are finally getting settled into our new home, I should be able to start on it soon. I’m really looking forward to sculpting again.

Anyway I did find a few minutes of free time (during work, don’t tell Shhhh :P) to sketch a couple new ideas. It will probably be sometime before I can add color to them but I really think they came out cute. I would like to do a few more and make this a small series of pieces. I’m thinking of calling them “Bird Watchers” for obvious reasons :)

Thanks for reading, keep checking my blog for updates.

Umbrella..Ella..Ella..Ella

Finally finished the newest piece I’ve been working diligently on, Steampunk Myxie number two. She turned out pretty well, even though not entirely the way I had envisioned but good never the less. The steampunk Myxie, that I have yet to think of a suitable name for, took me a little while to complete due to all her details and accessories. I experienced a lot of firsts with this piece as far as my sculpting comfort zone goes. She is now equipped with tiny sculpted polymer clay keys, gears, a clock and…Drum Roll Please…an umbrella. The umbrella was a bit of a challenge but I was quite impressed with myself after I pulled it off. The hardest part was definitely the top part, it was so difficult to get the fabric to sit the right way, but I eventually got it. I can’t wait to post Photos of the finished Steampunk Myxie for you all, I sent her to my Photographer today so I’ll post them as soon as she’s done. But until then I’ve posted a few little Photos I took of her umbrella and wings. What do you think? :)

Thanks for reading. Keep checking my blog for updates on my newest pieces.
