Sylph - She Bites

Feral Armatures In My Kitchen.

I am working on the Trickster Who Shall Not be Named, But Who's Name Starts With A "C" And Ends With An "Oyote" for a commission and up until last night or so He's been a right bastard. But now, apparently He wants to cooperate so who am I to complain? ^___^

canid 1

Rawr! Two-legged *and* Four-legged! ^____^ and He stands by Himself! whoot!

canid 2

This is my new prototype armature that is actually built to model a skeleton. hopefully, it'll fix the "spaghetti arms" problem I've been plagued with up until now.

canid 3

He's kinda sexy. I totally have to finish repairing Pan now so I can photograph them together. *purrr purrrr purrr*

Me - Oh Noes!

Good Morning!

So yay! I made it to Minicon. ^_^ I got my creatures set up in the art show yesterday and now I am filling out bidsheets and waiting for the consuite to open. :P

and stuff.

I am a horrible morning type person. *sigh* I had to make myself lie in bed for an extra hour to justify getting up and disturbing my roommates at 7am.

Also, there are a *ton* of dogs here. it's... strange. (and by tone I mean 10 or 15. That's a ton for a hotel!)

Back to bidsheets. OOH! consuite is open! :P

Root Things Eat My Brain!

What 47 Armatures Look Like. :P



Here's my workbench yesterday. Pretty much there are:

23 SkellieOnes - (the green, red, black, and tape-colored to-be-determined ones)

1 Red Rider
1 White Rider
1 Black Rider - (all are Baba Yaga's servants and get skull headed beasts to ride! whee!)

1 Pan - (From Urban Fey!!!! He fills me with unholy gleeeeee! ^__^)
1 Coyote - commissioned
1 Anubis - commissioned
2 Random Goblins - (I found them in a box when I was cleaning. D: D: poor goblins.)
15 Imps - (a couple are crowlings, a couple are mosswomen and the rest are up to my imagination! :P)
1 Random Hunter - (she's a armature demonstration I never finished.)

and then there are 8 rootthings waiting in the wings... O_O

Yesterday I finished up the unfinished armatures. (did I say I *HATE* wrapping fingers? D: I had to watch three movies to get them finished yesterday. Woe! :P) And watched some movies wile I did it. :P

Today I get to do the fun parts! yay sculpting! ^_^ (probably also tomorrow and the next couple days as well, too. eep!) and then there's the paperwork and making a nest for the skellieones and playing with the House and taking pictures and calling people and all that fun stuff. ^_^ (and every now and then I take a dance break. because I can, of course. *DANCE BREAK*)

I also need to decide if Rapunzel is going to be Pre, Post or During pregnancy and if the Prince still has his eyes? I'm leaning more towards not, but then I'm like that.


ALSO ALSO?? there are Imps on Urban Fey!! Go see them! yay Corin! ^____^ and if you don't already, y'all totally need to read Urban Fey! It's made of ten kinds of awesome with a sekret awesome sauce for reals! ^____^ :D :D :D

So yus. I go work on dolls now. ^_^

Leeloo interrupts the photoshoot! AAAH!!! Giant tiny Kitty butt!! She totally makes Six look his size, though. LOL!

Something simply *must* be done about those Crowlings!! maybe we should discuss this in pig-latin...

Happy Day #8!

Happy Thing #8: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!! It's a highly amusing meme. :P

On the twelfth day of Christmas, bleaknimue sent to me...
Twelve goblins drumming
Eleven archetypes piping
Ten bones a-leaping
Nine sigils dancing
Eight woodcuts a-milking
Seven enigmas a-world-building
Six snakes a-traveling
Five blo-o-o-ood artists
Four trembling shambles
Three imaginary friends
Two rusty spoons
...and a barefeet in a taxidermy.
Get your own Twelve Days:


And?? CROWTHINGS WITH SCARVES! *________* they're SO CUTE!! *snuggles Four and Five*



Crowlings are Up To No Good. yus. so badass! :P



And I've been working! Here's proof! ^________^ 5 million armatures! D: D: D:



and, last, but certainly not least, Proto!Pan!! ^__^ (he's getting there. ^________^ whoot!


And Bone Child (and laptop too, as I just realized. :P) is in there for reference. She's the size of a regular Hunter. Proto!Pan is about 2.5 imps tall, or about 1.25 hunters. ^__^

Also, I went to my work party tonight and brought [info]suibhne_geilt as my guest. I had more fun than I expected to. ^_^ and it still wasn't snowing when we left at 9. (It's just barely flurries now and it's almost midnight. I'm really hoping for a good drive in to work in the morning, but I'm not counting on it. HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL, MAN!)

As usual the food made me sick, but it was nummy! and I had my first actual cup of coffee in almost a year. D: I was really hoping it was the decaf, but I have a feeling that it wasn't. *sigh* especially since I'm still awake and editing pictures. :P

Also we got t-shirts for our holiday gift thing. they're really soft, though. and mine has a tape gun on it. LOL.
***

Anywhoo, I'm working on a certain little red imp with wings and a black fuzzy body right now. ^_^ And then I need to get me to bed, 'cause yeah. Driving's gonna suck in the morning. bleah.

whee!

Beasties, Goblins, a Salamandar, Lady Owl and the Elf King!




So [info]suibhne_geilt took pics of the new beasties! ^___^ I'll get descriptions up as soon as I write them and post them to my Etsy store.

Bone Child, Lady Owl and the Elf King are commissions, the rest are waiting for adoption. ^_^ (preferably a place with beer as I have none and the poor things are going into party withdrawal. ah those hedonistic faeries.)

Next up! A Murder of CrowThings... (and a new armature technique! whoot! ^_^)

Stuff and Things.

Hi!

Tonight was fun. ^_^ [info]suibhne_geilt and I headed down to the Terrace to meet up with Barry, Nataraj and Reena and hang for a bit. Apparently there was a fabulous sunset that Nataraj and his camera caught but I missed. meh. Hopefully he'll share. ^_^

Barry left when it started to drizzle and the rest of us headed down to the King of Falafel (NOM NOM NOM!) and had a lovely dinner. ^_^ I totally love that place.

Chilling is a good thing. I need to do it more often. ^_^

Last weekend, Eric and I headed down to Chicago to chill with [info]swampwitch, Drake and Ziggy and it was equally fun! whoot! We had fabulous food (ethiopian and sushi whoot!) and hit up the Threadless store where I got a shirt I've been wanting for a while now. ^_^ (and got to see the previews for this weeks shirts before they were on the site! ^_^) and I watched Hellboy 2 the third time. #^_^# 2 more to go! ^_^V)

Tomorrow I'm heading out early to the farmer's market downtown with Bessie and then heading over to work for some overtime. We're pretty slammed and I can use the money.

AND! Tomorrow night I'm heading to [info]drakenfly and [info]obafugakum's place to celebrate their wedded bliss. ^_^ and drink their homebrew. and other people's. and just have fun seeing people I don't see unless I'm hanging out over there. (or at a con. :P)

Sunday I'm cleaning. and cleaning. and doing laundry. Also, I am up for a movie that evening if anyone wants to see anything but Dark Knight. (or other violent movies. My sadism threshold is rather low these days. :/)

Aleister is trying to hork a hairball. He woke himself up coughing. Poor guy. I really want him to just get it over with, but then I'd have to clean it up. :( I just feel bad for him. It sounds painful. Just not in my laundry, please.

I think my hair is dry enough to go to bed. (I hate it when it drips down my neck. bleah.) So I should do that. Morning comes too soon!!

****

Ooh!! I just remembered! I got my passport in the mail the other day! YAY!! It took 9 days to process it and I'll be getting my PassCard as soon as they get the kinks worked out of the production of them. ^_^ This means I can visit [info]imagocorvi!!!! *does a dance* (and any of you other international peeps looking to hang with this crazy american chick. :P I promise I have manners and I didn't vote for Bush. D:)

I decided to finally get it because I want to go to Calgary for World Fantasy 2008 in November. ^_^ (damn that's gonna be pricey! I'm working on making it worth it, though. *crosses fingers*)

****

hmmmmm... I'm sure I had more to say, but for the life of me I'm Captain Distractable today and having a hard time with too fast thoughts. *sigh* I did get a good start on the Root Mother. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I get back from work and have better light. (read: any light at all due to Middle Of The Night. :P)

Good Night!

Frigg!






this is Frigg. she's my part of the goddess craft swap on the bpal forums. I made her for [info]suileach and she has graciously granted me the use of her picture. yay! I love pictures of critters in thier new homes. ^___^

I made a tutorial of how I made her in my flikr account:

I took pictures of pretty much every important step to create a doll from foil and wire to sculpey and leather. ^_^ Due to circumstances, she was created on solstice this year during a very nice, sunny and fabulous day. ^__^

I love how she just matches her spot in her new home! It was completely unintentional. :D yay!

The tutorial starts here.

Here there be Beasties! They be looking for new homes!

I'll be setting these up for sale on Etsy tonight. Here's a preview before I do! ^_^

(Hunters are $130 and Imps are $80)





This is Astrid Stareyed. She is a Hunter with labradorite eyes, deerskin, fox fur and APT fabric in her dress. She has sharp, pointy teeth and freshwater pearls in her hair.

Hunter - Astrid Stareyed )





This is Beatrice Bonewing. She has crazy horns and crazy hair! her teeth are black and pointy. Her eyes are Leopard agate and her wings are found bone. she has a little bit of deerskin stretched along the outside of her wings to help her fly.

Hunter - Beatrice Bonewing )





This is Grell! Grell has eyes made of fire agate and is wearing deerskin and fox fur. He has curly horns, floppy leather ears,and a chest rug. He likes beer. I'm thinking he and Nigel would get along. yus.

Hunter - Grell )





This here's Ike! he's an imp. he's also a birdthing, but he's a youngin' so don't expect him to be boozing with his elders. His eyes are mother of pearl and he's dressed in deerskin

Imp - Ike )





This is Kez. He would like a cookie. plz? His eyes are hematite and his hair is skunk. He is wearing deerskin and he has a little bee around his neck.

Hunter - Kez )





This is Leah. She's a Fisher Imp. She has a little hat that she can wear wen she is chilly. and right now it is a good thing! her eyes are amber and she's wearing deerskin. She thinks that Ike is a dingleberry. neener neener.

Imp - Leah )





This here is Lou. He's been around the block a bit. Met all kinds of beasties and roots and cats. He's looking to expand his horizons. His eyes are hematite, he's wearing deerskin.

Imp - Lou )





NORM!!! We love Norm around here. He's a great storyteller and makes a mean pizza. His eyes are jade and he has fish teeth spikes. Don't think that makes him mean, though. He's as sweet a beastie as they come. He even told little Leah that bedtime story about the salamander who left to find his mother, last night. All 958 chapters! Norm's a champ!

Hunter Norm )





Quinn the Beekeeper is an odd duck. Sometimes it seems she likes her bees more than she likes her family. oops! (although she might have a point there when it comes to Grell. they don't quite get along. ) She has one goldstone eye and one shell eye. Her hair is foxfur and her dress is deerskin. She is decorated with her beloved bees.

Hunter - Quinn the Beekeper )





This is Tish. She's French. Oh, wait that's wrong. She's a Moss Woman. She tends the trees and mosses in the deep forest and generally keeps to herself and her sisters. (although stories have been told of a wild night on the town with Ike and Nigel, although I haven't found proof yet. I'm telling ya! what's up with these wild creatures!) Her eyes are labradorite and flash in the light. Her hair is foxfur and her clothes are deerskin.

Imp - Tish )





This is Tish's sister, Wanda. Wanda is fluffy inside and out. She loves to nibble on the little mushrooms that grow near the mosses that she tends. The give her good dreams and whoa! make good soup too! ^__^ She has a little tail and also has labradorite eyes. She is cute and wee like a little kitten.

Imp - Wanda )
