Color Me Mine

My friend and I have started meeting every Tuesday just to talk and catch each other up on our lives. This time, however, we planned to to to Color Me Mine (my first time) just to do something creative but it ended up being a celebration for me because the day before I had been offered a job. So I splurged and made a mask to go with my collection on my wall. I was originally going to make  a tea cup and coaster (or something else useful) but they didn't have any teacups and I didn't really like any of the cups and mugs they did have. Although, I almost made one of those teapot and cup for one. The only problem was I just wanted a plain one that I could customize; the only one they had already had a design.

I think it came out alright, not great but not disappointing either. I tried to give him an aged look but I don't think it worked out as well as I would have liked. Anyway, I look forward to going to Color Me Mine again sometime.

Yosemite Adventures


Here's a little comic I made about some happenings on my most recent trip to Yosemite National Park. It's a very crude comic that I made very quickly for my sister and I got lazy towards the end. I was planning to redo it in colored pencils to make it neater and cleaner but again laziness took over. I might redo it in the future to clean up the boxes, calligraphy and improve the drawing but that might not be for awhile.

Transformers' Soundwave Costume

Soundwave
I made this a couple of years ago but I felt like sharing it, especially since I haven't published a post in a while. I made this with my sister and my older brother for his friend's birthday party. It is made completely out of cardboard. Most of my work was done mostly from the waist down, along with a good portion of the helmet. I also made the Decepticon emblem on the chest. The body and arms were done by my sister and most the painting was done by our brother. We made this in 24 hours from 6pm-6pm and probably only slept 3-4 hours that night. If I had more time, I would have liked to give the costume some knees and do a better paint job but the party started at 3 or 4 so I did what I could. I apologize for the bad photograph but he was late and it was late so there wasn't a lot of light or time to work with.

I hope you enjoy.
