Description - toy box stage one

I wanted to go with a dark theme for my toy box, since the theme of the characters and the movie in question from which they are derived is decidedly not very upbeat. So my first step in the boc design was to paint the toy box black.

My next step is going to be cutting out a hole so you can see my character in the box, because I think that is probably important.

After that, I plan to add movie poster artwork and all the various descriptors to the box, and finally I will stick my two figures inside.

Picture comparison

Just thought I'd post this to compare the real articles to the toy likenesses for all to see.

Interesting online news item

Not sure how many of you actually pay attention to world news on a regular basis, but I found this article on the CBC website to be of interest. If you are the kind of person who has a vested interest in the political process of this country, as I do, this is something that you might want to pay attention to.

I voted for the first time in last year's federal election, and I think that having some idea of what is going on around you in the world is a good thing.

Here are the front, side, and back shots, after painting. They almost have personalities!

And I love the dude's trench coat.

My two figurines, after baking, but before painting. One is the husband, a spy with a trenchcoat, the other is his wife.

My Super Sculpey action figure

My super sculpey figure sketch (well, painting/sketch) as mentioned earlier. I'm probably going to play around with it a bit in Photoshop in order to get some of the tones right.

Red Scarf

I am building up steam for the production of my final project in the Video I course.
It is to be a 5-7 minute spy-type movie called "Red Scarf".
Here are some promotional photos.







Incidentally, my planned Super Sculpey figure will be my character from this movie.
More updates forthcoming.

Painting Photos

Here are a couple more photos to do with that intersection painting thingy. One, as you can see, is in progress, the other is complete with the dreary gray sky that I saw that day.
