Crafting Roundup: July/August

So I spent a brief fortnight out of my busy life house-sitting my boyfriend’s parents in sunny Norfolk. During this period I took the opportunity to remember how to ride a bike, watch every episode of Jonathan Creek and do a lot of crafting. I thought it would be the perfect time to open myself up for commission work on the UKofEquestria forums. Alas nopony seems to be biting and I am still working on personal and to-sell projects.

[Once I have more pieces made up I intend to create an Etsy shop to sell from, and maybe that will bring in the revenue I need to pay the rent].

So in an effort to be more open about my WIPs I am going to dedicate this post to my process and half-finished works.

Custom Homestuck Figure: The Knight of the Void

I'm not the biggest fan of the Homestuck, but I couldn't resist sculpting one of these cute little armless twerps. This is the fan character of a friend of mine: The Knight of the Void. With the fighting symbol from Pokemon and some sweet-ass shades it was a relatively simple job, but pretty rewarding.



Here he is in glorious brown, black and white



The base was made out of Sculpy, with wire to hold the various parts together. Then the hair, feet and face details were sculpted on with Milliput. Then it was a simple paint and varnish job. Overall this was one of my easiest projects to date as well as the first figure I've made from scratch. Very pleased with this outcome, I'd be happy to make more.
