Right then, quite a mammoth post this one so prepare yourselves. It's also a mammoth event, getting married, so it's quite fitting I suppose. I wanted to have characters from the TV shows and films that we love crowded around the tables in a similar fashion to the invite and save the date. No one design, colour or character could cover everything.
So I thought, why not have a character each side holding up the 'table'.
Makes sense to put the finished seating plan at the top. Here it is in situ on the day.
We also made standees of the characters for the tables and put the characters on the placecards as well..to make it clear which table people should be sat at.
The little models are a whole different kettle of fish! I'll get to them later.
Anyway here are all of the original versions.
Toothless from How to Train you Dragon (my wife)
A 1964 Dalek from Doctor Who (me).
Legolas and Gimli from The Lord of the Rings (both of us).
Minions from Despicable Me (my wife).
Gypsy Danger from Pacific Rim (both of us).
Russell and Fredriksen from Up (my wife).
Wall. E from...Wall. E (my wife).
The Macawnivore from The Croods (my wife).
The Gorn from Star Trek (me).
The Pirate Captain from Pirates, an Adventure with Scientists (my wife).
Skeksis, Gelflings and Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal (both of us).
Berk, Boney and Drut from Trapdoor (me).
Talos from Jason and the Argonauts (me)..
An ewok from Star Wars (both of us).
Gorbash from Flight of Dragons (me).
Ludo, Sir Didymus and Ambrosius from Labyrinth (both of us).
The Centurion from Altered Beast (me).
Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service (my wife).
The Niffler from Fantastic Beasts (my wife).
Thinking back on it I probably should've painted them all as a complete figure rather than chop the circle out of them on the side...the ones I did do that with gave me a lot more wiggle room with regards to positioning. Then again the process always improves the longer the project.
Oo yeah, and I did a bonus one:
Dug from Up.
And I did a little one that didn't fit in the final version.
The glaive from Krull.
