The Prise of the Probots

Well, it's been a while. I haven't stopped doing stuff, just I can't find the time these days to get it digitized in some way and put it up here (blame the 9 month old baby).

Still continuing just drawing at the moment. Liking the fact I can just scribble and it ends up becoming something. Thought I'd do a mechanical version of the goblin orchestra, thing is straight lines and machines aren't really my thing. I much prefer natural shapes. 

Can't say I'm all that happy with it, but here it is. Kinda wished I'd populated it with more robots. Thought that I had quite a crowd of them, but then the floor started to appear. No idea where they're heading or what the big one is pointing at.

I think there was a video game called Rise of the Robots...never played it. About as clever as it gets I'm afraid.

The Goblin Orchestra

A little bit of a scribble. Nothing planned, just sort of let it be what it ended up being.

So...a sort of musical recital for some kind of underground fish monster monarch held by a bunch of weird creatures.

He doesn't appear to be all that pleased to be hearing it...

Our Topper

Here's another bit of wedding creativity. I've done a couple of cake toppers for other people and, while I had save the dates, invites, a seating plan and various other bits to do I made a cake topper as well. It would've been strange to not make one for my wedding. The idea is basically a 3D version of the save the date, combining a bunch of things that we both like. The TARDIS is me, as is the dinosaur. The cat and the Pride and Prejudice book is my wife. The pint of beer is for both of us.

The Lord of the Rings ring around the cat's neck is both of us as well.

As I've said before in several of these 'model build' posts I tend to avoid objects with straight lines. I put the clay on in blobs and then have to spend ages smoothing it flat. The dinosaur's tail is also kinda long...but I wanted it to wrap around everything.

We've been to weddings before where the cake is so enormous most of it gets thrown away. We didn't exactly get the smallest cake...bit it seems quite small with the topper on it!

 

 

 

The goggle-eyed mushroom gatherer

It's been quite a while since I've posted on here. Been quite busy. Doing another alphabet at the moment.

In the quiet bit's I thought I'd get back into charcoal, do something traditional while the grim February weather raged on. It took me ages to actually finish him, but here he is. This guy doesn't really have a backstory, I just thought I'd take the Brian Froud route and go from the eyes outwards. It's not something that usually works.

Anyway, just a bit of fun. I have an idea that the mountain king is having some sort of celebration and this guy is the official mushroom gatherer.
