My first animal project


I had a commission about a french bulldog figurine. I was a bit afraid of this project, because it's soooo different of the things that I usually do. As usual, I postponed this project as much as I could, but there was the time, I couldn't pass it anymore.

It took about a day, to finish. I had really no idea, how to start, what to do, any because I feel sooo like a stranger in anatomy areas, it's really not perfect.

Model car accessories


I've planned to write about these clay-bags for a while now, but I had to collect the photos of them- I always forget to make some before sending off, too bad! Fortunately, I got some VERY GOOD photos, so showtime!
They're all 1/18, and there are a few types... All of them are different a bit of course, just because I'm not a factory with molds around (should I make some molds? Would make my life easier :P ). Some more are in progress, and since it's a good point to test out my Revell paints, I WILL make more types also. Found a few inspiration pictures lately, ready to use them.

Want some of them? Contact: dskft (at) upcmail (dot) hu :)

Welcome to Barrockstadt!

I'm sitting among piles of work to do, but still couldn't resist to create something for myself. This "thing" (since I haven't decided what to use it for, maybe I'll stitch it on a bag) is inspired by the Syberia games, which is one of my favorites, and the best of bests among point and click adventures. To those who have never played the game:

The story takes place in a kind of mechanized world, and starts in the French alps, in Valedilene. It has a unique style, with an awesome artwork and storyline. It's marked by the name of Benoit Sokal, and must say, he became one of my favorite game artists ever.

I tried to catch the feeling what the game gave me. I might be wrong, but it fits the "clockpunk" style, with all those mechanic miracles that's seen in the artwork, making you believe it's all possible.

The logo I painted is the original logo of the first Syberia game, a silhouette of an automaton. I had a chance to try my new Revell paints, which I got for some different projects. I don't know much about them yet, but surely like it! It covers the surface quite smoothly, easy applying even with the thinnest brushes. I used Pentart pains earlier, because of it's good price, and for I never needed more precise paintings on my projects. Time for a change!

No minis

What? No minis, not even a bit?
Nope :) I didn't have the time to produce any. I had to make a bunch of remake, for some of our projects became too successful. Not bad, at least I can finance the future OOAK pieces!


Instead, I've brought you a bunch of photos of my Supervisor. She's taking a break, nothing was ruined by her in the past weeks. I should cut off her salary!

Coffee and cigarette


I must have taken a break... Things have come to a critical point, and I didn't have the power to move and work... At least I have cleaned the house! Well, things come, things pass! Time to step over, and restart!

Nobody ever in the world said, that only beautiful things can be miniaturized! Since my mission is to recreate scenes of reality, it totally fits for my style. I got the idea instantly yesterday, so I took my resin to make a mini ashtray. The others just came.

I use polyester resin, simply because it's a whole lot cheaper than epoxy. It took some time, to find the right one, but the seller was really helpful, they answered every stupid question kindly. For this kind of minis, I find it pretty good, and it's easy-coloring by cheap nail polishes - with it, I can manage even the opacity. Great stuff!

I better get back to my work. Since I did nothing for over 2 weeks, it's starting to overwhelm me. I better catch up very soon - this means I'll have more things to write about in the next few days/weeks!

Miniature timeline

I have just finished a slideshow of my minis of the past year. Now I can really see, and hopefully you can too how they improved over time... Quite a shock, but at the beginning, they all looked real... :)

(Sure, my photography skills improved the most, haha!)

Don't forget to set quality the highest, if it's not already set!

Furniture

I’m over a very busy weekend, again. Last time I wished for more like this, now I think I had enough for at least a month!

I have spent the weekend at the Factory, to catch up with the requests and commissions. We had a request, which really got to my mind, so it wasn’t so hard to take it in my hands,

The style was the 30’s style. I googled up a few ideas, and chose some tutorials for my first few cardstock furniture. Kris’ blog is becoming one of my favourites, she does really awesome stuff and so detailed tutorials!

Since I have no tools for woodcraft, I have to use cardstock and different papers for my furniture, and I enjoy creating them more than I thought at first.

This is not the whole roombox, just a few materials I chose to make a composition. I also made a desk with a (pretty lame) typewriter, ink and quill and a lamp. First try, hard success. Well, I did my best, I hope!

I got some more clay this weekend. I bought a pack of porcelain puppen, I was a bit afraid of it, because I needed it for and exchange of normal white, which is pretty expensive. For real brightwhite, it's pretty lame. But for color mixing, no better is needed. Fortunately got a pack of classic white too.  I rarely work with real white, I hate the visible dust on it... It's a pain to clean up!
