Wonder Woman Drawing

Last post for today :) I just finished my Wonder Woman drawing that was a work in progress last week. Here it is!

This is the first Wonder Woman drawing I've ever done, and I really like it. I tried to go with a slightly different look for her. My favorite part of this drawing is the hair.

Note: I do not own the copy-written character above!!

Doctor Who - Cyberman

Another costuming activity that I'm working is the Cyberman implant from Doctor Who. This is made out of puffy fabric paint.

 

This is the best photo I can find, of what's in the episode. 

 

This helps to give an idea, how large it is. I made it a bit too big, but it still looks cool.

The fact that it's too big actually works out. While I really like it, I have now idea as to how I would wear it without the paint sticking to my face. I was planning on covering it in liquid latex, but I don't think that would work. I still what to try it, but I do have another idea. 

Something I might be able to do is use sculpey clay, sculpt this design, bake it, and then cover it with liquid latex. I can do a few layer of latex, and let it dry. Once it dries, I can use metallic silver paints, paint the top, wait for it to dry, and then add more latex on top.

This is the puffy paint brand I used. It really looks like metal, once it's dried.

 Thanks for taking a look at my blog! If you have any suggestions on any improvements I can make, post away in the comments. Be sure to comment and share! :D

Clearer Photos

Hey everyone! Here's some updated photos of some past drawings that were, originally a bit difficult to see, due to the photo quality.

Hope you've enjoyed my post! Have a few more things to post about tonight, and then will begin working on painting my paper mache Loki scepter! Looking forward to posting that :)

More Costuming Ideas

One of my artistic hobbies is designing and making costumes. These are a few costume ideas I've come up with.

 This costume design is a Steampunk Loki costume, based on the Simplicity pattern below. Once I finished  with my Loki scepter (which I'm hoping to work on and completely finish, soon!) I would love to make this costume, but still have to make the helmet for it.

Another costume that I just finished, is a clockwork machine costume based on the characters from Doctor Who, from the episode, "The Girl in the Fireplace."

This is a reference photo of the episode, that I used, and below is a photo of me in the costume.

While the dress isn't quite the right time period, I'm going to be making alterations to it soon. One thing I'm very proud of with this costume, is the mask. I took a simple masquerade mask, and painted it for my costume. I did have to make they eye openings larger, and sanded the edges for a smoother look.

I'll be adding more details to it soon, by adding thin nylon to the inside of the eyes to darken them, and also adding gold leaf paint to where the yellow is now. I know it's not the best costume for this character, but keep in mind, I worked on the mask, and altered the dress, the night before the event!

Here's a close up of the mask below:

 

I hope to continue working on all of the above costume project soon. However, this is my next project! I'm trying to create a costume for one of the dolls from the Doctor Who episode, "Night Terrors."

 

I'm trying to figure out how to create the headpiece of the costume, but haven't quite gotten the idea for it yet. Some ideas are making a paper mache costume (with newspaper, not the clay, as it's so much heavier), or making it out of cardboard. Another idea is to buy a mask used in fencing, and add paper mache to the front, and cardboard to the back, to create the features of the costume.

If you have any ideas on how to create this headpiece, please add your comments below! Thanks again for reading my blog!

First Real Steampunk Character!

Hey everyone! I've just begun to create steampunk inspired costumes and characters. The character below is a free-hand drawn character, with a steampunk influence.

It took me a long time to draw, but I really like it, and think it's pretty good for a first attempt! 

As always, thank you for looking at my blog! Please comment and share! :)

More Works in Progress

I'm working on some more drawings, but still have a long way to go on a lot of these.

I'm going to work on another Zentangle drawing, with the Star Wars Rebel Alliance as the logo. 

I've been working with calligraphy, but still need a lot of practice. It'll improve, though :)

 

The other project I'm currently drawing, is a free-handed sketch of Wonder Woman. I prefer to draw Marvel characters, but I wanted to draw something different. I'll be drawing her outfit soon, but I'm not quite sure it will look like yet. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my next few pieces of artwork that I will be finishing pretty soon! :)

Work in Progress... Middle Earth

I've been working on a project on and off for about a year or so now, and figured that I might as well post the photos from it, since I have not worked on it for quite a while.

 

Opening page of the notebook.

A drawing of Thorin's map. I'm still not finished with it yet

Let the journey begin!

Drawing of Bilbo Baggins

A drawing of Thorin Oakenshield. This is not in the notebook, but sort of illustrates the style of drawing that I'll be including in the book. I'll be making a smaller version of this drawing.

The notebook will be covering all of the major characters (a total of about 56 characters) from the Hobbit trilogy and the Lord of the Rings. I'm also going to draw Dale, Isengard, Mt. Doom, the Lonely Mountain, Lake Town, Gondor, and Rohan. This is going to take me an extremely long time, but I think it's going to be awesome, once it's completed!
