More SteamPunk Fun

So here are some more pics with minor commentary. Sorry for the long pic post.

Here, the feet are complete as well as the body. I had a design change from an upright Mech to more of a chicken walker like ED-209 or the AT-ST.





Here is the body. This side shows the gears...most of them. I am still finishing up some cogs and such.



And here is the pipe side with a better view of the Gatlin Gun (which is an authentic model from old Civil War pics)I have some more valve handles I want to add as well as maybe some chains (how I am going to make those out of paper-I'm still working on it)



Here are the completed legs on the body

SteamPunk Mechanized Walker

Construction has begun on a steam driven mechanized walking manlike machine of epic proportions. Crews have finished the boiler and the beams for the legs. Issues with the driver canopy have surfaced. The designer has not decided on whether to have a nice comfortable seat under a canopy or house the driver in an armored carapace. Updates to come....

New Project-Steampunk Mech

So, after my 4th of July project-I received alot of compliments about my mech (which didn't burn). So I am creating a series of 10 inch steampunk mechs. I just started on my first one-but here is the original







And here is where the hand launched off as planned and exploded. The gun fell off after the first missle took off-then spun in circles while the other 5 shot out. Then the smoke came, but no explosion. It now sits in my window.......handless.

I'm sooooooo lame.......

Okay-I am not doing this blog thing correctly. I haven't posted in several weeks as well as do any art for several weeks. I am still working on my Propaganda Poster as well as several masks. BUT my lazy butt has been laying about...lazily drinking Hot Buttered Rums playing Bioshock. Speaking of Bioshock-here is a Big Daddy Dunny I finished right before christmas. HA! I did do something.
Okay-I dont have a pic of the final-it's still in my camera-but here are a few before the final paint job.







For those who don't know what BioShock is-it's one of the best video game ever!!! Right behind Psychonauts or Worms or ..........EarthWorm Jim.

As for Dunnys....google it.

Earlier works

Haven't posted in a while. We had our biggest show at the end of February (my day job is in manufacturing as a tech illustrator) PLUS we had layoffs. We have our regular duties AND had to cover the extra work. My nights consisted of Rum and my Xbox.
Currently I am working on some art deco propaganda posters with a twist-but thought I should post something. I did these a while back-but the demon mask is still one of my favorites.

Bird Masks now with 30% more color

Elisa finished the shoot and here is one of them.

Paper mask for Elisa

Elisa has a shoot today and needed two bird masks for the models. Here are the two in the middle of production. I will post some of her pics of the final masks and her models.

Tarot of Masks

Here are some of the masks that I created for my wife's project. The whole major arcana has 22 cards. We got to 9.

Finally! Some pics from the 4th of July (very late)

Here are some items I did this past summer. I create paper....thingys and blow them up. Enjoy



I LOVE WWI style of planes and will create a squadron next time.



Private time...



May make some more Vipers while I'm at it too.



Anyone for some magic?



...and nothing says fun like a victorian steampunk robot.

Snome!!!

Hah! Our little garden gnome before that other 9 inches fell.

Christmas project

WOW! We here in Oregon got pelted with Boston level snow. Living at sea level we don't get very much-but it snowed for a full week and we a whopping 13 inches. Some places got over 18! Anyway-it gave me time to finish this project. I came across an old Victorian print and thought how great it would be in a shadowbox.





And the final one...


Elisa has a better photo-but she needs to edit what's in her camera first before my pic.

Mask for Elisa's Masquerade Ball

Here is a mask I did for Elisa for her "Rebirth". This was for the Masquerade Ball that we had several months ago.

More Pics from Halloween

Here are the rest of the pictures that my wife Elisa (Visioluxus) shot after the party. All my armor is paper, painted with acrylic and drybrushed with gold. Elisa's bird skull is also paper sealed with acrylic as well.

To color or not to color

Here is the mask that I created a while ago and retooled it for halloween. Quite a difference.

Be Gentle. This is my first blog.

Well. For someone who has seen the start of the digital age, why have I waited so long to start a blog. Here it goes...

Just got finished with the Halloween project (seen here) and so what do I do now? I have a project that I am finishing up for my mother-in-law (but don't want to post it till it's done). We are working on the Heaven's Warriors and here is my latest mask-it's a work in progress. The idea is to create a group of masks that the angels would wear (both light side and the fallen). There may be armor as well. (that bottom post was posted by my wife-to get me started)
