Crafts: Twillight Princess sheild

I needed to show someone in a fast and convenient way, so I figured I'd just upload them here.
This was made out of cardboard, thumbtacks and tape. Then paper mache.   Of course painted after.

I need to get some clear lacquer gloss spray to have a shine effect. I made this a while back when The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess recently came out that was to be used for my Link costume--but never finished that... (or it was made a year after that, something like that).

I've actually haven't done digital painting for a while now that I'e thought of it. School didn't give me time for it. But yeah..

Anyways. In the end I decided to flip the canvas for "lookout". I felt like it was more open that way (maybe cause I'm right handed... I don't know.) The one on the right is a painting of my character, Gii. This took 3-4 hours? So getting faster but still lots to work on. (I need to study noses!) Something's off with his right eye, too. But I realized this a bit too late. I'll try to fix it later.

Lookout

The only negative thing for me for being inspired at 5:00 is that I don't go to sleep.

This is a practice thing. Of course a bit more quickly done. I'll probably continue tomorrow now that I've decided I'll go to sleep now.... (I actually started with values this time, too! Hahaha.)

Pilots

Just a little something. It isn't finished yet. It's kind of one of those times where it's almost done but not really but you want to see it coloured so you colour wash it. So yeah. I did fix a lot of it. It's just not here. (Like the feet--they're not really on the same plane I think..)

Left to right: Evelyn, Marc Davis, Meyson, Roda, Kimmy, Rita

More Train Wip

Another look at tonight's 2nd half of the wip-ing.

Train Station

I just realized I didn't post anything for Nov. so something that's a wip.
I'm kind of BS-ing lighting and values at the moment since I'm finding I don't have time to go through it slowly and understand what's causing what. So yeah, it doesn't make sense, in short. Haha.

Hmm.

Mai and Zuko

A friend and I are actually dressed in these costumes for Halloween and I couldn't focus in class so...
