Run or draw? Run or draw?!?

How about drawing a character running? Does that count in my training? No?!?

The Disney Princess Half Marathon is approaching and I had better keep on top of my training and do my run today... but I also feel the urge to practice my character art and sketch. Some days it's absolute garbage- but that's the point of practice, isn't it? Strengthen those bits and work out the kinks... Creativity is so much like athletic training. You can only get better with practice and if you don't use it- it can take a lot to get back where you were!

Now that I've sketched something out... Time to run!

New Vinylmation One of a Kinds!

Huge delay in posts, but life can be like that. :)  Here are my two newest One-of-a-kind Vinylmation figures. They are each 9" tall. Each has sculpted elements.  I also mentioned in my previous post a few projects I was finishing up but hadn't posted pictures. Here they are! 4 one-of-a-kind Vinylmation pieces I did for Mickey's Circus Trading event this past summer.

Doctor Facilier was in a fortune telling booth. I like using the popular characters but it's nice when I can find a place for ones who don't get the spotlight as often. There is a soft spotlight above him and the candles are flickering LEDs. The lighting added a nice quality to the mood.  The Neverland Mermaid was a bit more abstract. I wanted the freedom to experiment and I'm very pleased with the way she turned out. I thought the display case was a nice touch! ;)  She's sitting on a rock and yes- there is a hidden Mickey made from barnacles on the back of the rock. Her tail is sculpted with hand cut/placed individual paper scales. This one has a lot of sparkle to it. It's safe to say those two were pretty time consuming.  Next are Chip and Dale- decked out as clowns for the circus theme. These four took a lot of time to complete but they are very special to me.
