Finished the paper doll for Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinity!
I’ve decided not to do Booker for this one (maybe I’ll make another of the two of them)…Instead it’s going to be Elizabeth being held by Songbird in the sky. That’s why she looks sort of unhappy, haha.
Holy Crumboly!
Wowee, my Moonrise Kingdom paper doll portrait post certainly exploded. I’m not sure who I have to thank for that, but thanks!!!
To anyone who has followed me because of it, or is wondering about it, it’s the first of a series of 4 portraits I’m making for a local cafe called Snakes & Lattes. I’m working on the second portrait right now, so it’s going a bit slow I suppose…but I wanted to say that it will be for sale eventually, just not right now. I will be listing it in my etsy shop when it is for sale, and you can find that here: my etsy shop! but of course there is always the chance that someone might buy it from the cafe, in which case I won’t be uploading it to etsy…but I have scanned in the paper doll pieces so I can print out versions of them and make a smaller portrait with a more simple background.
Oh and just to clarify, not all four portraits will be Moonrise Kingdom, they will all be different subjects…rather random ones at that. I’m working on a bioshock infinite one now, then Dr Who, and finally Aliens (with xenomorph and ripley…perhaps an appearance of Jonesy)
So I need to sell my dolls since I am moving out sometime this year…and I want to have as much funds as possible. It’s hard to get the time in to work on them, so now that I’ve put this one back together I just want to sell her as is. I had planned to make a stand and a hat for her, but it probably will never happen, so there you go. I need to get working on those blythes and just want to get my pullip out of the way.
ok the colours are totally off here, I have to take a new photo. But I was excited to show the finished piece!
Things are in motion
I want to say something exciting but I don’t want to jinx it because it’s not totally official yet. But things are looking up!
In other news, today I handed out a bunch of resumes and am actually going for an interview tomorrow morning!
Everywhere I handed out resumes was in my local neighbourhood, so I really hope something pans out. The furthest place I applied to is a plant shop, which is just a pop up until the end of June, but I love gardening so it would be fun working there. Ahhhh I really hope something works out!
Gardening woes
Wow I so do not want to shower, get dolled up and go hand out resumes today. I just want to roll around in the dirt (fixing up my garden).
I bought my tomato plants yesterday and this morning an animal had dug up one of the little pots! Of course it was the tomatoes I’m most excited for…indigo rose, a totally black tomato. I think one plant is ok, the other is still wilted, but I think it just needs more time to recuperate. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again tonight? Maybe I’ll bring them inside for the night. II’m not planting them just yet.
More crappy ipad photos!
Dolls are all done! Now I have to go buy paper for the background (either the beach or meadow scene? Not really sure how I’d make grass out of paper though…we’ll see), and make a banner. I’m not sure what to write on the banner…I just want to do the title, really. I don’t think it’s terrible to just write Moonrise Kingdom?
I have also scanned all this stuff in, so I can offer cheaper portraits! That way I don’t have to draw them out every time. Just print, cut, and pin together…whoopee! Of course, the original will be for sale too. But for more money.
