As I mentioned in yesterday’s art blast, I couldn’t post a picture of the miniature I painted last week because Chad and I forgot to dip them when we got done painting, and the Quickshade was still drying when I posted the blog. It’s dry now, and my steampunk werewolf … Continue reading
You’ll notice this week’s art blast is a little light. Although I (finally!) finished the origami whale stop motion video, I didn’t have time to take pictures for a new one. Worse, I didn’t get a sculpture done. Yeah, I’m a slacker. I did get the first draft of the … Continue reading
