What I've been at

Well I started painting Seras Victoria a couple of days ago (pictures have been uploaded).  Since I used grey primer for pretty much everything I have to paint the skin areas white first before painting the skin tone.  It is a pain in the ass painting one coat, letting it dry a bit, painting another coat, letting it dry a bit... but the lighting is crap in my work room so it's hard to see mistakes on white primer plus I have a load of grey primer and only about half a can of white.

I started running about 3 weeks ago using an app called "Zombies, Run!", it's a great app where you have to run and gather supplies (automatically) while helping a town grow.  At random times you will be told that there is a zombie horde chasing you and you will hear them groaning and a beeping sound that will get faster as they get closer.  To outrun the zombies you run 20% (I think) faster than your previous 2 or 5 minutes for about a minute.  The story is great and it's only about £3 at the moment.  If like me you're wanting to shed those holidays lbs I would highly advise you get it.  Available for both ios and some android devices.

I had to stop running after Monday last week as I hurt my ankle, I don't know if I've sprained it or anything, I'm too stubborn to to go to the doctors but if I'm still in pain tomorrow then I'll definitely be going on Friday to see what I've done to it, plus see what the hell this weird pain is that I'm getting in my hand every morning.

Back from my break

I'm finally back to working on a kit, photos have been added to the WIP/Gallery section.  Just a reminder, my photos of Cerion should be up around the end of February, start of March.  I'll probably have Seras mostly finished by then.

Coming back (soon)

To those that read my blog, sorry it's been so quiet for the past month.  I've been both busy and lazy, I started working on Seras Victoria last year but then got lazy and wasn't in the mood to work on her.  I'll be getting back to work maybe next week.  She's a very easy kit, especially compared to the custom build kit I was commissioned to build so she shouldn't take as long to build and you won't have to wait months to see her after she is finished.  

Hope you all had nice holidays and ate maybe a bit too much :)

What's happening

Finally finished the Christmas shopping today :D  The only things I've bought for myself are all related to GK building, as you can see in the Future Kits section there are two new kits: The Gundam RX-78 Girl and the Dark Magician Girl.  Who knows when I'll get started on them, I have enough kits to last me a few years.

I still haven't started on Seras Victoria yet, maybe I'll start next week, I'm just taking it easy for a while plus I'll be starting to learn how to draw (manga) anatomy tomorrow.  Anything that looks good will be uploaded to my DeviantArt page.

Completely Finished

Well I finished Cerion yesterday and submitted it for the contest there now. My client is the only person that has seen what she looks like (apart from the surprises I made) and judging from her reaction I think she is happy with my work XD. I'm going to take a couple of days to rest then I'm going to learn how to draw anatomy and slowly work on my Seras Victoria kit.

All done

I've just uploaded the last of the Cerion WIP photos and that is the last you will see of her until March 2014.

Finished.... the painting

So I've finally finished the painting of Cerion and uploaded new photos to the WIP section.  Tomorrow I will be starting on the shading and hopefully she will be completely finished in a few days.
