Scene Painting exercise

Well, I have been posting very sparsely lately; it’s definitely not because I haven’t been doing anything!  I think life has become so occupied that the actual posting takes more time than I have now!  =O

So, here’s something we did in my Stagecraft class this week – practice painting on a large scale. =)  everything we do in this class is 100% geared toward learning the ropes for setting up the play productions here, and we have required volunteer hours.  That’s where they get their labor! XD

Practice Assignment: 2 people paint a grayscale section of a face on a 4′ x 8′ board. You can see the scale was huge – fortunately we had a grid to work with in 2′ squares, on the inch-to-foot scale =)

Use of texture was highly encouraged with sponges and feathers!  Creating texture lends very well to the faraway effect and is easy to do.

Everything was completed in just an hour and a half–

Here’s the one I worked on.

And the final giant effect!  The face was well done.  I think as a whole it doesn’t look half bad for being quickly thrown together and 0% coordinated.  XD

Side note – Storytelling

I have so many hobbies!  with a small obligation to occasionally updating the lives of my dolls, Senna has updated the world with the happenings of October in her diary here. [and here is the story before that one]  Stay tuned for the more recent events of november! =)

Assembled Parts

This is a continuation of my BJD Hybrid experiment – first post is here.

Today I was working on my Visual Arts project, and something awesome came in the mail! =)

This ironically happened just after Senna posted her first entry in her LJ.  Read that first for backstory.

I am in red, Senna is purple

Penpalling

Saying goodbye…

Senna is packing up the WS Crobi Lance head to be sent to Vega, its ultimate buyer through our joint DoA purchase.  She was happy to have been able to see it up close.  With a little bonding time this weekend, she decided to write a letter to Lance’s fateful owner since we recently found out that we have a mutual friend “in real life” – eluneth!  How crazy is that?? =)
