Evil Gnome Customs: putting pieces together

On developing the website for Evil Gnome Customs, here's something i patched together to display each helmet. I did a test one for the sharpie helmet. Ill be doing the zombie helmet next. But I kinda like it. Clean and simple.

  

I'm still fussing with the logo, but i finished editing all the dslr photos and am patching up the jpgs for the gallery :D I'm getting excited about this!

Stay tuned for more updates!

EDIT: I Couldn't find whether or not I posted the zombie helmet so I shall post here!

HELMET IS DONE!!!!

I finally finished painting the helmet!! :D It was a long process but I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I've gotten so invested in it that I didn't want to give it back lol. In these pix the helmet has not been clear coated yet. So I gave it to the bf to take care of that. Ill take moar pix after its clear coated. I can't wait bc i know it will look way better. The paint dried matte so some of the colors didn't look as bright and vivid as when the paint was wet.









Finishing this was definitely a great satisfying and rewarding feeling. Painting takes way longer than digitally painting and I've spent most of my life as an artist doing digital or only sketches. I learned a ton since I didn't take any painting classes so experimenting with colors was interesting. :) Stay tuned for the final final helmet results and pix!

omg helmet progress!.... and a special treat!

Here are some more progress pix ive taken with my iPhone! A lot of the streaky looking paint is more of the blocked in parts or underpaintings before i finalize the zombie/ guy. I finished the first zombie (2nd image) and was satisfied with the colors i have him etc. I might just add some more highlights on his left side but overall his face is done. I want to have all my zombies to this amount of detail. All i have left on the guy is his face, bullets, gun, hands, chain, and grenade. I have more on the helmet done which you dont see in these pix. Those will be up when i get to another good stopping point :)

I'm pretty content with where it's going and can't wait to finish it.







OH and I made oreo covered chocolate chip cookies.... @_@ which everyone should try bc its mind blowingly amazing!



And OREO... in a CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ftw!!!!!!


Damn i want some more....

Moto X Show!

So my bf took me to this motorcycle convention and asked me to bring my bros along. It was pretty cool. It was like a small comic con but with motorcycles lol. People were sitting on bikes and taking pictures with them and they even had some artwork on bikes thing which i found pretty interesting. It was also fun seeing my boys get excited over bikes like kids with new toys lol. It was cute. I definitely want to ride a motorcycle once in my life... maybe even want to own one. They look so awesome!

So here are some pix I took of the stunt show :P
