Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

I will repeat myself saying how well you manage to create entirely new faces every time so that each mushroom has its own attitude!
Cheers!

The expressions just seem to happen. I have a feeling for the Mushroom, Tree, or whatever I am sculpting & the face flows from the feeling if that makes any sense.
Thanks for the continued support, Dinos. It is appreciated.

Texas huh?

I don't know... I always thought you were Scandinavian for some reason... And if not that, definitely not from either Texas or Long Island, haha.

Those Bad Moon shrooms kind of remind me of Jesters too. Jestershrooms.

My Grandpa's grandfather came from Oldenburg; that is almost Swedish. I've been living in Texas for the last nine years. Folks here can still tell I came from somewhere else.  Folks on Long Island though I was a Californian. I might actually be from another dimension.

They do look like Jester's Caps. I think I will do the other two with that idea in mind. Thanks for the reply, Daniel.

Another insomnia assisted Mushroom is finished:






AND my favorite part; i.e., The Group Pic:


More later...or not.

The Two Faced Guy is now ready for The Box:








AND The Box:


Sweet dreams!

Jekyll and Hydnum.

Jekyll and Hydnum.   

...but which is which? They both look pretty nasty. Thanks for the reply, Fram.

This is today's addition to The Box, a Blue Moon Mushroom:








With the ever popular sot of The Box:


Being closer to actual size makes The Box Folk look somewhat better than the individual pics.

Another Evil Looking Mushroom was finished late last night:






Another Group Pic:


Have a FUN day!

Those two in the back have a Grinch vibe going on!

That's the impression they made on me also...ANOTHER Great Minds Moment! Thanks for the reply, Daniel!

...and I see at the background more some more interesting characters to come!

Thanks for the reply, Dinos. The ten Mushrooms that I have finished thus far are the small to medium ones. The remaining eleven are larger &, to a degree. more complex.
I have one with a vulture perched on his head underway, & a trio of similar Vulture-less ones trailing along behind.

Today I got an order from Hobby Lobby. It includes a horde of Snail Shells for the Homegrown Snails that Fram suggested:


There were some minis fro Reaper as well, but you'll get to see them as they are painted.

The next Mushroom & his Buzzard Associate...I think of them as Buzz & Binky; the Buzzard being Binky...was nearly finished last night. I wrapped it up earlier this morning:








The Gang in The Box:


AND the day is still young...I'm still old.

So many mushroomy marvels  wonderful as always. Very much looking forward to the snails as well.

Thank you for the kind reply, Thew1. I am glad you like them.
I am getting psyched on doing Snails now also. I picked up the Dark Sword Snail Cartographer a month or two ago. I will use him as inspiration for my own attempts. The small shells will be perfect for more normal sized snails. Obsessions can be FUN.
