Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/14/24 Stage update & stuff!

Thanks, Knightofspades! I'm delighted you like them, & took the time to say so.

[Constable Bertrand]

What grotesque little faces! DeafNala, they are my favourite 'shrooms so far! I love their hats and the ribbed undersides.

Could you make a scary caterpillar smoking something strange upon a large "boss" mushroom? Your mysterious forest is a scary place. Any animals must be equally scary to survive that place.

Amazing work, I cannot fathom the skill needed, nor the amount of GS you go through

[DeafNala]

Thanks for the kind comments, Constable B.!

I don't know if I can, but that is a very cool idea. My friend, Fabio, made a little caterpillar on a shelf mushroom; I could use him as a model for a hookah smoking Caterpillar ala Alice in Wonderland.

You know now that you mention it, I'm not sure how much G.S. I have gone through. If I remember, I'll keep a note on it. As far as skill, these really are my first venture into G.S.. Hither to I limited myself to bases & an occasional spooky face all done in plumber's epoxy putty.

Here are the Lads at O'Leary's...they look happier there:

I was thinking Alice in Wonderland 

Wow, all that pink really does change the mood! So cheerful!!

Hahaha

Well the lads are in company of fairies/pixies... maybe you could include few of the fair fairie folk as well to cheer your lads a bit?

[DeafNala]

Thanks, Guys!

O' Learyland does seem to be a happier place, but White Rabbit is still playing in the background.

Funny you should mention it; I have picked up a few faerie Folk, although sans tutu. They now have a new appeal...I have a feeling that they'll turnout sinister however.

Why does that not surprise me one little bit?

My reputation proceeds me...followed closely by the rest of me.

Actually though the Seelie Court is a fairly sinister group of not-so-pleasant Faerie Folk. Of course, my spin on the thing may make them a bit less cuddly.

Some Wyrd Imps have joined the Sylvan Community...the universal cry of "There goes the Neighbor" greeted their arrival:











"There goes the Neighborhood!":


Comments, critiques, & Endowments for the Arts would be most welcome.

DeafNala you're a continuous inspiration to everyone on this forum!!

[DeafNala]

Thanks MUCHO, Doc! As long as it's not gag reactions that I'm inspiring, that is quite a nice compliment.

[CyberAlien312]

DEafaNAl you're a continuous inspiration to everyone on this forum!!

Agreed! I really like the way those imps turned out, those teeth look eerily creepy.

[DeafNala]

Thanks again, Cyber! It's a good to know I'm contributing to the Community.

I was pleased to see the photos didn't make the Imps look too bad. They do have endearing smiles though.

[Mason]

 

Those scary little buggers look great!
 

The fat, beckoning one is my personal favourite.
He cracks me up.
 

Al: Could I ask what red you used for them?
It would be perfect for Hellboy when I get around to him.
 

[DeafNala]

Thanks, Paul! They were fun Little Buggers to paint; having them well received is a real plus.

I used a base coat of Deep Burgundy & Alizarin Crimson; the highlighting has the Alizarin Crimson mixed with increasing amounts of Pumpkin. These are all Americana paints...I could send you some if they're not available in UK.
