…I keep on trying

…I repainted an old sketch

Unbelievable…but there aro so many colors available in PS! Even in the dark areas.

Still not the end of the road. No, wait! I still can see my starting point! Damn it!

…I`m getting better and better with colors.

…I took an old character…

…and painted it with new color-understanding! I`m pretty satisfied with the result but there are still areas like the shirt and the arms that doesn`t look right.

Why so serious? hehe

…I found some really great tutorials about color theory and compositing

Now everything seems a little bit clearer to me but I still need a lot of practise.

…I found someone on my balcony

Let me introduce you to the thirst full functionally puppet with the name Timmy#12. I´m pretty sure that this guy is not the last one.

…a sunny day come to my mind

I played around with different brushes in photoshop and after a hour I got this…

…I thought “Schaumlatex is a Hund!”

After several foam latex casts with zombian results I desided to make another mold. I guessed that the problem had something to do with the silicon mould, so I made one out of fibreglass resin. The mould was a success, but the results were the same, as you can see. I can`t tell which puppet came out from the new mould but the fact is that they are shit.

Luckily I had an expert who thaught me something about the chemical reactions within the mould. Equipped with this new wisdom I tried it again and got much better results. I still have to make some experiments but now I`m pretty optimistic that everything will work out fine….some day!

…I made a great discovery!

I found out, that “Kitsch” is also used in the english language. But of course this has nothing to do with todays picture.

After 3 hours and no plan what to do next I placed this picture in my “still need practise” folder.

…I tried a portrait…

The inital sketch was about 5×5 mm. Then I made a bigger sketch as you can see here.

From this point on I worked the whole thing out in photoshop. My grandfather saw the picture and told me that he would look like Rasputin. So I googled Rasputin and tatatata, he had a beard too! So I name this guy Rasputin Junior.
