DeadMau5 Head

 So after getting tired of painting I decided i needed to make another prop, in this case the iconic Deadmau5 head worn by Joel Thomas Zimmerman. The head is basicaslly a giant mouse head with white eyes and a big smile. Im still poor and a lack of funds im going with the Paper Mache route many have taken. Updated soon!

     

Finally got started on the project. I created a paper mache sphere with an old beach ball which unfortunately popped but luckily it was after the mache had dried so i was lucky with that. Heres a reference shot and i know yes the sphere is not size accurate.

unfortunately here in california the weather took a turn for the worst and it started to rain horribly and getting to 60 degrees which has a huge effect on paper mache so basically the head collapsed after i cut it out but i managed to salvage the ears... gotta start over again hopefully the weather gets better. 

Holiday Painting, Jack & Sally

Recently i got a commission from my friend to make a painting for her aunt who is a huge Nightmare before christmas fan. Her idea was to have Jack and Sally with Zero together on a canvass. I had an extra canvass lying around and decided to take the job! i goofed off for a while which is a no no on my part, but i got pretty far in 2 days of work. Here are some pictures of where im at.

The tricky part was at the time i was completely out of acrylic color paints except white. I decided to improvise and use some water color pencils i had lying around. The effect came out well and they loved the look. Still need to add the hill on the side and finish Sallys face. 

Finished painting! minor details needed

Hover board

recently I was asked to help with something to add to our School yearbook, some sort of picture to make things different. Here is what i gave them! a Hover Board. I wish i had taken progress pictures but it was a tight schedule. the base is made of MDF wood and tinted window pannel as the 2nd layer. The yellow is construction paper and the red and green are painted on. Enjoy!

Masks repainting

A week ago i got a pair of masks at a swap meet. Im not exactly sure of the origin of them but if anybody can tell, please leave a comment to help me out. When i bought these masks they were in decent shape but had alot of scratches, chipped paint and a broken tooth. You can see the scratches and faded paint on the one on the left. The one on the right i decided to just leave it as it is.

I started with the teeth and gave them a fresh coat of white paint. Next came the red all around the mask. Due to my limited supply i had to spray paint some gold into a little cup and use that for the details.

The mask completely painted. I decided to not fix the broken tooth because it helps give character to the mask. The red and Gold were kept as close to the original color as I could but im proud of how it came out.

little side project

one of my drawings i did way back of Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas". i decided to paint it and have something to hang on my wall. For now ive sketched it out and started to paint some of it. enjoy for now!

Sorry about the slow updates... ive been busy rattling my mind at how im gonna do my next project for a cosplay contest. Here are some more pics of the painting so far  enjoy!

couple details left and its finally done. I decided to give the original to a close family friend and started another one for me to keep in a glass frame to keep for my portfolio.
