Make sure that the red side of your glasses is over the left eye.

This is my first experiment using stereoscopic imaging and let me just say that I love it! I will definitely be making 3d versions of my new illustrations in the future but for now please enjoy my random experiments and let me know what you think.

Happy New Year Everyone! Here is the final illustration that I’ve been working on of the three ladies.

View work in progress here.

I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday! Best wishes for the new year!

I finished the last character for the illustration that I’m working on. Now there is just the background to do. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of the week. Hope you all like it!

This is the second character for an illustration that I’m working on. There is still one more old lady and the background to make to complete this illustration. She was constructed the same as the last old lady. It is made from Sculpey, foam, Apoxie and fabric, she is about 12″ tall.  Check back for the next character!!

This is what the first character looks like for my new illustration. There are still two more characters to go. I’ll post process shots soon.

Here is the old lady in her undergarments. I don’t always add “undergarments” but the fabric that I’m going to use for the shirt is a bit see-through so it was necessary.

I’ve added a detailed pic of the face and hair. I still have to finish painting the eyes and darken her roots, but it’s coming along nicely.

Above is a pic of the wire frame. I’ve added Apoxie to the connecting points just to make them a bit stronger. That way when I’m posing her the Sculpey doesn’t break, which happens sometimes because Sculpey is brittle.

I haven’t really posted other people’s work on my blog yet. When I saw this video about the Alberta Tar Sands by Montreal animators Dale Hayward and Sylvie Trouve (La Moustache) I just had to spread the word!

Fantastic illustrations by James Braithwaite and a subject I care about come together beautifully in this video.
