Continued: FOOMI (The Sakura Water Pygmy)

Remeber the KidRobto Foomi I got for Christmas? Well I've finally got my primer and sorted out the acrylic paints and he is getting a little bit closer to completion every day. Here's what I've done so far:

Primed and ready for some sweet colors...

Rough colors and super rough on the body lol...

Working on the head...

Head is more or less done just need some fine tuning in places but we' getting there. Wish I had glass eyes instead of just modeled eyes. But I will use glass eyes on my next one instead.

Here is the beginning when I started sculpting if you missed that one: LINK

I have decided to call him "The Sakura Water Pygmy"

The Making of Foomi...

Oh! I am so happy that I had time to do this today. Should probably have cleaned the house, but neh! creativity comes first! So Foomi is getting closer to completion. I finished sculpting today and he's been baked and sanded too! So all I need to do now is to get some primer to give it a nice white finish and get rid of the scratches from the sand paper and then it is PAINTING TIME! Can't wait! Hope I wont mess him up though... <3

A Good Day...

 Good Morning world! Today is a good day! I have been feeling a bit down lately, mainly because I am an expert in stressing myself out over things that I shouldn't stress about. As you know I have been extremely busy during November and December. I worked really hard to keep my customers happy. Now many orders have been delayed by the postal system and there is nothing I can do about it. But I have had a few angry emails and I have let them get to me in a way that I shouldn't. I take set backs really hard though and I blame myself and let it take over. I need to learn to handle these things as it will happen again. Anyway, yesterday I had a good cry and a chat with my boyfriend who always pick me up when I am down. I have decided to stop taking things personally and work harder on being as happy and cheerful as I can be. So after a good night sleep I feel a million dollars again!

I had a couple of sleepless nights before last night and got some art done anyway. I am trying to explore different art styles to update my commercial portfolio. I've wanted to be part of an Art Agency for a while now, but since I have mainly focused on digital painting I think it might be a bit to complicated and not what companies look for when they look for a Graphic Designer. By joining my tattoo design knowledge with my digital art and creating something that I have never done before, I think I've come up with a pretty cool style. We'll see what happens, but I will definitely keep working on it. I think they would be nice art prints as well.

Also, I was given my first KidRobot DIY Vinyl Toy for Christmas! A 7" FOOMI! Best Christmas present EVA! Lol! I have started to sculpt his face as you can see, but there is still a few things I need, to be able to complete him. I was just so eager to start on him that it was the first thing I did when we came home after Christmas. Can't wait to finish him!

Today if time allows I will start Tomo's newest product as well. I can't say what it is just yet, since I don't know exactly what it will look like. However I will keep you up to date on the progress!

Oh and also I have updated my work area with a new bookcase and a whiteboard to help me being more organized! Do you like it? I love it!
