Making of Mrs Brisby

 

Doing this with acrylic was quite fun, from drawing the design in a piece of paper, to painting the layers, doing shadows, lines and the thorns to decorate around it. Loved it!

The Secret of NIMH - Mrs Brisby

 

Mother´s day was yesterday. Mrs. Brisby from "The Secret of NIMH" represents motherhood at its finest, and it's one of my mother's old time favorite movies. Together with the fact that my nickname is "Rat" at home, this made the perfect gift for this day. She liked it a lot and I myself am pretty pleased with how it turned out. 

I did some green "thorns" around the edges of the box to decorate it a little bit.

Using acrylic is awesome, giving you quite vivid colors to play with. I'm glad I decided to make this.

Message container

August 17th 2015 I gave this to a friend with an "official apology" inside it because he showed me around Bath, a city he had praised for a long time and I had questioned his words. The letter itself was easy enough, but I wanted the container to be quite something. I basically wanted to show off and achieve that objective I believe. The seal is from my hometown and it was made with paper while the rest is made with cardboard sewn together and with some glue in strategic places just in case. I broke two needles doing this and my fingers were quite sore after a whole afternoon, but I was pretty pleased with the final product. Although, as always, I felt I overdid it a little bit, but I like to do stuff like this every once in  while for friends.

Heroes VI - Juggernaut

Last one of this series. I had lots of fun with the muscles, which brings me to probably try and do more anatomy studies of muscle and tendons.
I'm quite pleased with the feet and the horns.

Heroes VI - Lacerator

I didn't enjoy this one too much. The spikes were a little bit of a pain, but the tendons and muscles once again were lots of fun, as the shadows, although they were quite hard to tell from the concept art. Cool-looking creature, but not my favourite at all.

Heroes VI - Succubus

I am nto happy with her body, but I enjoyed the hair a lot... I like drawing hair. The wings, which normally are lots of fun, are alright, but nothing too spectacular. I changed the face to make her look a little bit more intimidating. She also belongs to the Hell race.

Heroes VI - Maniac

Quick movements. I didn't want to spend too much time in the chains. The muscles were incredibly fun to draw. This creature is from the Hell race.
It's like a slim demon figure
