Zelda Inspired Art

I've found wire for my Paper Mache Dragon wings!!

I've also covered the body and head. More exoskeleton must be made on the wings before I begin to paper mache them.

Now, since I'm halfway finished the body I had better plan a color pallet.

Hmm.. I'm considering a Pacific Coast Native American-ish combined with the legend of Zelda Wind Waker-ish style.

sort of like this (from Zelda)

(THIS IS NOT MY ART)

I'll have to work on some small paintings in order to figure out exactly what I want.

More to come!

Whale of a Friend

Today

I ran into a wall trying to figure out how to support the paper mache dragon wings.

I have no wire in the house..

So while I was thumping my head against the wall wondering if tooth picks could work, I thought of this..

I was wishing for a friend (preferably with large amounts of wire to spare) who could help me out.

Then I started thinking of how gentle whales are, what a great friend a whale would be.. Strong, sweet, my goodness they even sing! Hmm, the perfect buddy. So I thought about a whale helping out a fishing boat by carrying them into a safe harbor.

So yeah, still figuring out the wing problem, but at least I have my next project lined up.

Cardboard Dragon Sculpture.. Almost

Well, its that time of year again!

Committing to making art everyday for the month of January ( or in my case, the whole year) and I can honestly say I have no fear! It will be a grand year filled with art projects, late nights, and inspiration.

Kicking 2012 off with an experiment in sculpture might be fool hardy to some but I'm trudging ahead with my glue gun at the ready.

Here is how far I've gotten in one day..

First concept art of a dragon-beastly-creature and a cocky rider.

Next I sketched the profile out on a cardboard sheet.

After cutting, I started adding width.

After hours of glue gunning (2 burnt fingers) and cutting, here is my beast!

Later I'll add wings, horns, frills to the beasty and dimension to the rider



After the structure is complete, I'll get my hands dirty with some paper mache!

More to come, but right now Casa Blanca is playing and a bowl of spaghetti is waiting for me.
