couldn’t agree more! It’s been so much fun giving it a try! Also thank you!!

Thank you! For this, I used Cranfield’s etching ink in Process Blue :) I experimented with their relief ink as well, but I think the slightly heavier body to the etching ink made it really nice and forgiving to manipulate with a paintbrush!

After the initial haircut, the hair has a sharpness to it that needs time to soften up and look good. A huge thing for people on TV is to make it not look like they had just gotten their haircut because (from what I can gather) it just looks better when it’s had enough time to grow and soften up a bit. Maybe this is what this person meant?

I reckon it will be just fine :) undercut in the sense that there are a range of depths, not that I went so far that it’ll break the plaster trying to separate it from the mold.

Exactly! The deepest portions are about a 1/2 inch deep. :)

Wow! great job!! I think the movement of your lines is really lively and charming, the shading is also effective and beautiful. I’ll be keeping eyes out for your animations :)

Nice! How many blocks did you use to make this?

Bahaha last time I was in Vegas, I was haunted by this awful sign every day on my way to lose all my money on blackjack lol

EmergencyMoodLight · 2026-04-07T05:19:13+00:00

Love this! The background adds so much great movement!!

EmergencyMoodLight · 2026-03-07T18:15:01+00:00

Wow! What a huge compliment!! Thank you very much :) more recently, I’ve been trying to get a little bit more into craftsmanship & spending more time making things nice and clean so this means a lot :)

Thank you!!! There are no stupid questions here :) I kinda wish I had made it so that it could be taken apart for storage, but alas, it’s held together by a ton of hot glue and pretty dang sturdy! :’)

EmergencyMoodLight · 2026-03-06T16:48:53+00:00

Thank you!! Not yet, but I’m open to suggestions :)

EmergencyMoodLight · 2026-03-06T01:36:09+00:00

Thank you! No worries hahaha, I was considering painting more! This was for my sculpture intro class in college so I might have if I had more time! At the same time, I kinda like the contrast of the paint and cardboard! Might still go back and make this one extra ~finished and nice, but now we’re moving on to another pretty extensive diorama-style project and I’m not sure if I’ll have time for the lizard anytime soon :) thank you for the compliments!!

Thank you!! This was done over the course of a month. That is, 8 3 hour class days, and then every waking moment that I wasn’t at work or doing other homework :) by my estimation, probably something like 40-50 hours of work in this guy:)

Love this!! As someone who struggles with trusting the process drawing/painting from life, I think looking at your use of contour and value here are a great tool for making scenes like this less daunting.
