Basically DogTired Sent out some whistles/Ocarinas with the brief of Pimping them anyway we could then posting back to her.

Green Stuff was applied over the whistle before being painted.

Card Flame WIP - Waiting for the final piece to dry

The scan is pretty ropey but conveys what I have just done - the paint is barely dry, and could do with a few more coats to erase the marker outlines - The concept seems to have worked out okay in 3d so I just need to find an application for it.

Card Flame WIP - Not enough card to finish the job!

It's not exactly what I had planned but I found some free time in between ironing, searching for a new home and having a tasting for my upcoming wedding and have started the process of changing a Moleskine doodle to a full fledged piece of art.

My usual source of material, cat food boxes, was the place to start along with the trusty Sharpie. using the original Moley doodle as a rough guide I marked out the outline the cut around with a scalpel.

Updated Still no movement with this, With a wedding and a move on the horizon I am finding very little time to get anything completed.

The various pieces of card are then stacked in a 3D'ish manner - I am hoping that this turns out okay.

I just need to get my Cats some more food so I can pillage the packaging to complete this first stage. then I can look at painting, then sticking, the finished pieces together.

Updated. Thanks to my extremely greedy cats I have all the pieces I need. Painting should start pretty soon, followed by assembly.

Tinkering around with Indian Ink and cleaned/Coloured In Photoshop.

It's a bit lazy to produce this in PS when I could just as easily contrived this with some 'real' media, so lazy that I produce quite a few in the space of a couple of hours. Useful, they act as tests and I am quite positive that I will transfer the idea over to canvas.
