Overnight fimo troll

Actual troll,- not just me disrespecting fimo by night,
Its a bit bent after spending the day at my sons school for his show and tell.
About 27 cm tall.
One again slave master Oscar ( my son) demands of me a sculpey/fimo spiderwick type creature.
Its a bit rough because it was
a) 12.30 at night, 2 and half hours in  and I thought- its just gotta be finished- just do enough and bake the damn thing.
Ideas of finishing face/hands feet/wrinkles  properly  ditched. -Legs a bit rubber hosey- no time. no patience, too much alfoil on armature.
b) I was running out of sculpey- hence executive decision to mix all
I had left together- some brown and some black- a little white.
c) Right hand doesn't know/can't emulate what left is doing.
d) Couldn't find Oscars spiderwick field guide book for reference.- Made webbed feet because if i did long toes they'be snapped off when kids play with it.

Wombat 3

It begins- third installment in the Wombat went a walking series.
Just a couple of roughs because its about a surprise anyway.
These are the very initial roughs by the way.
 On that topic I am going to try and wake from my art zombie stupor, and pull my finger out and get going again.
I hadn't been doing any of my own drawings or anything to improve or sharpen myself  for too long.
Neglected work I'd hoped to do for friends also- because I didn't have time/wasn't coping.
Plus I've been looking at how friends have been charging along and am sorely stung by their good work into action.

Worry Will- roughs

A few of Little Mates "W".
(Am starting on X also. X is tricky.)

The page where Will has the shakes pouring tea will look nothing like this- because the Publisher thinks its too scary, and that the books he's reading are too scary. Which is very disappointing, but what it does mean is that once I'm done with these books I know theres a hole in the market (theirs) waiting for someone to capitalise on it. Ho ho.

Should be a nice book because wombats are nice/inherently funny. Speaking of wombats....see next post.

Dino Hunter roughs

Some roughs featuring a Muttaburrasaurus and an indeterminate pterosaur.
Might ask the writer what pterosaur he meant. They haven't found much of them fossil-wise yet in australia- so that frees me up a little with the head of it.
Rough is the word.

Hobgoblin on demand

 Spiderwick kind of hobgoblin thing.
Demand coming from my son Oscar. A bit rough but that's partially because of the pushy demand to get it done.

Or- what I did while everyone else was having christmas and new years holidays.
Books have arrived. I like book 1 and 3 coverwise.
