Ye Olde Arty Tymes

This was originally going to contain pictures of the Cardboard Tube Army project, but my camera's batteries are dead and I can barely afford new ones, so that'll have to wait.


Cineris, if you're reading this, I'm pretty sure you should skip this entry since you want what lies within to be a surprise. You have been warned! I would post something else, but this is really all I have that's recent enough.


So anyway. Here's sort of a steampunk cyborg girl thing that I'm doing as an extremely belated gift to a friend (I don't even remember if it's a Christmas gift or Birthday gift...aiii). It's in two pieces right now, you'll notice--the girl herself and a wing. In the final product I'll duplicate and flip the wing and position them in the proper spot on the girl.

I think her legs are a little longer than they need to be and I'm not quite sold on the miniature top hat yet, but there are lots of other details I managed to come up with that I liked. I know it's small here, but some of the stuff I'm particularly happy with includes the gear-knee and glass portion of the mechanical leg, that weird ornate little winding mechanism on the sternum, and the little rods going under the surface of the part where the mechanical forearm meets its organic upper arm. Her pose is supposed to look sort of dance-ish...it looks a little silly to me right now but hopefully will make more sense when the wings are in place.
Naturally, this all still needs to be inked and coloured as well.

Here's the wing. Not perfect but there's plenty of it that I liked and I tried to at least make the struts and joints look functional. I like the little exhaust/steam pipes up towards the top. The little bulbs on the outer edge are going to be vacuum tubes.
So...yeah. Yay. Hopefully this'll come together...I have a bad tendency to get overly nervous when it comes to inking and just plain lazy when it comes to colouring.
Holden Out.
