blackspeeker's arts & crafts (now building miniatures)

[blackspeeker]

So I've recently started an etsy (wont link to it because I'm unfamiliar with advertising rules on the forum), but I still want people to see my work so I went back to my old stomping grounds deviant art and made a new account. I'm going to post my old account along with the new one to showcase my growth. So yeah, let me know what you think, I'll end this before I start to ramble.

So here is the old devart which goes back to sophomore year of highschool to junior year of college:

and the new which is from my last semester at ECU in december, I'll be honest I was watching a lot of walking dead when I made this:

These are pretty good, but... if I may ask, what was happening in the untitled picture of the first link?

Pretty cool!

@Josie, thanks!

That image was a trick of the light, somehow I fiddled with the exposure on a camera without knowing what I was doing while camping at night, that was the outcome


new stuff is going up up

An update for those interested, I'm in the midst of a massive photo-dump today. Also I got some great news last week and have been commissioned to make figurines for a friends girlfriend and I'll be posting them as I progress.

Very cool, but I can't see the last picture. Mind if I ask how long it takes for each?

You should be able to see the third image by now

In truth it varies by quite a bit, some took 5 or 10 minutes others took half an hour to an hour (granted on the ones that really get up there in time I am distracted by something in the studio, people, or hulu). I can think of a few that took less than a minute

Heads that took from half an hour to an hour

Heads that took around 30 or a bit less:

I have about a hundred new heads put up on my site, and a WIP of a beholder (friends and I want to start making our own models)

Pretty good, but the main eye looks a bit odd. I think it's a bit too far up and looks as if it were out of the eyesocket.
