Five Nights at Freddy's

        Five Nights at Freddy's is an indie horror game created by Scott Cawthon.  You start off as a security guard working the night shift for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.  Pretty much its one of my worst fears as a child come in the form of a video game.  Let me shed some light as to why for those of you who stumble upon my post who never experienced the sheer and utter joy of what it was like going to Chuck E Cheese in the 80's.  I loved it! There was pizza and you ran around jumping from one game to another.  I even remember there were mini arcades that were kid sizes. What's not to like.  I remember waiting around to actually watch the animatronics move.  When they finally did it was pretty darn creepy.   Feel free to search "Chuck E Cheese 80s" under images on the internet or even youtube.  They are creepier than I remember. (heebie-jeebies).  

Scott Cawthon did a fantastic job capturing that inner fear of what if these child friendly characters that we grew up with actually had free will to move.  The other part of the fear for me lies where you as the security guard are pretty much stuck in a room waiting for these things to come to you at any given time.  The only thing keeping them from you are these electric powered steel doors.  But there's a catch. You can only use so much power before the generator cuts off.  If and when it does you are completely helpless in the dark where you wait your doom. 

Sounds like a dream job.

With that being said and Halloween just right around the corner I thought I would make my own Freddy Fazbear  head.  Yup just the head.   

Oh, I made Chica too :D

Clickers

                    It's finally October and you know what that means.  That's right! Halloween and all things spooky and pumpkin flavored everything.  I thought I would make a few Halloweeny (yup making up my own words here)  themed post. 

 The inspiration for this one, if you couldn't tell by the small hint from the title, comes from probably one of my ALL time favorite games The Last of Us.   For me this game was everything I look for in a game.  The story was great, beautiful graphics, the voice acting was on point, I was on the edge of my seat... Ugh so good! I played this game for like 3 days straight. I just couldn't walk away from it.  Ok I can go on for days about this game but I'll stop right there. 

 Ok back to the Clickers.  If you haven't played this game it's about a fungus type of virus that spreads and causes a zombie-like apocalypse.  There's more to it but seriously play this game or read up on it if you want to find out more.

 The Clickers are what humans turn into when exposed to the virus for a long period of time.   The fungus grows and takes over a majority of their face causing blindness.  They use a clicking sound to find their way around kind of the same way bats use sound.

before adding the details

This one was just a last minute thing I wanted to make for myself .  Riley's Firefly pendant.  

All items are made from Polymer Clay and painted with Acrylic paint.  

Regular Show: Mordecai & Rigby

The Regular Show is one of our favorite shows here in our house.   It was hard to pick which character to make because they are all great in their own way.  I want to make them all eventually.  I figured I would start with the two main characters Mordecai and Rigby.

First up Mordecai

 

He measures about 6 1/2 in tall

Besides needing to add a couple of layers more of paint and applying a neater paint job, I'm pretty happy with the way he turned out.  He is definitely one of my favorite characters on the show.

Up next Rigby.

I made two versions. 

He measures 3 1/2 in tall

Here's why.  I made his face very one-sided.  When you see one side of his face he looks fine.  When you view him from his other profile his snout is off to the left side of his face. In other words it's not centered.   meh.

Rigby Take 2

Oooohhhh!

I decided on a different pose altogether.  I was really short on brown clay so I had to make him a tad smaller.  He measures about 2 1/2 in tall.

Here you can see the height and snout difference.  I wish the one on the left was a bit more taller and I wish I had made the one on the right snout more centered.  Overall I'm at peace with how they turned out.   Even though he's shorter I really like the pose on the left.  So in a way something good came out with me messing first Rigby up :)

The trio

All 3 were created with polymer clay. Painted with acrylic paint and a coat of Triple Thick glaze.

Baby Groot

Ok I couldn't resist.  It was bound to happen.  Even though I have yet to see Guardians of the Galaxy (ducks and hides under the nearest table).  I know I know, the movie is awesome.  I am constantly reminded by my husband and oldest daughter.  I missed out cause I have a 3 yr old who I refuse to take to the movies because lets face it... that's not fun for anyone.  I'm ok with catching it on DVD.  It gives me something to look forward to.  Nothing beats cuddling up on the couch in jammies (yeah I said jammies) kicking back and watching a movie in the comfort of your own home.

Did I mention my daughter fell in love with Groot so when our heroes LOOTCRATE arrived this month guess who she claimed?  (For all you LOOTERS out there you already know).  So now the exclusive Funko-Pop! Groot that was featured, is on a shelf in her room.  Which is perfectly fine because I know she'll take good care of him  :) 

I took the opportunity to make one of my very own. It's nowhere as cute as Funkos version but hey I gave it a shot. 

Outside with natural lighting

Well I tried to make him look like he was dancing.  Not sure how well or obvious I was able to execute that but nonetheless he's small and cute (to me anyways) and he's gonna be my new desk buddy.

 

 With only 2 hrs of sleep the last 2 days I'm running on fumes so I will say thanks for stopping by! I'm off to catch 2 more hours of sleep, if I'm lucky, before I have to start my day all over again!

*Sorry for any typos that I may have missed*

Adventure Time and Olaf

In the past I've featured the ladies of Adventure Time. First I started with  Fionna & Princess Bubblegum. Second was Marceline the Vampire Queen.  And the most recent was Flame and Lumpy Space Princess and Cake.  

This time I thought I would do one featuring some of the guys with a special guest. ^_^

 First I'll start with one of the main characters from the guy crew.

Finn

 

 Next Up 

Jake

 

Ice King

And last but not least someone who is not from the same universe but I was making these guys for a special friend and her family and I wanted to make this particular character just for her. ♥

 (thank you for being so patient with me guys!)

Happiness is within You

Happiness...there really isn't one true definition.  Everyone's interpretation is different.  There will be others out there who will try and steer you away from it or even try to drag you down to a dark place,  away from anything that makes you genuinely happy.  Sometimes it's because others don't agree with whatever it is that brings joy to your life.  Sometimes it's for no rhyme or reason.  

Just remember...It's your life not theirs.

 You can't please everyone. You can't dim the light on your own happiness simply cause someone decides not to light theirs.

So continue to pursue yours because you are worth it.

That's what this little bear represents.  Me choosing to follow my own path. My own Happiness.

I already updated this picture 3 times. Probably most likely for sure I'll be updating it again in the near future.  :D

Spiderman Plushie

This month I worked on a Spiderman plushie for my nephew. ｡^‿^｡

Little man was happy.  It was well worth it.  ❤

Update: Fan art

I just redid the same picture as posted before but in color.  I gotta say it looks way more fabulous now.

:D

Still not perfect but I personally prefer this one than the black and white one. 

This one just took a day to do which doesn't make sense considering the other one took me a couple of days. :/ 

Off to give my eyeballs a much needed rest.

Have a Fab Day!

Practice - test subject 1 - Markiplier

The past 2 months I've been messing around in photoshop with my first (real) test subject, myself.  I did a self pic and just went all out and did whatever I wanted, not caring if I messed up my face too bad.  In other words I didn't have to worry about offending anyone if it didn't turn out so good. This time I tried drawing someone else and I gotta say it took me waaaaay longer to do this simple black and white picture.  5 days to be exact.  Why? cause I'm a noob and I used a mouse instead of a drawing tablet which my husband has.  Unfortunately he can't find the CD that contains all the drives to it so I can install it to my PC :/  I'm an impatient person so instead of waiting for the cd to magically show up I just jump right in and started to put in some work to this particular picture. Plus I gave myself a time limit because I have other projects that I have to start....like...tomorrow. Actually looking at the time, 1:18am as I type this, later today when I wake up.  o_o 

I decided to go out of my comfort zone and try a not-so-traditional pose.  

Ok I'll share a little secret with the world. If you can even call it that,  When I'm working on stuff like polymer clay, just drawing or in photoshop I like to 1. Listen to music 2. Watch/listen to Youtube game playthroughs. 
The one I find myself always going to first is Markipliers channel.  I can't tell you how many times I've laughed and even cried of both from laughter and his touching words.  Without realizing, he's motivated me to do what I do now. There were times when I would get into such a funk that days,  sometimes weeks would go by and any motivation or creativity would just be non-existent.  Finding his channel and watching his vlogs couldn't have come into my life at a better time.  I am more grateful to him than he will ever know.  ♡

Ok enough of the sappy stuff :'), so about a month ago I was watching his play through of a game called "Knock, Knock".  When I came to episode 9 of the series around 10:28 into the video this face happens.

This was quite nerve-racking or is it nerve-wracking? I mean I know my face but someone else's face? Not to mention the expression on his face was so animated.  How am I going to capture that?..in photoshop with noobish photoshop skills.
Well, I'm always looking for a challenge (Insert foot in mouth)

Throughout the whole time I'm thinking it needs more contrast.  Than there was too much in certain areas. I originally wanted to add color to the background, then along the way I decided to do it all in black and white.  For 5 days I kept telling myself CONTRAST, CONTRAST, CONTRAST!   It still feels incomplete to me but as far as my caveman err cavewoman skillz go this is as good as its gonna get.  Maybe it needs more CONTRAST.  I'm choosing to step away from it.  Take a long break from it and hopefully once my skills improve I can go back and work on it some more.

Did I mention he does charity live streams?
Well he does. As a matter of fact he has one THIS Saturday 7/12/

for Best Friends Animal Society
 If you want to help check out this video, follow him on twitter or facebook where I'm sure he'll be giving out further info on the event through out the week.

  It's 3am and sleep calls for me. 
Good Night/Good Day to all.

Ender Dragon

This month my oldest daughter celebrated her birthday.  For her special day she wanted an Ender Dragon to go on top of her cake.   Now for those of you who don't know what an Ender Dragon is it's basically well, a dragon, that happens to be the biggest mob boss you will face in a game called Minecraft. 

The key word here being biggest.  Which means this was going out of my comfort zone as far as scale goes. Which is a good thing!  I mean how else am I going to learn if I don't push myself every now and then right? Right!

In the end my birthday girl was very happy! Mission accomplished •ᴗ•

Measures 10.5 inches from wing to wing (width)  8 inches from head to tail (length)
