As long you keep up your fantastic work and want to show us when you can...we'll accept it.
But really you could make real money doing it .

Thanks so much for your kind words, guys, I'm quite honored indeed you think so much of my art. This is really the kind of stuff that keeps me full of initiative, so thank you all
This time around it's... UMBER!
Yes, I said I'd do Verdigris, and I plan to, but I wanted to get another doll done before summer vacation was officially over, and I knew to do that I'd have to choose my simplest character to do. Plus I love Umber so very, very much. He's my second favorite after Edge .
Umber is the Historian of the Council of Syvoria. It's a crappy position that, though one of the 'equal' ten seats of the Syvorian high council, is generally reserved for Councilors who are 'past their prime', be it through mental or physical means. It's for those whose legacy is enough to wish to keep honor to their names by not technically demoting them, but still giving them a place where they can't do much harm. If it's not needed, it just goes to an old guy . Anyway, Umber, however, hates his job. You see, unlike what such a move of position would insinuate, he really is quite competent still. In fact, he has much more impressive credentials and abilities than the person who replaced him... but Umber got on some people's shit lists, and ended up paying a high price for his... well, jackassery. He's vowed to get his job back, but as of so far, zero luck.
He alone of all people in Syvoria has two toes, and there is a reason for that. He is also probably the oldest Syvorian.
My camera's being a fucking whore. I'll try to get a better picture of him tomorrow at school (with my teacher's camera, mmm, teacher's camera!)

His proportions are VERY screwy, but that's intentional to exaggerate how twiggy he is . I'd also post a picture of him without his robe (not dress! Robe!) but I don't know if you'd want to see that. It's very creepy.
He's thinner than Alder and taller than Edge

Oooh, very nice. I particular like that he does not have proper proportions. It gives a great aspect of being more otherworldly and has the sense of just being screwy to the eyes.
Excellent work.

He does have that kind of "Ancient One" air about him.
Very nice.

Camera's still broken, but I thought I'd show off what I do...
... in one day of school.
This is why a lot of teachers think I don't pay attention . I am paying attention! I just multitask ...
Edge has pointy claws!
Edge looks serious, for once.
Quick and big.
Next to a sketch I didn't finish...
Younger Umber looks a bit unhappy....
Imagine why......
The fact that his feet here are clearly hooves and not claws is kind of a minor story-spoiler, but meeeeeh . And he's making a ":wtf:" face. He's very, very full of wrath right there, though he's a bit more careful about getting visibly angry than some. Aww, poor, poor Umber...........

The form of the bottom Umber is simply amazing. Really, if you were to sell these, people would buy them. I would buy them.

Unfortunately, Spanky, I won't take any commissions for dolls at least until the Council set is finished. It's my Senior art project, so it has to take top priority.
Here's Umber, though, with pictures taken at school with a sexy, sexy camera . I want a camera like this one... so nice. So very, very nice.
Here he's just lying down. One of the tips of one of his ears chipped off, so I need to fix it, but it's a very minor thing and unsurprising considering how I toted him around the school (and to a movie. And around town...)
Closeup! I like how his neck came out. His eyes are hematite.
His hand up close
And another sketchdump to show the new stuff!
Shader Concept Sketches (to try to figure out how to draw him )
First concept sketch
Another Shader concept
Full-body concept
And the last Shader concept
Face sketches of a different character.
And some concepts for a character that barely shows up, ever
As for new dolls, both Verdigris and Shader's heads and torsoes are finished.

I like the concept art, Shader looks quite interesting. I wonder though, what are the things on his cheeks?
Wow, you work very quickly. Heck, it would probably take me days to make one of Umber's hands.As for new dolls, both Verdigris and Shader's heads and torsoes are finished.

Verdigris and Shader
And now, since I found my camera cable, Shader and Verdigris! Ta-daa! Who I technically should have made before Umber and Alder considering votes, but oh well. I haven't done the clothes yet; I'll either do that tomorrow or over the course of this next week.
Here's Verdigris, the butch girl who I have a picture of on page 1.
Though you can't tell with these pictures, hooboy... her fingernails, toenails, kneecaps, and elbows are all made of polished stone, from three pairs of hokey earrings I clipped up. That was a pain in the ass, and I'm very much hoping I don't have to do that again. They're of the same material as her horns. I ended up with some cuts on my fingers from working with the sharp edges. I wrapped a bit of gold velvet around her just to avoid "OMG TITS!" comments, with any luck . It makes her looks strangely cavewomanish, which couldn't be less accurate.
She sure has long hair...
A bit of a close-up, plus I gave her two earrings (one on the other side)
In full, without posing.
And now Shader!... Well, where to begin with Shader... Shader's eyes are green cat's-eye-stone (well, colored white ones) irises with black 'whites' which is why they look strage, and white pupils as well. Not really a functional eye, but a pretty one, so I don't care . The scales on his body are tanned rattlesnake scales that I cut out and applied. I love snakes, but this was worth it . And though he has some fur for bulking and bangs, his hair was my greatest sacrifice. That is... because it's... MY hair . Which hadn't been cut for years (it's mostly on back, but also the curls.)
So cute!
Shader poses VERY well .
They'll both get their 'good' photo shoots once they have their clothes all sewn and stuff.
EDIT- Oh, and Ire, they're just markings on his face; they're naturally occurring.

Too bad the artistic shock's never the same after you've already done a few before.
My dolls like trees!
And jungle gyms...
Oooh, backlit goodness. She's got some wild hair, but I draw it like that.
And because I'm silly as hell. They are friends in the story though.
Fucking huge jelly bean though for the size...

As always Pick, Verdigris is simply awesome.
And the craftmanship of her clothing is amazing too.

Backlit image definately cool, there's something very lifelike about that shot. An amazing set, am sure your senior art project is in the highest of bags.
