(Don't let Simon see that or you'll never hear the end of it...)

Looks great so far.

I really do think I can see it all coming together. As always, I can't wait for the final result.

Nice detail on the nose, mouth and ears.

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-04-17 09:22pm

Excellent! I certainly can't wait to see it completed.

The eyes, the EYES! it's it's like a rosewell alien. I am assuming the final version will be painted? as the all black eyes of doom, well, kinda creepy!

Thanks everybody

! I'll try to, uhm, find a leprechaun or something soon so you can see him with his lovely locks

. I appreciate your comments!

He is painted

. You can actually see the different tones when you get to the back of the head (or the silly zombie sculpture behind him.) Or you could just look at his oh-so-subtlely lanvender lips.

Umber is horrifically pale with the exception of his eyes, horns, and 'nails.

Spiderweb. How appropriate.

Edge isn't a villan.
You keep saying that, but this sort of work isn't helping your case.

Edge is many-eyed, red-horned, pointy-eared, clawed and fanged. Visually, there's not a whole hell of a lot I can do to help on this one

Nice blah blah blah.

IN PROGRESS:

Wow, I didn't know just how close you have it to all coming together.
With all his bits and such on, and with the proper coloring, he should look fantastic.

A nice start on the painting. Good luck with the neck, that looks like a difficult fix.

Is Umber to scale, or are those aerosol cans really tiny? Or am I blind?

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-04-20 04:31am

I'm certainly looking forward to the completion of this piece. Also, Pick, why does your bed appear to be some sort of fur rug? I thought only the Norse had those, but hey.

Umber is full scale

. He stands at six foot two (1.9m or so). He'll be about three inches taller than that once his horns are on.

I am not exactly sure how I went from being a girl with a bed to a girl with an alpaca rug on the floor, myself

. It's pretty comfy, though, and it means that there is way more space in my room since I can shove it out of the way very easily.

Hey, it just adds a layer of eccentricity to your persona as a drop dead awesome artist. Like Van Gogh, but not as emo.

Just, um, keep sharp objects away from your ears.

No good. I trimmed them down with an exacto knife.

Ooooh, the blood-filled ears attached to my organic head.

Okay, wait, back up the truck...

If I got the gist right, Pick, you essentially sleep on a rug on the floor?

By the way, Ford, van Gogh was more than just eccentric or "emo." It's widely believed that he was manic depressive or schizophrenic (mind though that he only painted during his lucid states).
