7.28.13 Scott Pilgrim Full Project Update

Ok, so it's been five months since I did one of these. I blame basketball.

Anyway. 

Back in February, I was still working on. Envy. Since then, I've finished her off, added Stacey Pilgrim and Lynette Guycott, a pig and a duck, and started on one of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks. I figured once I got her neckline on her tank top done, it would be a good spot to stop for an update.

Well.

Over a month between updates. Terribly sorry about that, but once Stacey was finished, it took a while to get anything worth looking at on one of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks. 

Now you can see most of her hair and most of her eyes as well, so you can actually tell what you're looking at. This particular DHC is cut off from view at mid-torso, so it shouldn't take very long to finish her.

Two weeks ago: Stacey didn't even have a nose. 

Today: she has most of her shirt. 

Over there, just to the right of her neck, you can see where the hand of a Demon Hipster Chick will go. 

Off I go to make this picture obsolete....

"Hairy Hero" Gag Gift

The new Superman movie seems to be a bit polarizing. Before it even came out, a twitter friend (Scott Ziolko, whose tumblr is here & you should go look at it) came out strongly against it, due to the chest hair so gauchely sticking out at the top of Supes' outfit...

OH THE HUMANITY.

 Or, as Scott called it, "chest spiders".

And then this happened...

So I decided to make this.

Note the mullet on the left side, I was quite proud of that.

The Wooly Willy toys were on clearance at Micheal's for 49 cents each. I bought a few of those (in case of craft catastrophe), some stuff that cleans stickers off stuff, and some glue, and I was all set.

The artwork that I used and then horribly defaced on the smaller pictures is from this tumblr and you should probably go ahead and follow him if you aren't already. Most of the card I created from scratch in Photoshop, although I did cut and paste the two smaller images near the bottom.

I carefully pulled off the plastic part, collected the little metal shavings, and then removed all the paper residue from the plastic bit. I printed out my new art on card stock, and cut it out and glued it to the existing card. Then I just had to glue the plastic part back down. I used superglue, and that reacted VERY POORLY to the ink on my new artwork, so if I ever do this sort of project again, I will keep that in mind. I glued the bottom down first, then one side, and let that dry a bit. Then I dumped the metal bits back in, and glued down the other two sides. I did get some shavings caught in the glue, but most of the mess is actually printer ink.  Bleh.

Anyway, I'm still pretty pleased with how it turned out...

I am a PHOTOSHOP GENIUS... er... ADEQUATE USER.

 I hope Scott enjoys his new toy!

And let this be a lesson to you that if you say "somebody should make _____" within my hearing/reading, I will probably try to make it.  ;p

BEHOLD!

It's Stacey Pilgrim's eyes!

I'd have more done below her eyes, but I ran out of the 437 thread. So instead, I went back up top & worked on her hair. 

Stacey's pretty small, so the next update might be of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks.

Almost done with Lynette!

All that remains is finishing her left boot. The gap in her right boot is from the horn of one of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks. 

I think up next will be Stacey Pilgrim. That will allow me to work on three of the DHC back to back instead of stitching two and then moving to Stacey. 

5.9.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Ok, so nearly two weeks between updates, huh?

Last update was of the small animals at Todd's feet, so I wanted to get a decent amount done on the next character before the next update. 

The next character is Lynette Guycott, the drummer for The Clash At Demonhead. What you can see is her head (duh), most of her right arm, and most of her right hand. Her left arm might end up going faster, since that's her bionic arm, at least in the drawing that this project is replicating.
