    A couple of collages on Elektra (yes, the movie... don't tell my mom, but I've been a Jennifer Garner fan for quite a while):




    In my slowly growing collection of collage works, first one featuring Charlotte Wessels (frontwoman of Delain), and first work featuring a brand new logo (the little thing down the bottom right corner intended as sort of a signature). Unsure of how to call the resulting aspect, I think it somehow resembles a set of burns on a reddish background... maybe similar to a pyrograph?:


    Two attempts to get some dragons out of Simone's ginger mane (Simone Simons, Epica, also wearing a certain logo):

    Thank you, Max! That's so sweet. I love my 10! Recycled materials have come a long way. I really enjoy working with them. Surprisingly soft, they are.

    Very interesting outer space plushies, Varenne. Plushy Yoda would be in high demand I'd think if you could make enough of him.

    Max has been creating intense collages - I agree the hair dragons are something else. Strange effect coming from her eye. I think you may be better off with a more subtle X-shaped burst centered just on the highlight - only if it's realism you're after though, like this:

    Neato! I love the blue. I'm imaging all sorts of things about the crossbeams in the sky.

    I did get quite a few requests for Yodas for this holiday. I've been working all day every day. I sent out the last of the orders, so now I can take a little break.

    I'm so sorry about your fridge, Mystyry. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me.

    Speaking about blue, I've been feeling blue for the past two hours, and then I see Mystyr's blue work as though someone had been reading my blue mind... life seems full of curious coincidences, doesn't it?

    Thanks for the comment and suggestion, Mystyr... so sorry about your fridge Hope you have it repaired soon enough!

    Var, as soon as I find some cash I'll order a Yoda for my daughter... provided I manage to get me a daughter first

    Thanks for you concern all, but the fridge can wait. Last year's ice cream situation was dire anyway, so I'll repair it over a long lazy time and in the interim I've bought a proper freezer - guaranteed to make ice blocks and keep icecream at the right texture and I won't have to go shopping quite so often (there'll be a bit of thawing out though, I can tell)

    I was looking for an overhead monorail structure model, couldn't find a free one, so was exploring the shapes at my disposal when this appeared like a 3D crop circle thing

    Haha. Thank you, Max.

    Mystyry, that's one of my favorite ones yet!

    Good. You have most of the problem figured out

    Very fine exploration. Lovely pungent colors!

    I ran into a curious mutation called Fishmiley. It seems the mutation came as a surprise, judging by the expression in the poor creature's face, which made me think it would feel a tad better in a fishbowl. I'm interested in knowing if it looks real enough, especially the bubbles and water environment. I intended the fishbowl as one made of light blue glass:

    Thankyou Varenne


    Thankyou Sancho


    Thankyou Max


    Ultimately the spheres will become half cylinders or elongated blocks all locked together the grass a city and the hill perhaps mountains. When I get time. Cool sky though, huh?


    Mutated fish in light blue fish bowl good, but I think the fish needs to preserve its original colour (sorry if I seem to be critical lately, just aspects of my life are causing me to be). Can you take the cut out original and place it over the one in the bowl (after you copy the two slightly obscuring bubbles) possibly. Also the table: meh - a mantelpiece with objects on it though...
