Adventures in the 3rd Dimension!

It is semi late... a bit before midnight where I live. I'm working on homework, but surprisingly, I'm having lots of fun! Why you ask?

BECAUSE I'M SCULPTING! YAY!!!

Yeah, I really love working on 3D stuff, and one of my biggest projects this quarter is all about sculpted characters for a story I created called "The Potty Mouth". Strange name, huh? Ha ha ha! It gets better. "The Potty Mouth" is about a little girl named Ramona who is bullied by this oaf named Ralphie while she's playing with her stuffed animal. At first, Ramona is all sad and crybaby-ish, but then she decides to do something about this injustice! What does she do?? She wishes for her fairy godsister to come and punish Ralphie for being mean, of course. Rhododendron appears, uses her magic on Ralphie and... ah, well... I don't want to ruin the rest of the story, but of course, wackiness ensues which I'll sum up in one word: sentient body parts. Huh? That wasn't one word...

Two words: Learn to count, lady!

Don't get the wrong idea when I say sentient body parts! My story isn't some weird remake of Idle Hands for unsuspecting kids!!! That movie is pretty bad, by the way. I wouldn't recommend it.

Possessed hand? Gimme a break...

HAHA! Sentient body parts looks so goofy typed out. I guess I'll just spill the beans about the rest of the story so that things start to make a little sense. Where was I? Oh, yeah! Rhodo does her fairy magic on Ralphie to teach him a lesson (since bullying is wrong), but she messes up! Instead of zipping up his mouth or just making him be quiet, her magic makes Ralphie's mouth pop off and become an entity all it's own. Well, the mouth turns on Ralphie, making fun and calling HIM dumb names. Ramona feels bad about this, so she decides to make amends by helping Ralphie catch his mouth, teaching it a lesson, and also putting it back where it belongs: on Ralphie's face! After their adventure, Ralphie, Ramona, and Rodo become friends. Ah... I love happy endings.

The cloud is a poof for when the mouth goes back to normal!

silly mouth

phbblthlthbbthprbl!

This is the mouth or monstrosity, as he's affectionately known. I've got them doing different poses, two for each scene of my story. I made them out of sculpy, which is one of my favorite mediums now. Once I've got the right form, I boil them, sand them a bit,  and then paint them with acrylics. After I finish the other mouths, I will make my kid characters as well. Here are my sketches for the kids! They're kind of silly, but so is the story.

Meanie...

Rhodo the fairly cute fairy.

This is Ramona, the spunky one!

There's still so much work to do. I'll just have to keep chugging along at a steady pace. I'll try and post more of this as I go along. I love seeing it come together, and I hope others will, too.

That's it for me. Until next time! <(*-*<)
