Tron Papercraft Build Photos

These are a couple of photos of my Tron papercraft designs built by DeviantART members. On the left is my full size Tron helmet papercraft built by supermagicfunguy. On the right is my Tron Legacy identity disc papercraft built by MasqueradeLover. This was MasqueradeLover's first papercraft build ever. Not an easy first build, but she did a great job! Nice work guys!

Great Photos = Great Pet Portraits!

I know I sound like a broken record, but my very best pet portraits seem to always start from really great photos.  I just got Pippa's proofs on-line and I am very pleased with this little Puggie.

 I had 2 things working in my favor here and the first is a stunning high resolution original image, the 2nd is good communication.  The client specified that she liked Bubba the Pug, so I knew she would not be afraid of color. I opened up Bubba and made sure to include some of the orange strokes and yellow tones on Pippa's artwork. You can see Bubba below.

Taking Good Pet Photos:

I know that during the holidays getting a great photo of a pet that is not yours can be a challenge. I can work from almost any image that is a minimum of 500K. I have started a photo tips section on the blog and next year I plan to really start adding to that each week. 

Doggy Collars

I love painting the dog collars on my subjects. Sometimes people ask me to remove dog tags or collars in their paintings and I will reluctantly do so. I happen to love dog collars and little heart or boned shaped tags. To me they say "love". They tell me that this dog is so important they need to be protected with a tag and they need a nice sturdy collar that looks good on them.  The first thing we did when we adopted Whitman was go to the store and get him a tag and a collar.  Ah yes, Whitman.......... I promise to take a short break from creating pet portraits this weekend so I can shoot some pics of our new puppy for the blog.  He is at the vet right now with Dan getting set up with heart worm preventative, microchip and so on. I feel guilty this time of year because I spend so much time in front of the computer working on art. The pups don't mind too much, at least I am at home doing my work. The good news is Dan will be off the week after next and he plans to spend a lot of time teaching our new boy a few commands. He may also get roped into stretching a few canvases ... we shall see.

Chibiterasu Papercraft

Here is an awesome Chibiterasu papercraft by Lyrin-83, one of the most talented papercrafters on DeviantART (in my humble opinion ^^). Lyrin created the 3D model and the textures for the papercraft template all "from scratch" rather than using a 3D model extracted from a video game. Chibiterasu is the young wolf from the Nintendo DS game Okamiden which is a sequel to the Playstation 2 and Wii game, Okami. Lyrin has provided a link to the template for this paper model here.

Countdown .... Countdown to Christmas Deliveries!  It looks like I have 13 more projects from November to finalize and that is going to happen by this coming Tuesday December the 7th. So if you ordered a pet portrait some time in November I am going to be working all weekend to make sure I have you proofed by this Tuesday.  That gives us 17 whole days to get it through the mail system .... I think we will be more than ok.  YAY!!!!  
 ...................
As I keep saying .... relax if you are waiting on a proof or an update... I promise it will happen. If you made a payment and you gave me a workable photgraph I am going to take care of you.
......................
Once I have taken care of everyone that ordered by posted deadlines I will start proofing people that are calling and trying to slip in after the posted deadlines.  My goal is to finish out November this weekend and we will then see what is possible in December.

Lost in Space Papercraft: Landing Pod

Ron Caudillo is a well known designer of science fiction paper models. His Star Trek TOS models of the USS Enterprise and its bridge have delighted Trek fans since 2003. Less well known perhaps is his papercraft model of the landing pod from the 1960's televisionshow, Lost in Space. The pod was introduced in the third season of the show as a means to transport the crew of the Jupiter 2 spaceship down to the surface of alien planets. Pendercrafts.com has made the template for the LIS pod available in a zip file. The zip file also includes numerous Caudillo designs including paper models of: military vehicles, several BattleBots, a bus, puzzle cubes, a few office machines, as well as the aforementioned Star Trek models. Look for the download link at the bottom of the page here.
