hmmm

Here's the problem I'm attempting to deal with at the moment. I have too much to write about. I want to write about everything. I also want to use a shorter blog name, so I'm thinking of going with Cupcakes and Unicorns, which is my Etsy store name as well.
I need to take pictures and design my blog, I don't like the whole plain look, but I have a little black rain cloud in the creativity portion of my brain. I know what I want to do, but I'm not sure how to accomplish everything. I need to just man-up and figure it out, instead of whining about it.

I did get my model and his hounds based and glossed, so I have at least accomplished that. And I promise that my next post will have pictures of this small feat. I also added tiny mushrooms, a stump and some flowers the bases, because I didnt like the plain grass look...

So, I'm sorry for not posting frequently. I'm still trying to figure out if I want to make seperate pages for each subject, or just post them all on the same one... Thanks for being patient.

Zombies, Goblins, and Ghouls... Oh my!

Yesterday, instead of spending my time pimping out my blog (like I had previously suggested), I finished painting my model Orion (Link), and started on his hounds.




I painted the model before I assembled him, in order to be able to paint more detail. I'm pretty happy with the finished product. Well, except that I received some constructive criticism yesterday about highlighting his features. Now, I will teach myself highlighting and more than likely obsess and still not be completely satisfied.




I will post more photos of the finished model as soon as I finish the base details. Because I like to go beyond what is expected, I'm going to be adding tiny mushrooms to the base. I made these using polymer clay and will (hopefully) bake and paint them tonight.

Last night, was our second round of Dungeons & Dragons (I already feel like a huge nerd, telling people that I play D&D). We played from around 8:30pm until 4:30am, which left me exhausted and too tired to post. My character is an Elven Ranger, which means that I have a longbow, and I'm kinda wimpy. I'm more of a stay in the shadows and shoot kind of character. We also have a Cleric, a Sword Mage, and a Fighter. Last night we had a magician as well, for a couple of the encounters, because a friend showed up.


As for food, well last night was leftover spaghetti and meatballs from the night before, and tonight we met some of Chris's family out for dinner. Crawfish! FINALLY! I've been craving them for two months now... They were delicious, and I'm so full...

In crafting news, I've been commissioned by a friend to create a necklace, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm too tired to start tonight, but maybe I will get a start on drawing it up, or at least thinking it through tomorrow.

I hope all of you are having great weekends!
