Star Wars

Well, for the past couple of days I have been crouched over an easel using a tiny brush to paint my Star Wars figures. They are not perfect of course. I am afraid their heads may be a little bit to big and Princess Leia, gosh, well to be honest it was nearing the end of the day and her face is SO small that I found it so hard to get any semblance of nose, eyes, mouth (particularly). I would put one little tiny stroke down and wipe away her previously painted eyes, which were okay, or her mouth or something. So I think the photo I post here is just before the final adjustments I made to her face - I tried to give her a mouth but it may have gone awry. It is always hard to know when to stop messing around with something. Next week I think I will do an Optimus Prime and Shockwave face-off (portraits) on bigger canvases so I don't go quite as mad. It is amazing how many times I start talking about my Transformers and how the face of the person I am talking to lights up. Whoever created them I think was genuinely amazing. It has got to the point where I was walking home with a friend last night and we came across a huge roadwork machine and we said wouldn't it be cool if it transformed and made those transforming clicky sounds.
