    Oil pastels??

    Just wanting to get opinions and experiences of those who have used oil pastels. I've been messing with alkyds lately and really like the results, control, and unbelievably smooth transitions. Seemed oil pastels may be similar but I didn't want to plunk down the cash without getting some feedback.

    WOW!! I met RAMBO!!!!!

    :curse::curse: Bit of a vent here. On a bit of a walk today. I walk by a section of sidewalk that had cement that was 95% cured. Just on a whim I take a toothpick I had, bent down and in letters about 1/2 inch tall I write S + J (Shawn + Jan). Awwwwww:love: how cute!! A thunderous voice...

    I made a jet powered bike!!..........'it's only a model'

    Sculpted this about 8 years ago. It's around 6 inches long, 3 1/2 wide, 3 1/2 tall. The bulky parts were from resin and much of the rest is styrene. Painted with silver sparkle and then transparent red. REALLY like how this came out.

    Avatar - the movie

    I haven't seen it yet. Opinions from those who have? For a flick that cost almost half a BILLION I would hope I would go home younger, lighter and with a harem following me in hot pursuit!

    This thing is beautful/strange.

    This is about that spiral light seen over Norway. At first I thought, what an obvious PS'd picture, then I watched the video. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2764647/Spiral-UFO-puts-Norway-in-a-spin.html

    Gotta do this with wargamming fig's!!!

    Press mold chain mail.........SUCESS is within sight!!

    Here's some shots of the pressmold and the pressing of it. With a little tweaking I can get the rings to look really interlocked. Very tiny, very very tiny tolerances. I've probably done 20 or more different approaches and this is the closest yet of what I thought possible.

    More 2D fun and games

    About a year ago I got hearing aids (beware all you little head bangers - they are in your future too). The people I got them from were so kind and did it all gratis!! I did this as payment. A big part of doing art is sharing it.....hope you like it.............\"what?\".......I said \"HOPE YOU...

    Handy tip for press molds

    Been messing around with some press molds lately and trying some new things. 1----I made the mold part out of Pro Create since it\'s slightly elastic - won\'t shatter when getting the finished piece out. 2----I used car wax as a release on the master and on the molds when used to cast parts...
