Rickmaniac on the loose

I've found that these dolls are good excercise for my creativity bone... I spent some of the afternoon making a recliner for Snape (out of styrofoam mostly) and then a small chess table to go with it. And then it evolved into
( this: )

This afternoon hubby and I went to the local Botanica Garden, where they have a large hothouse for all kinds of tropical plants. And since I'd been wanting to take some pictures of Harry for a while, I brought him along, much to the gardeners' amazement *L*



You can almost hear the other visitors think
( "What in the world is going on here?!", )

Just for the "aww"-factor this time ;)

Nothing serious or anything. Just a few pics I snapped of Harry and Basil. And a bonus silly pic from a picture-challenge thread at Resin Garden...


( More pics under the cut... )

Er.. uhm. So.. Harry got his eyes today!

And they're green! A very lovely, glittery green. They're also very dark, so it's a little hard to see. But they're there, they're green and I love them to bits *L*

Soooo I had to take some pictures of Harry, now that he's officially "finished" - and.. well, since the whole idea of getting a Harry in the first place was to get Snape some..er.. company.. Well...

Oh and don't worry. IMO the pictures are totally worksafe. But someone with better knowledge of the new draconian rules of LJ.. please tell me if they would be forbidden to post "over there" - because I frankly can't make heads or tails of their rules, and I'm just not going to risk a total deletion of my LJ. As much as I dislike places with such "we'll tell you what to think" mentality... I still have a lot of nice comments and such I'd hate to lose.

But anyway, I hope I can safely post them here, so...

Just because.. Snape isn't my only doll so here's a little bit of Harry pics...

Today I got the glasses I'd ordered for my Harry. And I was out shopping for fabric so I could sew him a robe and a (somewhat) proper Gryffindork tie.

So yes, I've been busy. And of course I had to take some pics of the finished result. Thing is, it had started to get dark so ... well even with a very light sensitive lens I still had to cheat and use the flash. So I photoshopped them a bit to take away the glare and such...

( The pictures are right here, under the cut )

Right... I had a plan that was to do the faceup tomorrow while visiting snapelike - but.. I couldn't wait. Besides, it's a tad messy to do faceups, what with pastel powder flying everywhere. And I'd like to be able to visit again some other time ;)

So I did the faceup. It took a while to give the head a colour that matched the body, luckily I managed to mix the right colour in first go, and then it was just to blush it on, just like putting facial powder on actually. I DID forget the fact that the MSC sealer spray makes colours a little darker, so he's a tiny bit too dark in the head compared to the neck.. but at least it's the same overall nuance... And the head looks quite ok on the Dollzone body. I've also got an idea of what to do with Sevvie's head. Once I execute it I'll upload it for you to see ;)

Of course I took Harry outside with me, too. I don't want him to feel left out :)

But enough with the talk. Let's get some pictures:

but... I took a break from the books last night and got caught up re-re-re-re-re-reading some of the very first slash I EVER read. Which, among other things was Minx' All Tied Up... and... for several reason this was one of the stories I just HAD to illustrate.

So here it is. If you haven't read the story and you like Snarry, go read it. It's HOT!


( Like the story, the picture below this cut is NC-17! Watch it at your own risk! )

My first render over here. I've started doing some illustrations for Telanu's Tea Series, this is the second one. The first is still on my LJ. I may eventually migrate my pics over here, but there are a LOT so it's not an easy task. Furthermore I'm not sure exactely HOW to do it in the most practical way. So for the time being, they stay.

Anyway... Most Snarry fans will be aware of the Tea Series. For those unlucky few who doesn't... GO READ IT!
