Running away...

I have to recognize that I just simply can't maintain a blog anymore, but I need a simple "bus stop" for me.

So I'm moving to a simpler platform to handle what I need, and tumblr seems to be the option.

If you are reading this, please update your bookmark to raulvillanueva.com and go there.
Is not going to be a real blog, is mostly visual and a link to my other presences on the web.

See you around.

Raul.

Sculpey mini creature

Or mini monster, you choose.

These past week, on my lunch time at the office, instead of drawing I decided to sculpt a little, so I carried my sculpey and some tools with me. This is what came at the end. Is a mix of fish with... I have no idea.

I'm not sure if I'll paint it, at least in the near future, but I think I'll continue doing some creatures in my free time. This one is at least baked, so I don't have to worry about accidents.

Some pictures, I hope you find it amusing.

Forest pattern

I forgot to post my last spoonflower pattern, so here it is, a forest.
I still have to order samples to check for the colors.

Little princess sculpt

A change from all the patterns!
I'm slowly doing an illustrated short story (I will post my advances soon), and one of the characters is a little princess, and I wanted a 3D reference for the proportions and and hair locks, so I sculpted one this past weekend.
It was really fun, I need to do that more often, really.

Anyway, here are the pics, the head was done and baked separated from the body, and will stay like this until it is painted.
Is a small sculpt, just a inch and half / 4 cm. high in total.

I think the eyes are bulging too much, I might sand them a little, but I'm sure that when they are painted, will look better.

Hope you like this!

Elepez pattern

Here is the final pattern with the Elepez.
As usual, click on it to go to my spoonflower page and play with the repeat size.

Hope you like it.
