Craig's Response

 

Maybe we could burn the disc after Bob's Burgers tomorrow. And decorate the disc with all the critters? :3

Smiling Friends season 1 is COMPLETE!!!!! *Hello*

Custom Pet Update: Toe Beans :3

 

Repainted the kitten's paw pads! I plan on painting her bow to be neon pink topped with glitter Then we gotta make a stop at Michaels for some detail brushes and black paint. 

As you can see, some paint did get smudged on her head when I was cleaning off the excess glitter that was on her face (I held the pet over the garbage can in our basement when I was using glitter). Once the paint dries, I'll fix up the smudge. 

Here's the base I used. It's basically just pink paint with a little glitter mixed in.

My First Custom (In Forever...).

 Littlest Pet Shop has been a huge staple of my childhood since I was 6. I become attached to these little plastic pets when I got my first set of "pet pairs" in Wal-Mart circa 2009. Later in the year was when I would find out that I needed eartubes and had to undergo surgery. Before I made my way to the hospital, I got another set of pet pairs as a "get well" gift. After a few sets, I took a break from LPS for a good three years.

That is, until my late grandpa sent me a huge bag of LPS that he found at a yard sale. That's when I became even more hooked and starting making up my own little screenplays with these critters. And it amazed me even more when I found out other people have done the same thing and posted their stories to the internet! 

Everyone and their LPS or real pets have heard of this series by now...

Well, I decided to customize a badly damaged pet from my childhood. 

She was covered in black sharpee and green watercolor paint. So why not give this little girlie a makeover? So I whipped out my painting supplies and got to work. 

Gotta protect the peepers!

This kitty is meant to serve as a child version of the shorthair on the left. I took the liberty of covering her eyes with some blue painter's tape that mom had in our "junk drawer" in the kitchen. After breakfast, it was paint time. 

Two coats in.

Coat #3!

And here she is after peeling the tape off!

I'll admit, the tape didn't work as many wonders as I had hoped. Likely because I'm what most people would call a "noob" with customizing these things. But after finishing some details on the nose and inner ears, I realized that I didn't have any black paint left! Guess we might need to take a trip to Michaels this weekend if possible... 

Summer Project

 

Coming....Eventually! 

Morning Doodles

Drawing with my dad has always been a ritual of ours, and the weekends are no different. Mom clocks out for her work shift in the morning, leaving dad and I to figure out what we want for breakfast.  So, I stumbled out of bed, grabbed some paper, and made my way to the kitchen.

I had informed dad that (thanks to the official Wallace and Gromit Instagram page) that today is "NATIONAL CHEESE DAY!!!" And what better way than to draw some Smiling Friends artwork! 

Preparing for the festivities...

And my less than handy work. 

For an upcoming short (I made Alan's nose too pointy here...drats).
