This is how I spent part of my weekend! Anime Detour has a charity auction every year and I try to come up with something to put in it. This year is the first year I thought ahead of time ^^;;; J. Michael Tatum will be at the convention and I thought, “What if I woodburned a big picture of Sebastian? And he signed it?” I’ve been emailing the people in charge of the auction and they like the idea!
The burning is done (yay!) and now all that’s left is to have him sign it. The plan is for it to be signed the night before the convention, so it’ll be autographed when its put in the auction on Friday :)
Along with the finished picture is some progress pictures. This was something I started to do on Saturday and finished about half an hour ago ^^
Picture one: All finished, red eyes and all!
Picture two: The start of the project. The picture is sketched onto the wood in pencil, very lightly, in case I had to erase anything.
Picture three: Penciled in the parts that will be woodburned.
Picture four: Started to woodburn, took a picture to show the difference between the woodburn and pencil :)
Picture five: All the burning is done!
This was fun to do and I’m kind of surprised it didn’t take as long as I thought. My poor little woodburning probably hates me, though ^^;;; If you’re going to Anime Detour, be sure to check this out in the auction!
As always, feel free to check out my Etsy store or my DeviantArt :) I haven’t done too many large woodburnings, so I hope this turned out o.k.?
*deep breath*
O.K. I got terribly distracted with writing and things so I haven’t worked on this in a while, but with Anime Detour coming up soon it’s back to crafting I go :) The insane woodburned coaster project commences!
The goal is to get the arcana from Persona 4 (and technically Persona 3) and Persona 4 Golden done in time for the convention (hence why some numbers repeat, like how Souji and Adachi have the 0 slot, ect.) There’s only 4 left to sketch: The Devil, The Sun, the Moon, and the World (I believe that’s what it’s called?) Then I might do the back of the card as one since I like the way it looks. So 25 (+1) coasters.
^^;;;
I’ll be selling these individually since I don’t really expect anyone to buy all of them at once, lol, but Detour is April 19th, so I hope to have a finished picture posted by then of ALL of them.
The two pictures here are the coasters so far. Ten are woodburned and done, the others sketched (since I sketch the image in pencil first then burn over it, everything is done by hand). To think, this started with the Magician as a test… now it’s pretty out of control!
So um… enjoy?
Suddenly, I have 50 followers. No way, guys! That’s awesome! I never thought I’d have more than like, 10, or something as I post my crafty things and such, so thank you! Here’s a big post of things I’ve finished for Anime Iowa. Well… the Mario mirror is almost done, I have to finish his other hand ^^;;;
So we have a mix of things: Persona 4, Zelda, Mario, and even Teen Titans. All of these were done by me and you’ve probably seen the coaster sketches I posted. This is what the final product looks like (the coasters and mirror will have protective coating on them to make sure they can’t be damaged and stuff) The top picture is what my house starts to look like as I make things, the coasters are sitting on top of my box of controllers, lol, otherwise they’ll overtake the kitchen table and counter (it’ll get to that point soon though, I know it will).
