It’s a me.  MAR-I-O.  Clock  ^^  I have a ton of Mario things I’ve made but I thought I would start with this clock.  I tried a lot of new things with this one.  The paintings on the shell of the clock.  The tiny Mario on the second hand that moves around the clock as it ticks.  Painting “MARIO” on the glass of the clock.  I would love to do something like painting a level around the clock or a question block with a brick pattern on the shell…

… oh god why did I just say that  -_- *holds the muses back*   

Someone posted this on my facebook today.  I know I post crafty things I make like crazy, but I am also a huge gamer/anime nerd.  This is some sort of tech demo from Quantic Dream (Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy).  I really, really hope they take this beyond a tech demo and make this into a game.  The graphics, voice acting, EMOTION, just… seven minutes wasn’t enough, I want more!

I hope this is at E3, or something, since I’ll be going there in June.  

Or rather, an article about games coming out this month.  Expect more game writing things from me, be it reviews or whatnot.  Please enjoy, and check out the website too, it’s pretty rad!

And now time for some Zelda!  When I walked into the craft store and saw these shields I KNEW what I had to do.  I want to do more shields from Zelda, but this is the first one I got done… then proceeded to have another idea halfway through, so I’ll probably be remaking this one  ^^;;;  

For the woodburnings, in case anyone is curious anyone?  Hello?  I sketched on the wood first then I burn over the sketch  :)  It’s been a lot of trial and error as, in the beginning, I would sketch it too dark so sometimes faint pencil marks would be there.  I think I’m getting better now, though (or at least have a better eraser, lol)
