Now that I've finished my 2013 Christmas Card Slash Book I thought I'd try my hand at making a paper craft figure of one of the stars of the story, Dr. Killdeath.
I meant to have this finished and posted around Christmas, but that didn't quite work out. Stuff happens; whaddya gonna do? Besides, even though he was featured in a Christmas book, there's nothing particularly Christmassy about him, so I don't feel too badly about missing the deadline.
Feel free to download and print out the image and make your own Dr. Killdeath figure. I recommend printing it to card stock, as regular copy paper would be too flimsy. Use an X-Acto knife to cut out the pieces too; it'll be easier than trying to use scissors (even though there's a scissor icon on the sheet above!).
So is it hard to make these paper craft figures, I hear someone asking? Eh, it's not so tough. I generally start by drawing a front view of the figure in 2D, and once I've got it looking the way I want, I deconstruct it and start adding sides and backs to the various pieces. They're pretty much just boxes, so it's not all that complicated.
The hardest part is trying to fit all the pieces onto one 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. That generally requires a lot of rearranging and rejiggering and cursing. I managed to fit all the Doctor's pieces on this sheet, but it was a struggle. I wish there was some computer program out there that would arrange this stuff at the click of a button.
And before anyone asks, I'd like to make a Count Gothula figure to go along with this one, but I don't know if it'll ever happen. The Count's a much more complicated design than the Doctor. I've done some preliminary sketches to try and figure out how to make him and there are some major technical problems I need to figure out. Namely his head-- I've never made a paper craft figure with a round head before, so I'm not exactly sure how best to go about that. And then there's his collar-- it works fine in 2D, but 3D is another story. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on him.

The year: 1952. The place: Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The subject: one Grimelda Spellington, a potion-making, broomstick-riding, cauldron-owning old school witch. Miss Spellington decides she's tired of being persecuted by the community and having everyone in the neighborhood refer to her home as "that haunted house on the end of the block that's dragging all the property values down."
So she did what everyone did in the Fifties-- she conformed. She ditched the pointed hat and black robes, bought a new wardrobe, got her hair permed and started wearing pearls around the house.
Did it work? Let's just say the neighborhood Bridge Club was never the same after that year.
When I first sketched Grimelda I drew her wearing a neck scarf, bobby socks, Oxford shoes and a poodle skirt (except the skirt had a black cat on it instead of a dog. Com-O-Dee!) because that was an outfit in the 1950s. But then I realized that that's what teens wore, not adults. So I had to look up ladies' outfits from the 1950s until I found something suitably June Cleaver-ish.

Huey, Dewey, & Louis, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck -
This 1952 DELL Donald Duck Coloring Book follows a loose plot.
In the first pages Donald, Daisy & the Nephews go to the movies. They see a varied & historic selection of classic Disney animated films ranging from Silly Symphonies to ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Disney's newest feature in 1952.
Each one is represented by a page to color.
The Cold-Blooded Penguin (previous) is from a sequence in the 1945 feature THE THREE CABALLEROS.
But at The End of the screening Donald is disappointed because, shucks, they didn't include a Donald Duck cartoon.
this is a cartoon I drew of MSU photography teacher, Trice, one day just doodling, and he saw it on my jump drive. Luckily he had a good humor about it, and he actually colored it in.

While going through my folders of old photos I saw this one of Toontown that I did 8 years ago and was struck by how hideous of a job I did. I decided to start over and clean it up considerably.

When the filming of Predator was halfway in and then ready to get to the FX shots with the Predator, they recieved a flimsy poor executed model, or at least it behave not the way it supposed to be and almost cancelled the whole thing until Stan Winston was called in by James Cameron who then came up with the design everyone knows on a 2 hour plane flight and they quickly modeled the thing and shipped it to the set and rest is history. I found some pics of the old model and imagined what if the first model fucked up and then they just reworked it to fit a human and just added some funky extra bits and jeans vest to make it look more 'urban' and went with this. Ah :D could you imagine this thing being the star of the movie?

I just liked the look of this guy! Actually, my first slide broke down and I was left with this cartoon image. I cleared the slate, started over and tried again. I do that a lot with these!
