Need some help
« on: June 24, 2011, 06:40:20 pm »
I can use some help with this.  He's to be honored at a convention being held in July.

I've able to get a pattern for man and dummy which I like, but having trouble with dog. Care to do the entire pix, go ahead, might be better than mine or just the dog.

Thanks in advance.

What threw me AND the Boss off was the Dummy, put a top hat and monacle on the other one and I dare you to know the difference. The puppeteers are both too YOUNG in their photos and didn't recognize either one. I guess I'm NOT older than dirt just yet!  ;D ;D

Here's show and tell.
I made a 8.5" x 11" to start, final project will be 11" x 14"

I made a few changes, and will make some slight adjustment before I do the final project.
Suggestions more than welcome. Been said before, great people here.

Thanks

The dog's better but could still use a little more clean up especially the head. Don't ask me how to do it! LOL
The rest looks great.

Pretty happy with the head but, I would like the dog's right eye more defined. Here's a few samples.

I stacked cut 2 portraits. The one "posted" was the bottom one, and I didn't notice that a piece of dummy's mouth had broke off. Easily fixed today.
