Bad blogger! Bad, bad blogger!!

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Sorry sorry sorry! It’s been over 2 weeks– but I swear I’ve been doing stuff! It’s just that everything at this point is in the work-in-progress stage, and I had a lot of Foster’s work to do that kept me away from doll making and my family was visiting and our DSL has decided to become obnoxiously slooooooooowwww…

So enough with my pathetic excuses. Here’s some of what I’ve been doing in the last 2 weeks…

Lots o’ arms…

Lots o’ legs…

Venus’ hair…

Jupiter’s hair (yeah, I know it just looks like a pile of fringe, but trust me, it’s all attached to the back of her head– or the piece of fabric that will be the back of her head anyway…)

Stenciling for Venus…

Mars…

and Pluto…

lots o’ wheels…

My Mom and brother (who must have been bored out of his guourd to offer) helped me with these. Mom cut out the batting, Greg notched the edges, and I stuffed and turned right-side-out. It was quite the little assembly line!

And finally, lots o’ little outfits…

Two brand-spanking new dolls are almost complete. I’ll post them when they’re done!

What a difference three years make

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

I have decided to update the designs of the girls. It has been 3 years since I created the art work that’s currently on my website (my site) and not only do I feel the ginormous feet and black line work seem outdated, I also draw a little better now. First panel is the old drawing, second panel is the revised sketch, the third panel is the new version, cleaned up in Illustrator by my friend Janice. She also picked the colors for the new line work. Thanks Janice!

VENUS

SATURN

PLUTO

I have more I will post soon.

Somebody in Japan likes me!

Well…. likes “Urnus,” anyway. I found this piece of fanart on the web on what I think is a Powerpuff Girls fansite (ReadMe!Girls!) The headline reads “Chris Battle Blog & Foster’s.” Chris is a friend of mine who I worked with on Powerpuff, and Foster’s is the show I’m working on now, but I have no idea what that has to do with Uranus. The rest of the text on the page is in Japanese, so I guess I’ll never know. In any case, it’s insanely flattering to find fanart, so I had to share!!!

P.S.– If anyone can read Japanese, let me know!!!
