HGP Stamp Success!

This is actually my 3rd attempt at making the stamp. The second time I did the same exact thing as the first time. It was pretty dumb. But look! I have done it. I've made a cool stamp for Heavy Giant Press stuff. And I added a nice little stamping handle to it. Makes it look good. The soft stamp material is so much easier to work with. I'm never buying that block stuff again. The imprint to stamp makes looks really clean too. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Heavy Giant Press

I just bought the Domain name heavygiantpress.com. So instead of this site being heavygiant.blogspot.com it will be heavygiantpress.com. I think it will be a little easier for everyone. I'm pretty excited about it. It'll be up in a few days or so.

FAVORITE FOOD: Banana Jam Ham Sandwich.

THEME SONG: Aqua - Kill Myself

First Stamp a Failure. But Still Pretty Cool.

So here is my first attempt at making my own stamp. HGP for Heavy Giant Press. It turned out better than I thought really. But while cutting I forgot to write the letters backwards so now when you stamp it turns out backwards. So there's one mistake. The other thing is that it doesnt stamp very good on paper. For this one I used the hard wood block stamp. It seems to do decent hand stamps but paper stamps don't really show up. So next I'll try out the softer rubber I have and see if it turns out better. And I'll write stuff backwards this time.

The Traveling Pig

So here is my first attempt at painting a sculpey toy. It is a traveling pig man. I'm not sure where to or from he is traveling but he's more than prepared for the journey. I think it turned out pretty good for a first try. Although I didnt really like how the textures turned out. And i need to get myself some tools to make doing the small stuff easier. I used regular acrylics. I hear miniature paint for like warhammer and stuff works better on sculpey. So im gunna try that out after I finish painting Action Orc.

Science Raccoon One-Shot

Today I've been working on this 8 page one-shot comic for Science Raccoon. My brother did the writing and story for it. It's coming along alright so far. I just need to stop getting off track and turn off Ace Ventura. I'm hoping to get all the pencil and inking done today. And then I'll decide if I want to do color.
