cutouts: round two [in progress]...

now that the game is just about done, and i've had a bit more time for my ART art again, i've been spending a bit of time on another round of cutouts- this time, just making a batch of some of my favorite characters that i've drawn over the last year-ish...

like i mentioned- varying degrees of done-ness...

... a bit more to paint, and of course add those black outlines that i just can't live without;)

i like this green dude so much, that i made two of 'im:)

not sure exactly where they'll end up, since they don't quite jive with the rest of the animals in lily's room & i'm running out of wall space in my office- will probably have to wait until we move into a bigger home for them to take up residence on a nice big wall.

ps. photos courtesy of my iphone [it's just too dang easy not to use].

CUT OUTS II sketches...

more sketches on their way to becoming wood cut outs- some were originally created for game designs, some for if she was a boy;), but i figured i'd milk a bit more use out of 'em.

starting to introduce a bit of text again- something i've started doing to some of them, is naming them whatever sounds i think they might make.

"uniphant"

"tweeb"

one of my fav.s- starting on him right now.

"jimmy 2 pockets"

"floating harold"

started added carrot noses to a few of my beasties- something i rather liked and decided to rip off [something i _rarely_ do] from my good friend [junkyard samuel].

... figured i might go in the robot direction if she was a boy- only whipped up a couple up before finding out the good news:)

will be posting progress shots of these + the last two i just finished soon!

in other news, we just finished up the alpha deadline on our game, heading towards beta, and finally found out when it'll be on the shelves- SEPTEMBER 15th- yee hoo! will be sure to post when the press release on the game & company [finally;)] is published.

AND!! only ~1 more month 'til the baby arrives- can't wait!!
