Miniatures
Oh em gee, a public post *everyone dies*!

Yes, because I have a plan, actually! I have over a year of stuff to catch up T~T

In this post I want to show the miniatures I've painted since the last... post. Only five though. I have many more but they're unfinished. And I'm not painting because I don't have any good brushes. All my fine brushes went bald from overuse and now serve as useful sticks.
(...I have an art shop like 50 meters from my place but apparently I'm too lazy.)

☆ Let's start with the skull *_*
I'm slightly obsessed with profiles (that's no secret) and skull profiles are just too cool. I like how this turned out. For the frame I used a piece of a watch I bought at a flea market. It was round but when I squeezed it it was my favorite 3 x 4 cm ^^ It was golden(something)-plated steel but it was an awful color so I polished it off and now it's just lovely steel.





☆ Sakura! Or rather some cherry/plum blossom. It was very simple to paint and the method I used to attach the beads is revolutionary. It's all nice and transparent.



☆ A shipwreck of darkness and doom! My first time painting a ship in my life XD It's loosely copied from some other painting and of course I changed the name of the ship to mine (which looks a bit silly). There's some 3D effects (paint, clear enamel, paint, clear enamel etc...) which obviously cannot be seen on a photo...



☆ Tetsu! Ah, the most beautiful man in the world (I'm dead serious here). As usual I failed to catch his true beauty *sigh*. But at least it's something resembling Tetsu...




☆ A mysterious Japanese mask/ghost! Ages ago, I saved an icon from some lj/forum with this face. I love it so much but I don't remember where I got it from, much less where the original image came... If you know, please tell me and I'll give credits.
Right now it's one of my favorite brooches <3




Actually, those miniatures should be memorable for me because they're the end of an era. I'm not going to paint on modeling clay ever again. I've found a better technique ^o^



Also, I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG. I haven't listened to anything else in two days. I have no idea what it is about but I'm convinced it's half in Japanese (actually it's not because I checked the lyrics, humph) o_O;

Also also, I have a new layout (it took like 3 minutes to make). It's all pink and flowery *dies*
