Bored as I was tonight, (and not wanting to work any further on the book tonight) I got to the business of action figure making.

I had done tried doing an action figure of my main character, but he's a very plain character. Just pants and a Tshirt really.
A couple weeks ago I was trying to figure out lips. Well I still haven't got it down, but one thing that did come of it was Jon's cartoon head.
(Jon's the main character in case you wondered.)
 So here his face is.




Well tonight I wanted to try again on a female face. The usual happened. I made a head and just about the time I started to work out the neck, I smashed in the face a bit. DOH!

I started again, this time with a less narrow face and with a bit more weight to it.

I decided I'd make a figure of my character The Gorge.  
I've posted his appearance over on

It looked really good when I got done. The picture doesn't help capture it, but he had 2 1/2 chins. As I kept building, they got a little lost, but his bulbous nose is still recognizable. 
 He doesn't have any eyeballs. Now that I've baked it, I wonder if I'll put any in. We'll see.




This one, honestly, is my best so far. The first one was too big and I had no idea what I was doing. The second was too small and I couldn't get the face right. This one, is almost spot on. I haven't yet gotten to painting them and stuff but, either way.

 This is his outfit which looks more like a moomoo than a shower curtain, but if I get around to painting him that will probably change.


This is the best I could do for 'tree trunk arms.'
He's not as fat as he should be either.
But for a first attempt, I'm overall pleased.

I finally figured out the size to make them, so that's something.
