Among all heroes published by Image comic book, Savage Dragon is a bit popular after Spawn. I didn't know 'bout his origin or where he came from.. but that's not so important. Because I've heard he's a police in 'Back in Blue', I try to made a standbase for him. A bit ruin building corner will be suitable for him with loaded armaments.. and at last you may see in pictures what I wondered with savage term in Savage Dragon.
Wayang kulit commonly watched by ordinary people but this time i'd like to mix ordinary people and superheroes. In pictures you may see the kelir, a set of puppets, and slow but sure the audience came.. start with Mr. Fantastic as dalang, Human Torch as blencong above and Spider-Man and Cyclops as acapella gamelan players. One by one another superheroes come, which is Electro, E.T., and DareDevil, then a bit later.. The Thing, Hulk, WarMachine, and SavageDragon.
"Surem-surem tiwangkara kingking lir manguswa kang layon... hoooooo..."
Among figures I've collected there's 25 figures from Naruto Animation ready to play. In Naruto's film we know that ninja live in harmony with nature. Everything in Konoha village is rich with natural color. So I'm think about it for a while... and first project i made may seen in pictures.
Wait for next project in patience, brooo...
At the middle of the night there's a bat beam at the top of Gotham. Commisioner Gordon waiting in police headquartes rooftop with anxious. Not for long the dark knight comes and whisper from the shadow of the building...
Those scene inspired me to make a part of building as a stand for the bat and Commisioner Gordon. With styrofoam I design a corner of rooftop building and as usual covered styrofoam texture with white-cement three times. After it dry my next step is install wires connected small switch on rooftop, small calculator lithium battery inside of building, and two colors LED as antenna indicator at the top of chimney... A bit difficult to work with soldering iron on a tiny thing such as small switch and thin wires, but.. it's done. Then i put window frames made from ice cream sticks and small piece of plastic I tear from my student's paper-cover for window glasses. For coloring step I use darker color to express situation at midnight and... voilaaaaa.
After collect information from Commisioner Gordon the bat has a lot to do... and it will make this time to be a loooooooong night...
After hard negotiation between evil-side and good-side figures finally they agree to unit in special occasion for being captured by my camera.. with not quite good lighting, huh...
Ladies and gentleman... now I present to you all figures in their specific gesture and poses...
Tadaaaaaa...
Working only for good-side-figure sometime make me bored.. so this time i make one for evil-side-figure, Electro, one of Spider-Man villain who has ability to control electricity as a deadly weapon to crush his enemy. For him I made a simple chimney as Electro stand from styrofoam and covered it with white-cement. In coloring step i make a bricks textures for here and there as you may see it in pictures.
Stand on top of chimney Electro is waiting to shoot the wall-crawler with his electric-bolt...
After Beta Ray Bill and Punisher, i made a simple stand for Cyclops as you may see in pictures. I did it in the same steps with those 2 figures and for pillar i use big straw covered by white cement. You may see the result in pictures i've attached as follow...
and beware of cyclops eye-beams.
Similar with Beta Ray Bill, in this comment i made a wall stand for Punisher. From three small pieces styrofoam i stick it together with styrofoam glue and tear the edge as you may see it in picture. No forget i cover it up three times with white-cement so it become hard and heavy enough. While cover it at second time i scratch the wall with toothpick to make brick texture. After let it dry i continue to cover it at the third times. Finished with first step i paint the wall with grey and brown poster paint and give two pieces of broken ice cream sticks on the floor. Two sheets of dirty poster may add on it too. In the last step to 'lock' the colour i carefully spray it with Pylox clear spray paint... try to keep dusty and not so glossy.
And then... as you may see, Punisher look so ready for ambush, right...
My dear readers,
After a lot of work with diorama scenery id'like to work with my figures this time. My focus is Beta Ray Bill which similar with the Mighty Thor, god of thunder in Viking myth. To make it close with Thor i've made a hammer sculpt from a piece of wood and a mineral water straw for the holder. After paint it it with silver and brown wood paint you may check the hammer later. To make a stand base for him i sculpt rock from styrofoam in various detail. Then i covered it up three times with white cement. After it dry i continue with coloring it with black, grey, and a bit green poster paint. I also put a bit green foliage made from sponge-dust colored with green poster paint in several parts of it. For the last step i covered it up with thin clear spray paint to prevent the color scratched or smudged. After totally dry you may see how tough Beta Ray Bill stand on it complete with his hammer...
similar with the Mighty Thor, isn't it...
My lovely reader, i felt sorry to leave you for a while...
This time i'd like to show you the warmth of teenage gathering in CardCaptor Sakura, an anime film i don't really know... haha. I found the figures as keychain actually and imagine what terrain that fit with'em. After browsing a lot, i decide to design a small japanese house-terrace with small waterfall and sakura tree. As a fence behind sakura tree and bench i used several ice cream sticks and a piece of hard cartoon paper for the traditional japanese house-wall. The rocks behind waterfall was sculpt from styrofoam and paint it black and grey with poster paint. To create waterfall firstly i cover the rock with several pieces of plastics sheet. Second, i covered the plastic sheets with Fox white glue for wood that become transparent after dry. After 3 hours it dried and i continue with colouring step with white poster paint in several places to create wave effect and blue or green paint to create depth of the waves. After do minor for this and that you may see the result...
Sometimes i thougt that the golden age in our life is in teenage... sigh. Look how happy they are.. Aren't they cute...
In Pixar's animation we may learn about friendship, love, and adventure. For instance, in Cars we may see how interesting interaction between these cars characters, especially Lightning McQueen and Matter. I think they two hold main character than the other. The relation between Lighting McQueen who has full of optimist, power, and speed addicted stand beside Matter who has simple, funny, and easy-going character show us a good combination of friendship chemistry.
Different with usually i manage figures and standing base, or a simple diorama this time i manage cars and a simple Matter's old house scenery. To enlight their chats in the night i put a white-LED-light in a straw as a street old-rusty-lamp. Check it out..
Dear my lovely reader,
There's a quote said that love will unit a lot of difference between people who love each other. In old time i believed that love is only for human, but this Pixar's film show me that love may find in robots.. or anything around us.. a new perspective that love is everywhere as God's bless, as long as we have an open heart to see it.
More or less this film shows that an old recycle-robot named Wall-E, fall in love to Eve, a state of art robot came from Axiom spaceship which explore of new life by search plant in a lot of planets. Wall-E really amazed by Eve because of her 'beauty' and sophisticated ability to search plant. After their thrilling adventure to go back to earth in Axiom Eve realized that Wall-E is not only an old junk robot but he also has 'heart'.. something impossible owned by robot as we think, and at last she loves him too.. and like many fairy tales, they live in happiness for ever and after..
When i go to Gardena store not intensionally i've caught by Wall-E and Eve keyholder and, like spidersense, i imagined to put it as a symbol of unity in diversity. After two days worked with styrofoam, ice cream sticks, straw, switch and wires, and colouring things.. I may show you my 'enlightment' about the existence of love from those robots. Enjoy...
