Final Year Project - Children's Furniture

In previous posts (FYP - Children's Furniture: Chair Designs, and FYP - Furniture Design Sketches, and Final Illustrations) , I've mentioned that I wanted to design a children's furniture set as part of the merchandise tying into my book project. After a search for a skilled joiner to bring it from paper to reality, I have these photos to show you!

These are the raw, just-delivered furniture pieces. Shortly after these were photographed, I bought the necessary supplies to turn them into my character pieces - including wood putty for some imperfections in the wood. Right now, I'm letting the putty cure before I sand, clean, and prime these pieces for painting. Anyway, on to the photos!

Dropping a Word

Hello, peeps! Work has been going on in earnest since last I posted, but that's good news from where I sit. :D My batteries have been recharged, so I can upload some photos that I took of the furniture set (yes, it has been built!). This week is all about updates, so keep your eyes people for them!

Speaking of updates, I've also relaunched my IndieGogo campaign. Rechristened The Final Year Quest Part Two, I'm trying to cover the outstanding costs that both local and international donations were unable to plug. Plus, a look at one of the items being offered as a Donation Perk will be uploaded both here and on the IndieGogo page this week! Told you guys this was a week for updates. ;)

Later!

Just a quick announcement

Hey, people.

Work is still going on, but I have been very under the weather lately so i haven't been able to update much of anything. Right now, I'm doing some digital editing because I have no strength to draw (yes, it's that bad). Hopefully I'll be back to my normal self soon, so see you then!

FYP - Buttons Test-Run, and Feedback Poll

Hi, people! I know I haven't been here in too long, but I've been busy with a number of behind-the-scenes work. Part of that has to deal with illustration and making my buttons for my merchandise. The last time I mentioned those buttons, I did so in my FYP - Button W.I.Ps! post. Since then, they've been coloured and I've also done a printing test run at Labels and Supplies Ltd, a local company.

Eraser present to show scale.

The buttons are approximately 1.25" in dimension, which was decided upon based on the results of my Pin-Back Button Poll on my Langi Lala Studios Facebook Page. The poll is still open, so please feel free to participate in it. The more feedback I receive, the better. I also have other news to share, but I will leave those for this Friday's post! Yes, pees, I am striving foir a once-weekly post from now on - and what better way to kick off the weekend? See you later!  

EDIT: Just to clarify, Labels and Supplies didn't have 1.5" button options available, but I will contact them for the nearest available size ASAP.

New Year, New Zeal...and a New Look!

Greetings!

I know, I know....I haven't updated this blog in what feels like eons, but there's a good reason for that. I've been without my computer for over a month*, and I've been relying on the kindness of neighbours to get periodic internet access. Unfortunately, said neighbours have computers without any graphics software whatsoever, so that meant no new artwork from me. :(

Well, all that should soon change! Speaking of changing, a layout and design overhaul for the blog is also due, and in the works. Sounds great, huh? Another thing is that I'm going to be posting all of my sketches on here from this point on, and not just the ones I'm doing for my Final Year project (yes, that's still going on but that's an explanation for another day).

Sit tight, stay tuned, and thank you for putting up with me for so long! :D



*Don't worry, it merely died on me. The new one should be ready by this weekend.
