Spelunking, joined view, by Amy Crook
Continuing the series of little bronze people, these two are taking a fairly standard position but using an alternate entry point. If I recall correctly, this is the figure that had a problem with the orifice in question closing up during casting. The shop tech was highly amused to watch me clamp her in a vice and drill her open with the big metal drill press. As a result the fit between them isn’t quite as close as some of the others, but it still works for them.

I’ve often considered continuing the series exploring other sexual paradigms, but the foundry I was using at the time has since closed. Perhaps one of these days my muse will demand I find a new way to create them. For now, there’s still one more couple and at least one more single figure to be posted before the series is done, and possibly more of the singles if I can dig up some good photos of the ones that were sold.

Weeble Wednesday: Isidore

Weeble Isidore by Amy Crook
Yet another of my buddies, Isidore is wearing her Hufflepuff colors in her weeble. I went for an argyle sweater and saddle shoes to spiff up her simple jeans, and of course had to add in a book on one of her favorite subjects, the British royal family.
If you’re enjoying these weebles, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Snape

Snape by Amy Crook
To go with yesterday’s botched Potions lesson, here’s a very stylized drawing of Professor Snape to go with it. The lightning bolt is from a very silly little Harry Potter stamp kit, and the rest is pen and ink.

Potions Accident by Amy Crook
By now I’m sure it’s obvious I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter books, so I thought I’d post another little drawing I did. The cheap paper made the Copic markers bleed a little more than usual, but I like the effect in the eerie magic flame under Harry’s cauldron.

Submission

Submission, front view, by Amy Crook
This is another of my small bronze figures, and in her pose she’s small enough to fit heavily into one hand. The texture of her hair was created by painstakingly building up wax layer after layer in drips and drizzles, shielding her face from view while leaving the long line of her back bare. She kneels in a submissive pose with her hands held behind her, unbound.
Her patina has darkened with age and handling from a nutty brown to a deep mahogany, and her matte finish tends to swallow the light, adding an air of mystery.

Objects in Painting May Be Smaller Than They Appear

Objects in Painting May Be Smaller Than They Appear by Amy Crook
I painted this with a model a few years back, and I’ve always really loved the way it came out, the soothing blues and brush strokes combined with the pensive expression on the model. I went through a period of rebellion against the Renaissance tendency to paint nude men as though it was a very cold day indeed, and in this case ended up giving the model a bit of a boost (though it was a warm room) and that’s where the painting’s title comes from.
This painting is unframed but ready to hang as is.

Weeble Wednesday: Ruby

Weeble Ruby by Amy Crook
Continuing with friends of mine, this week we have my friend Ruby. She secretly loves the color pink, so I used my markers to good effect, and show her playing with her favorite toy at the time, her Nintendo DS (she cheats on it with her iPhone now). It was fun doing drawings of my friends, because I could really load up on the props — she’s also got a rose (that goes with her username), and her special walking shoes.
