Curtain Call by *alex-heberling

Timelapse + commentary video: [link]

Once upon a time, in the ancient year of 2004, I drew a picture for my dad, who operates the bar at a theater, to advertise a house cocktail he created in order to use up some surplus liquor in stock. This drink was named THE CURTAIN CALL.

Not too long ago, I was visiting my parents for the holidays and saw a printout of the old artwork lying around the kitchen table. I was thinking to myself, “Man, I could do a much better job on this nowadays,” and apparently my dad was thinking the same thing, since he asked me to redo it.

Here it is, in all its Before-I-Went-To-Art-School glory: [x]

[Image Description: A painting of a fat, blue-skinned troll woman.  She has long, wavy, blue hair that is trailing down her back to the left of the image and loosely knotted near the bottom, and is wearing a lacy, ruffley corset and lace opera-length fingerless gloves.  Around her neck is a string of large pearls, and her pointed ears have large teardrop-shaped chandelier earrings.  Her eyes are closed in an expression of contentment.  In the background are some simple-looking trees.  She looks very serene and lovely.]

[Image Description: A painting of a fat, blue-skinned troll woman.  She’s sitting on a wooden bench against a streaky brown background, and holding a gold powder compact with a pink powder puff that has eyes.  Her spiky black hair is pulled up into a ponytail on top of her head with a red and white hair elastic, and she’s wearing a pink and red strapless dress with gold accents at the belt, as well as chunky gold hoop earrings.  She’s looking towards the viewer with her hand on her chest in mild surprise.  She is fabulous.]

Here’s the piggy bank I’m transforming into Hyacinth, the ballerina hippopotamus from Fantasia.  I sculpted her snout and cheeks this morning, so she’s ready to start painting.  I draped some of the material that will become her tutu over her as well!

I’ve got a lot of sculpting and painting projects tonight. :D
