I follow an illustrator Frannerd on social media! I like her work and I have wanted to meet her for a while now. (Fran is even lovelier in person! :-) An awesome human being.) An opportunity finally arose when Fran shared she'll be in London (19th August) for Ohh Deer's Summer Fiesta at The Hoxton.
I wanted to show Fran how much I appreciate her illustrations and YouTube videos she creates!
My way of saying THANK YOU!
As an idea for this sculpture, I took a twist on Fran's illustration 'I want all the plants!' and swapped plant pot with a gigantic coffee mug as a representation of how much Fran likes coffee!
@jlampel Thank you very much, Jonathan! :-)
Those big, round eyes and a smile what made you think of baby Groot, isn't it?
That's really cool, nice work! Also, second from the bottom looks like a metal wire version of baby Groot :)
It's hardly noticeable in the finished pictures anyways, and getting all of that done in 8 nights is impressive :) . I hope she liked it! Well done :)
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to fix an issue. I was so short on time, I thought I will not complete her on time as it is. I only had 8 evenings to complete her from start to finish. The clay was a nightmare to work with which slowed me down a lot. Why I chose a clay I have not work with before for an important project like this, I don't know!!!
Not my best work, but I did my best to complete her!
Great work :) ,and a lovely idea! did you manage to fix the issues you were having with the cracking?
