Iโve been struggling with art block these past few days so I havenโt been active a lot recently. School is still breathing down my neck as well and assignments are piling up. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this short comic despite it looking a tad bit rushed!
I wish I had stick figures living on my computer so they could do things like this.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! ๐๐
this was my piece for the Seasonal Riffs Zine ๐๐ I wanted to wait til Halloween to post it here tho! :p
+ a little alternate b&w palette!! :DD
Translation of my bad handwriting:
Sam: โAre you sure you know how to tie a tie, Max?โ
Max: โNope! But I can tie a noose!โ
I made a custom Tintin doll! I used a Chat Noir doll as a base because that's the one petit male doll I could find that was articulated and still affordable. The amazing @bubblekidaesthetics photographed him as seen above!
Details about my process below. Warning for weird doll photos.
His jumper is made out of a pair of baby socks, his plus fours are made from an old tablecloth, his shoes are made from cardstock, his socks from some trainer socks and his trench is made from a pillow case I found on offer during a sale! The shirt is the one item I didn't make, it's a Ken shirt but as a result it's a bit too big for him.
I had to hack Chat Noir's head down with a box cutter because I found the vinyl too tough to pull off, then I sculpted over the remaining head stump with tin foil and a mixture of milliput and green stuff.
I painted him with acrylics for that vintage doll feeling rather than using pastels and MSC - he's orange in the second picture above because I was colour correcting the green putty.
Snowy was made with a My Little Pony, armature wire, tin foil and hot glue!
