Mr.Fantastic man of plastic

Just a quick paint job and the addition of a G.I Joe Retaliation bomb disposal vest that I cut down the middle to make a jacket. I'm going to paint some high lights on the tabs and other bits to give it some dimension.

A Character A Day


Right now I'm up to my elbows getting work ready for my annual November show of paintings at the Cameron House so I haven't had any time to write or build anything, it's all paint, paint, paint.
What I am doing is taking one figure a day and modding it and getting it painted, here are some G.I Joes that I've been swapping heads and vests etc. to make new characters.
I hope to do one a day and then when I'm ready to switch back to building dioramas and writing Any How Town I'll have a whole whack of characters to work with to pose and make some cool photo prints or perhaps, maybe, just maybe build some scenes that I'll illustrate as comic panels.
I am still stinging a bit from the amount of rejections that I received about Book One so I'm going to do another pass on it, but I've been doing my research and my optimism is high that a literary agent will see the value and talent and work that I've put into this world. I've been reading summaries of other books in the MG market and I'm still at a bit of a loss at the lack of interest in the series, but that's a problem for another time.
