Not a postcard or a comic! I gotta make a new category.

This is Codsworth.

My friend an I are working on a 3D print of Codsworth.  It will hopefully look a little like this.

As you can see, Burbol printed some test pieces of the... hover jet? for me.  The line-y texture is a natural part of the printing process.

I started sanding one to try to remove the print lines, to minimal success.

Next I hit it with automotive primer filler.

You can see that the filler was very smooth and glossy while wet.

The filler dries to a fairly matte grey.

Recently I've coated it with a chrome spray paint.

Updates as Burbol prints more pieces and we try more finishes!

Postcards: Yog-Sothoth

I know!  I know!  There was a whole run of these.  But there were two I hadn't sent yet.

Now there is one.

Postcards: Mr. ZIP

Do you remember Mr. ZIP?  I only recently of his existence when my sister sent me the Zip Code Song.  I watched the video and thought "I gotta draw that guy."  Only with further research did I learn his name is Mr. ZIP. 

Unveiled in 1962, Mr. ZIP was part of a campaign to get Americans on board with the Zip Code system.  You can learn more at The Postal Museum.

Postcards: G'day M'Skeleton

In keeping with trying out new styles, I saw this friendly skeleton, and thought I'd give his style a try.

I decided to use that derpy skeleton's style with a previous drawing of a skeleton tipping his hat.

Postcards: Tentacles

I felt like it was time to play around with other arts's styles.  I love Mike Mignola's work, including his post-Hellboy paintings.

Now, I have no idea how to do that, but it seemed like a good style to draw inspiration from.

Postcards: Something Food Related

I don't have much to contextualize this one, other than Maryanne asked for "something food related."  All I could think of was smoked cocktails, so I tried that.  Glass is... tricky.

Postcards: Hunting Uranium

Sorry, I couldn't find any of my process photos for this one.  Luckily, it's pretty simple; I think you can picture how this came together.
