A banner and news

Once I decided that this blog is OK enough without a banner, but now... I just know it's too interesting to design them, so I made one. This blog has long name that's not too easy to fit there. I got a bit lazy and just drew the title and shaded a bit (with a tool I don't usually use for anything).

I just think... Cigar is a good mold. I like that I have one to see this physically. So of course Overkill (Sam model) is right dude for the banner.

Wonder if I don't have problems today when publishing this, because it's a tradition when I publish a new blog banner.


I also have a problem... It's about those photo stories I want to publish and have a nice stack waiting that happening. I want to improve with them, to make them better, more realistic, less stupid. I am too perfectionistic with my own works, and I count dolls and tack pieces as artworks too. Sometimes I just can't see a photo having any quality, if there's one or few pieces that make it all look failed - for me, having no skill with saddles. Also I wish my dolls could have real clothes, but I simply have no idea how to make any (I'm not a sewer). My dolls have rough anatomy because they're meant to work well and to be hidden under clothes. I could of course test to sculpt also lower pars of their limbs (except hands and feet that need to be all bendable), instead of gluing some soft materials there, but right now I haven't the right type of wire to make armatures, so I can't try.

Is it OK to say that don't read it wrong if you see some crazy looking dolls sitting on my models? They can be funny, but they also ruin the realism.

Lack of realism makes me easily not to want to publish things that generally could be worth posting. (Now don't ask why I then replace humans with rats and cats, haha.)
