EK-0205 Part 10: Paranoia No Stigma

I received notification that EK-0205 made it to Korea today (which is actually tomorrow, if you know any thing about time zones...  my brain hurts.)!!

I was about wretched with worry about the thought her sinking to the bottom of the ocean or some bastard asian mail handler kicking her around like Ace Ventura...  I am not normally like that about inanimate objects, but I suppose that I have an obvious emotional attachment to something that I worked on for so long.

Sad to say, but I will more than likely never see EK again  :( , but my sister is a photographer, and she took a LOT of pictures.  Thanks to SoyLatte (i call her Baf) for that...  Since she has been delivered to her new home, I feel as though I can post the finalized pics.

I present to you EK-0205 (fin)...

 the finished "garbage" base

Epic Action Shot!!!!!

I had a lot of fun with this, and I assure you that I will revisit EK-0205 again (when I think of an appropriately hilarious situation for her) in the future.

I came to the conclusion that I was put on this earth to make people smile, and so I must assume that my art is meant to do the same.  This little pink stormtrooper was conceptualized, and fabricated to elicit one of my favorite smiles - and I think I might have nailed it.

So.  mues vitalamen vobis, muse numerous unus is done and delievered.  Now I have an Ewok (of all things) that I haven't paid any attention to...  muse numerous duos, now on to...

you...ohs?  (God that was horrible!)

EK-0205 Part 9: EK,Where Are You??

After so being a brat for so long, and no mailing EK...  NOW IT HAS BEEN A WEEK since I mailed her, and still no word of her arrival.  It is affecting my ability to move forward on my current project.  More on that later.

/START RANT

Oh.  Sure.  I am SURE that it just "takes a while" and "Korea is f****ing FAR away" and i get that.

I have mailed things there before, and I realize that it may take longer that the 6-10 day estimate, and YES I know that it hasn't been 10 days yet....it's just...

I miss that little pink harbinger of The Galactic Empire, and her unnatural obsession with Hello Kitty and cephalopods...  and i hope like hell that she makes it to her new home okay.  I kinda did invest two months of my life in that 'little' project....

...sigh.

K'Ray Noobslappa Part 1: Changing Gears Before I Am N 2 Deep

I have been exceptionally busy at work, to the point that i STILL have not found a moment to go by the Post Office and ship EK to Korea.

Bad.  Ghetto.

Sigh.  So on to my next project:

As previously stated, K'Ray Noobslappa is an Ewok (yes....  I KNOW, Ewoks suck) standing triumphantly atop a mound of stormtrooper helmets.

I have been casting helmet after helmet in wax because I thought that it would be an really cool candle.  I also was casting each helmet in a different color because the recipient  of the piece lives... an alternative lifestyle... and I though that a "rainbow" pile of stormtrooper helmets would make a hellava statement.

I think that I am going to stick with the multi colors, but maybe not the medium.  Wax is great to make the helmet look marred and beat up, BUT if you leave the candle in your CAR i tends to start to melt.

This is no good.  :)

However - A SIDE PROJECT OF THIS has become a pile of Stormtrooper helmets cast as a candle, because it EERILY looks like a pile of human skulls, and that, my friends...

is Metal as fuck.
