"It may seem like a dream, Things are not what they seem, Now begins a new adventure for you..." Woo! Made in Japan! Such a fun theme to play with. I had so many ideas, but I eventually settled on using a classic Japanese children's movie as my reference. This is my take on My Neighbor Totoro using Wyrd minis I wanted to continue practicing my freehand for this entry, so the backdrop, nameplate, bus stop sign, and Teddy's arm embroidery are all freehand. I had a lot of fun with Teddy's arm, as I got to introduce another tie in to the movie in the form of the soot sprites. I hope you guys like it. And here's hoping I reach the finals. Now I'm gonna go watch that movie again!

"The wind howls, Signs of life flicker and fade, The dark lady calls, And something wicked this way comes." This entry was very tough. Due to a recent move I was very pressed for time. However, I still attempted to push my skills and for this entry I decided to focus on creating textures where there are none. Much of the surfaces are only freehand and not physically sculpted to the model. The stockings, the engravings on the tombstones, the front panel on the altar, the text in the book, the wing texture, etc. All of it is freehand. I'm pleased with how well my freehand skills are progressing and I hope you all enjoy it enough to send me into round 4!
