inktober sketch

I started doing this project on last year's lockdown out of boredom. And since all the shops that sells art materials are closed, I repurposed some old art supplies that I used in college and some materials lying around the house and play around with them.

I sculpted the base using styrofoam

Testing the tubing for the mist

Since the house is getting renovated at this time, there are lots of leftover

cement that I found useful in fortifying the base.

Miniature scale of Howl's moving castle that I bought from Japan surplus shop

For most of the part I used scrap rubber foam from my old school

projects and commission works.

I don't have a clay kiln or an oven to bake my terracotta clay

so I barbecued it in the stove haha

Adding details

Yey he's got feet

Texturing using soldering iron

Some of the scraps I used are gunpla runners and popsicle sticks

Base color

I then applied some metallic paints and weathered it with

burnt umber wash and toned down moss green.

I brushed some raw and burnt sienna for rust and weathering

I got some peat moss from my mother's garden supplies, dried it and colored it green 

I cracked open my diffuser just to get the atomizer haha

Makeshift tubing for the cotton to reach the basin of water

Ps That's not a pee

Two things will emit smoke either the atomizer or the circuit board haha

Yeezz

Essential oils arrived!

Not sponsored haha but if you want @YoungLiving.. hehe

We photographed it in my room using speedlight and a plastic bag haha

with the help of my friends Marco and Paolo.
