Lucky-Tiger from Germany.
Features moving jaw, full custom set of tiger teeth, molded paw pads and two dozen whiskers.

Since LJ picture archive resizes and ruins most pictures,
I only placed thumbs here and put the nice ones in my DA-Gallery.

Tadaa ! Mystic-Creatures' NEW studio is finally operational.

Whew, it was a lot of work, but now we have a 100% costume dedicated workshop.
With bonus points for: Windows you can open, storage space, well enough working heating, photoshoot space.
The only thing left to do is install a dozen full spectrum daylight neon tubes.

I guess it won't look this tidy for long:





( And if you want to peek into our fur storage, click here !Collapse )

So now: Back to producing things. :-)

With the very kind help of Vauvi, Buewolf and Stitch Mimulus,
all my furniture and workshop stuff has been moved into the new studio.
Where the heck does all this stuff come from ?
Cleaning this up takes several days for sure.

What a mess:



( More junk behind the cut:Collapse )
Almost there now. :-)

No more pink ! Studio is painted nice and bright and white.
Ready to move all the stuff in. And a lot of stuff it is. ^x.x^

So here we have a few impressions of the new studio.
As you can see, there might be a little work to be done.
For the time being, I get electricity via extention cord from the floor above.

It happened. We have to leave the old studio rooms now.

Good: We got to rent other rooms in the same building, so moving will be fairly easy.
Bad: The landlord was quit unflexible with the rent. It's now higher than in the other rooms, while being smaller at the same time. And again some rooms have no windows.

I got the keys yesterday. Inspection result:
Water is functional, but no electricity yet, and the walls are painted PINK !
So first thing today: Buy white paint.

Working on a custom set of realistic Tiger-Teeth today.
Sculpting, casting and demolding.
And coughing up epoxy dust.

Kids: Do as I say, don't do as I do. Use dust respirators !

Since unfortunately several issues keep delaying my costume work, it is about time I update the queue plan.
(Such things like part time out-sourced company work, loosing the workshop and needing to relocate, building new infrastructure,..)

Again, I am terribly sorry for the delays. Should you find that your commission is being delayed for too long now, and that you would rather not wait that long, I can understand that and you can opt out any time.

A friend from the US is coming to pay a surprise visit over the weekend.
Therefore no streaming this weekend. :-)

Since the landlord of my studio had to close and wall up my windows, due to very strange building regulations and contracts,
my workshop now is without windows and no real ventilation. We have now sent due notice for the end of this year.

If we are lucky, we can rent other rooms in the same building for a fair price.
That would be the least inconvenient thing. Still, all this delays my work a bit.
