Zukie Time!

The Zukie

To start the new year off I tried a new vinyl platform,The Zukie. It was created by Alison Perez. She has a store at Storenvy that offers the blanks and some other great art. 

I had been watching her work with the Zukies on Instagram and had been wanting to try one out. They are about 4 inches tall and consist of the body and head. 

I bought two and then had to figure out what to do with them. They seemed perfect for a bear don't you think? Me too. I started playing around with the idea (at work) and came up with The Duke.  
  

          

Meet The Duke, my first new character of the year. I imagine him to be a wealthy Panda that is an inventor and adventurer. As for his name I am leaning towards Sebastian. I am working on a larger sketch with him piloting some sort of airship, but I have no idea how that is going to turn out. 

FINALLY...

I completed my first combination of Munny and Steampunk'd duck last night. I am quite happy with how it came out. They will be going to their new home soon. 

I definitely learned many things that I would and would not do next time. I am already toying with a different idea. BUT, that must wait. 
Time to make this month's androids. I have a couple of new ideas that I think I will try out. 

Here are the pictures of the completed 'Professor and Duck.'
