My first attempt at compositing digital effects. Uploaded well-before videos went viral, in it's first year it got in excess of 500,000 hits.

Re: C.E.P. (Crazy Eric Projects) - TARDIS Jeans
Working on a new project, the 4th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver (Doctor Who)
I originally tried to shape the piece on a makeshift lathe, but it wasn't precise enough. The new piece is made from a dowel wrapped in different sizes of masking tape.
The tip is made from a small dowel shaped with sand paper and secured into a piece of PVC with penny nails.
The next step is to Dremel off the ends of the nails and secure the tip to the handle.

Got a nice compliment on the TARDIS jeans -a stranger asked if it was an iron-on they could buy.

A change of pace, I also do a little digital painting. I'm far from a pro, but with enough time I can usually come up with something I like.
From a few years ago, this speed painting took about 3 days (off and on) condensed down to about 6 minutes.
Done on an old PC using Paint Shop Pro -a very rudimentary drawing program that still has a special place in my heart.

Lots of work in progress, but haven't finished cutting video yet. In the mean time, how about an oldie but a goodie?

The newest C.E.P. Episode is uploading -turning a Barbie into a Doctor Who Weeping Angel.
The newest project? A custom painted/airbrushed Superman Logo poster.
Here's a quick-and-dirty test piece:

Hey all-
Daughter is a HUGE fan of Legend of Zelda -games, comics, books, you name it...
She's currently writing a screenplay for a movie based in that universe that she wants to shoot with here friends. As part of the effort, she asked if we could do a father/daughter project to build a Hylian Shield.
Sure, of course -no Dad can refuse his daughter (right?). With each successive Father/Daughter project I try to have her do more of the work with me moving into an assist role. The exception is anything involving power tools -although I'm sure that will change as she gets older.
Here's progress over the last 3-4 weeks...
Finding a reference pic and blowing it up to use as a template
Pink sheet insulation cut on a bandsaw and glued to the plywood backing in layers -then lots of sanding
More pink sheet insulation to make the detail pieces. Daughter traced the shapes onto foam and cut them with a foam cutter, then I shaped them with files and sand paper
We did the bird detail by gluing the stencil to foamcore then cutting the shapes with an eXacto knife. To seal the piece and protect it from spray paint we coated it with several layers of Modge Podge (too much -now we have a bit more clean-up to do than I'd like)
We use drywall sparkle to fill-in and smooth defects, then sand and repeat. We're a little further along than the current set of pictures indicate, we've actually done several coats of primer (pictures to come soon).
The goal is to finish this weekend, we'll see....
We're taking lots of in-progress video, so I'll have one or more C.E.P. episodes covering the build.
Stay tuned.

Re: C.E.P. (Crazy Eric Projects) - Hylian Shield Scratch Build
We were able to spend most of Sunday working on the shield, great progress.
Time to hit it with red putty:
Adding the borders around the crest and TriForce and the pegs to the border:
Anna finished up the weekend by using Sculpy to create the borders around the lower TriFiorce pegs:
Getting dangerously close to paint...
Thanks for looking.
