[roidvoid]

im going to be honest here and risk comming off as a jerk....
ur plushies are so much beter than ur 2d stuff.
they are amazing and i think you could make a career out of them. they are playful but weird and quirky in a hip but dorky way. i love them
really
really
for the plushies i will give u 5 stars

[Diphallia]

I don't know nothing about plushies, but those look.. Um, nice
As long as you're having fun with them it's okay for me.
Nice sketchbook, I'll most certainly check back here soon

[Coinpurse]

I told Dave I should be "Jumped" in Bwuahahahah!

Killer SB btw,
Voted for you in that contest
Cheers!

[Pseudocognition]

Omg. Plushies. They're adorable, they have this great graphic quality to them.... lots of personality. I want one D: Your 2D work has the same sort of attitude, but for some reason it shows more in your plushies, which might be what roidvoid was trying to say.

I love the card you made for your dad, I cracked up. XD And great animals~

[loveandasandwich]

Dave: But i didn't win! fuck that bitch!

roidvoid: yeah, i know they are hahah. thats why i make them a lot more than i draw now. ! Five stars for my plushies!?!? awesome. thanks!!

Diphallia: those umm... nice plushies got me a spot in three galleries! i have much more fun sewing these than drawing, hah

Coinpurse: Thanks! Too bad that cuntt beat me. shes dead.

Pseudocognition: Thanks! Yeah, I know whatcha mean. I'm not very good with drawing realistic sorts of things, I lose attention & I just want to have fun with what I'm drawing/making. Hahah, thanks! my dad loved the card... he cried actually when he saw it... strange.



I bet you all secretly hate me for posting all plushies & no 2d stuff.
too bad!



I sent this stuff out to the Kismet Gallery in Troy, NY for their Plush, Vinyl & Plastic show, opening on Saturday!!
If you live nearby, you should check it out. I wish I could. =(















The tags I made for them:



& some little handpainted beanie things that I put in my shop & didn't send to the gallery.










& a banner thing that I drew, & david colored on the computer for me. Thanks dave!!

my doodles ideas for it:

[Sketch]

Me likeeeee! I really dig how the Kanye West Bear (at least that's what I'm calling him) has a sense of movement. Like he's going buckwild on the dance floor and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him!

[Mr.Delicious]

niiiiiice, the rainbow jimmy bunny is sweeet. I like the cooler than kanye west bear . heres hoping you sell many things! GOOO CHELSEA!

[loveandasandwich]

Sketch: Hahah, wait are you calling the rainbow stripey one kanye? I named that one sabrina on its tag.

David: Thanksss! I like that one too, it just took me forever =(


Another update! Two in one day!
I finished up my lame 2D design project. This class sucks. On my last project, I asked my teacher something about perspective, & she said she "didnt know anything about perspective" WTF!? youre a 2D design teacher. stupid cuntt. erg. since then I've just been making cool stuff to hang on my wall.
aaaaanyway, This was a song project. I chose Run DMC- You be illin'





I layered different cardstock colors on the blue cardstock, & colored it in with sharpie. Their hats are cardstock too, & I colored around them.

[Mr.Delicious]

yeaaaaa good one.

[lefran]

I love these plushies! so Very Very cool I shall be checking your shop out missy ^__^

[loveandasandwich]

Dave: thanks!

lefran: thank youuuu! i hope you like it.



A self portrait, used the picture my avatar is, just to prove to myself that I can still render. Haven't drawn a portrait in a damn long time.
I'm happy with how it came out, at the bottom of my hair I kind of just went asuidhsaidfuherwiher...messy.



I took a photo of it.. it came out looking more like the actual drawing than my scanner showed.




Whatchu guys think?

[Mr.Delicious]

I think your face is a little longer, but the renderings very niice. I like the sunglass lense where you can see your eye through it.

[agelaos]

wow there, nice rendering on those shades. I agree about the short face needs to be a bit longer, also the lips are a little to slanted, which doesn't seem to be the case in the avatar. But no worries, keep it up!

[lennon]

Very good studies and pencil work. You can still check a little more the proportions of the heads, but your works are really nice to see.

[Dan Valkar]

nice plush toys...very creative stuff in here..love ur pj btw...oh and the owl its my fav...keep'em comin'!!!

[Flaskpost]

Beautiful self portrait. I wanna see more of those. =)
You´ve got the coolest sunglasses on the internet!
The Run DMC illustration thingy is flippin awesome as well!
Keep it up!

[loveandasandwich]

Horray! Replies!


Dave: Yeah, I think I was rushing that one a bit, because I was running out of time before I had to go to sleep.

Dennis: thanks dude! I definitely will be picking up the pencil now more since I have more time to.

lennon: thanks! of course i still have lots to learn, but ill keep practicing

Dan_valker: haha thank youuu!!

flaskpost: hahahah i won those sunglasses at a bowling alley for 500 tickets! they glow in the dark & they fuckin ruuule.




So... I made the O RLY? YA RLY owls last night & today.
They make me giggle, but I feel like a loser.

Oh well!
LOOK AT THEM.



If you've never heard of them, GET OFF THE INTERNETS.

They're from THIS:



My friend gave me around 100 4 x 6 fancy photo paper pieces, & I kind of went nuts doodling santas with funny outfits on, hahah.



I picked 10 I liked the most to color. I discovered while coloring them in that most of my markers were dead. How sad. I tried to make it work.


Sketchy santa


Alternative santa ... the background was neon yellow, but my scanner decided it was peach. =(


Pretty lady santa


Hipster santa


Trendy hoodie santa


Panda santa


Tough santa


Harry Potter santa


Chill santa


Britney Spears santa

[Mr.Delicious]

I like harry potter santa the most... and awesome owls lady!

[dadushin]

haha awesome! seriously...super cute
i feel like it would be a perfect gift for my girl
seems like you have a lot of fun doing them it really shows
as for more traditional stuff i think that last batch is great feels like you are finding and developing your own style
sweet yo keep it up!

[Sketch]

I like Panda Santa the most... just because it makes the least amount of sense.

[loveandasandwich]

Dave: I think I like that one best too, just cause of the colors & that damn cute owl.

dadushin: haha thanks! you should get her one i sell my stuff, haha. yeah i do try to just have fun with whatever I'm making. I guess that's my style, haha, silly cutesy shit.

Sketch: hahah, i think i just have to put pandas in everything.



SO!


Two things I finished today.









I'm insanely happy with how this came out... that's why there's so many pictures, haha. I've been meaning to make this guy since the summer!



& then I made this cute fuzzy monster.
I named him Copernicus, 'cause I've been watching Back to the Future part II a lot, haha.

[Mr.Delicious]

niiice ones, LOVE YOU

[Diphallia]

Wow, I missed a ton of updates.
Sweet plushies.
I like copernicus!
The plushies with sticky things on them are awesome! (post #215)

[AmontilladoAg]

You do excellent work, chica

Yer plushies rock the hizzouse and keep up the drawin's, too... that unfinished sketch of the birds looked really super cool!

I'm also likin' the stuff you do for your graphic design class, esp. the collage! I took one of those classes... grayscale made my eyes bleed Best thing about the class? Meeting my now-boyfriend

Keep crankin' out those crazy artz!

[Fayle]

Very funny plushies
Creative and cool style!

Cheers Fayle

[Smoke]

Those owls are well beyond awesome.

[moket]

your plushies are so sweet ! Now I must learn to sew.

[nofingers]

Thanks for the comment in my SB. Those plushies are pretty damn awesome. I think that the drizzle bunnies, and the most recent one (copernicus) are my favorites. I could definitely see those being sold in some funky art boutique.

[Sketch]

Nice update, Chelsea! I thought you might want to check out this artist's plushies... http://www.malotaprojects.com/new2/ If you go down to the design section and then click on 'xana, brownie & friends' They're pretty sweet might give you some new ideas!

[loveandasandwich]

Sketch: I'm in a toy show with her!! I saw her stuff before on flickr before. I wish I got to meet all these awesome plushie makers, but sadly I couldn't make it to the show opening. Ohhh weell. haha I was too excited about this to wait until I had something to update.
