Balloon model challenge number 1 - RESULT.steemCreated with Sketch.

in challenge •  7 years ago 

Hello Stemians,

Last week I put out a challenge to make a balloon model from one of the suggested models. You can read it here: https://steemit.com/challenge/@gwb235/new-ballon-model-challenge-number-one

Well, there was only one suggestion, from @brisby, which was for a balloon model version of Beetlejuice. I have a couple of photos of the process of making him, but I guess I could have done more, but I wasn't confident in this model, but I might just have gotten away with the resulting fella, but only by the skin of the teeth, which Beetlejuice has much of :). Here's the finished model.... well, his head, for now :) :

These models never quite look right on their way to being made and can sometimes put you off, because they look so flimsy or weird, but the more you do the better you get and you have to continue, just to see what becomes of it. The following pictures may explain what I am trying to say, better than I presently am :).

This is the earliest picture taken and it looks a bit odd.

The basic facial features went on (I'm no artist) and I ralised that the legs were too thin.

So, I changed one of his legs, but it was a teeny, weeny bit too long...

I added another leg, made the both equal and shorter, added boots and hands:

And all that was left was to add the hair and colour the trousers and a few tidy bits and bobs and this is the result:

So, I hope that you liked it.

You did a fantastic job! I had no idea what the result was going to be, and now, I can't think of a balloon Beetlejuice looking any other way.
Thank you for making this! Your Beetlejuice looks ready to party!

Hi @brisby. This is weird, because I thought that I'd typed a reply earlier, but don't know what happened to it??? Thank you for the reply and thanks again for the suggestion. I do feel that another attempt in the future at Beetlejuice might be worth a try and I'm going to try to work out how to make a small one.

It was a fun thing to do and I appreciate your support, from the beginning and throughout. I had a night of him looking at me last night and making occasional squeaky noises as he settled into shape. I had to move him at one point and was trying to remember how many times I'd said his name :).

All the best, mate and thanks again.

Love it the hair is great, really captures his craziness :) x

Thanks, I reckon most people could guess who it's meant to be with three guesses........... or fourish.............. or something :).

Thanks for the comment and hair was based on something you said, so I made a millipede and filled it with hair, and looked okay enough and mad enough. He keeps creaking as he settles........................
