BEHOLD! Gnombie 2! A while back I created the first gnombie and it had a TON of positive reaction. Problem was, I hated making it. The gnomes I bought to do this with were already painted and had a clear coat. I couldn’t find blank ones that I like the shape of, actually couldn’t find blank ones at all. So I had to paint layers and layers over that, then each color I put on it had to have two or three layers, then there are a whole bunch of crevices to get into, and finally putting the black inking detail on was one giant BITCH. It just takes WAAAAYYY too much time. I can’t find that happy medium where I can make these a good price for the customer AND make it worth it to me for all the time and supplies put into it. And don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the end result too. It’s just that the road to that end result is frustrating.  Aaaanyway, I did the first one, sold it, started the next one, then quit. I didn’t want to do the other one AT ALL. So he sat in my apartment for months. Then the other day I said SCREW IT, I’m finishing this stupid thing. With no rhyme or reason for the decision. It was just his time. I definitely tried some new things with highlighting colors on this one and as you can tell by all his shiny glory, he got a clear coat (He’s really not THAT shiny, but the light source was kicking on these photos). But yeah, I finally found a clear coat that doesn’t melt my ink details. Oh and for height reference he’s 13.5 inches tall. Well, his head stops at about 8.5, the rest is his hat. I freekin love the way this turned out, and I hope you do too! Hopefully sometime in the future I can find a good base sculpture for these guys the makes it less time consuming and more affordable so I can make a whole mess of these doods. Thanks for tuning in and comeback soon for more ghoulishly great eye candy. 

Awesomely yours,
