Long time no.. Blog?

With the Christmas season coming (and my roommate watching the extended Lord of the Rings on Netflix) I completely forgot  - but am now excited to announce - that I will hopefully be completing my ultimate Winter project this year: The Fell Beast!

Now for those who don't know the Fell Beast are the winged "dragon" like creatures that the Nazgûl ride towards he end of the series.
[..it was a winged creature: if bird, then greater than all other birds, and it was naked, neither quill nor feather did it bear, its vast pinions were as webs of hide between horned fingers; and it stank. A creature of an older world maybe it was..]J.R.R. Tolkien
This has been a secret project I have wanted to do for a while, but has never made it to fruition yet. There are of course varied forms and adaptations of the fell beast's design to choose from. I will start by creating a full skeletal structure, along with organs (as many as I can fathom,) then I will cover it in muscle tissue, skin, texture, colour and finer details.
I expect the whole thing to weigh quite a bit AND take a fair amount of time to complete - but that's why I want to do it through the Winter to keep me sane. I will of course be photographing the process and completion of each layer.

Along with this I also have to complete a few other projects.. I have a few videos in mind (stop-motion, dancing and otherwise,) potential business partnerships and of course I will reestablish my blogging into 2017. As always thanks for your support & leave any ideas or requests in the comments! Does anyone want any funny Christmas/New Years videos?
