Like I said. Two weeks left. I don't know what place I'm in right now, but I know for sure that I'm not in the top three and that is where I'd need to be to earn any of the prizes. Go here:  http://www.otakuhouse.com/cosplay-idol/north-america-finalists-2011/april-martin/  and Vote!

While there, go checked out some of the other amazing cosplays including:

Of course, when the day ends, this is just an online contest based mostly around popularity. And I haven't been the cosplay world as long as the three featured. I don't expect to win, but this is a fun way to meet new people and let them know about what I've built and worn. 

The 11th Dr is done. I think. I might go back before varnishing it and darken some of the shadows. But before I mess it up, I'm moving on to the 9th Dr.
I'm really happy with my progress on these oil paintings so far. I can even see myself getting better with each one. The strokes are becoming more natural and I'm even ignoring the pencil lines and just letting the paint do what it wants.
And movie news: Most of the prop concepts are close to %100. I just have one more to get approved and then I can start on the construction. I even went and picked up some half round styrene rods yesterday and words can not describe how excited I was to have them. I think it mostly stems from what I've seen Blind Squirrel and Volpin do with the same supplies and now I get my chance!

They just opened this morning and I'm in the top 40. I had to enter three other cosplays into the event for voting. That includes my 7 from the movie 9, Tali from Mass Effect, and the Silence from Dr. Who.
Please come by, take a look and vote! It would be awesome to make it to the top three!

I'm doing a series of every version of the Dr. Started with the 10th. Next is the 11th.
Plus a quick Disney illustration for a friend.
