The Nightman Cometh

When I was painting the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” set, I had the entire score of “The Nightman Cometh,” a rock opera performed by the main cast, running through my head the entire time. So it’s only natural that this set be the follow up:

It features (from left to right) the Troll, Coffee Shop Princess, Dayman, Nightman, and Charlie as Dayman: Champion of the Sun.

It’s utterly ludicrous. I highly recommend it.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

Someone requested a “Mean Girls” set a while back, which I agreed straight away although I didn’t see how I could find the time to paint it. But it got painted and here it is!

This one features Cady Heron, Regina George, Karen Smith, Gretchen Wieners, and an itty bitty fruity cocktail drink served by Mrs. George after school on a Wednesday afternoon. So fetch!

This gorgeous little cocktail is provided by Everyday Gourmet.

The Double Doctor Who Mega Deluxe Super Special Set

When it rains, it pours, right? On the heel of the simple set of 5 Doctor Who ones I’d only just painted last month came a request for a super mega double set featuring all the actors playing Doctor Who (one of them twice). As I had too much going on in the sweatshop to begin with, I resorted to painting this set after hours, often times after after hours. My friends and acquaintances wonder why I sleep in most mornings and wake up cranky, this is why. At night, however, it’s a different Irene altogether. That’s when things get done!

Both sets feature a Tardis each lovingly 3D printed by the Hubs.

Set A is:

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy.

Set B is all about:

Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith, David Tennant, David Tennant with glasses, Christopher Eccelston, John Hurt, and Paul McGann.

Some details:

I got used to having bits and piece of the doctors and a Tardis or two sitting about the sweatshop in the last two months. Will definitely miss these little mascots  when they’re gone!

Doctor Who

Several people have, over the years, asked me to paint Doctor Who sets. It usually resulted to nothing as that show’s been on since the Dawn of Time and it was hard to secure the correct amount of dolls to recreate all the Doctors over the years. I myself am not too keen on the idea of painting the first doll as the Tardis, although many have done it and made it look good. As luck would have it, one of my returning customers requested a simple Doctor Who set this year…and the Tardis didn’t turn out so bad.

This one features the 10th Doctor (David Tennant), Rose, Dalek, and the Weeping Angel.

I was very vocal about my dissatisfaction of having to paint the Tardis as a doll, so much so that the Hubs 3D printed me a mini Tardis.

But wait, there’s more! I was so happy with the 3D Tardis that 2 more large ones were printed for an upcoming massive 14 Doctor Who dolls project (David Tennant gets to be painted twice for this one!).
