Tofu Flying - Painting in Progress

As mentioned below, this is my current progress on Tofu the Dog in his airplane. (He says it's his airplane, I don't know where he got it or where he keeps it)

It is about half, maybe two thirds, or maybe even three quarters done. I want to adjust the lower shading on the nose/prop, and I'm still working on the lighting on the tail. I also am not entirely pleased with the highlights on the top part of his plane; I think it's very close, but needs a little bit of work.

I only blocked in the color for Tofu this past weekend so there is still work to do on him yet. Of course I'll be adding a propeller also.

Printing

Work on the Were-Fu had me stumped and I haven't touched it since I last posted. Instead I've just been working on what ever I happen to feel like at the moment.





One of those things has been a linoleum block print of the Tofu Take Out drawing. Above are one of my better prints and the block. Carving it out was a lot of fun and was really easy to get into, except possibly the detailed parts. Those were a bit stressful. The actual printing was also fun, ink, ink, ink... print, print, print.

Next I'd like to do red ink on the "Tofu the Dog" words and black on the rest. I also want to get some fabric inks to do prints on shirts. I just need to dig through my laundry and find some shirts to slap some "Tofu Take Out" on, and what color inks I'd like.
