Finished Bug
I have finally completed it and honestly, it looks better than I thought it would. The result is unbelievable. I am so impressed with how it turned out. This is something I will be mentioning as a project if I ever get the chance to make models professionally someday.
Kystie did a great job photographing it and it really brings it all together how the lighting is. It makes the model highlight its best features. I just can't believe I made this. Everyone I have showed this to is impressed. I feel like this is a passion I didn't know I had.

Poster Update
I added more of a texture to it and wrote out the actor names per Josh's advice. Looks good adds a lot to he image and I think it was great that I asked Josh to see his opinion. If I didn't I think it would have been too boring.
This is my finale poster it took a lot of time and effort but I am positive it is done!

What Do Labs Look Like?
Labs are often linked with the colour white or the colours blue and green especially if it is a biology lab. They have test tubes chemicals and all kinds of things. Here is a few examples of what a lab looks like.
I plan to find time to draw a lab for my beast so I know where it came from. I think it would be really neat thing to add more to the story.

I'm adding interesting doodles to my page because it looks kinda empty and boring so I am adding colours and all sorts of little drawings to make it more interesting!!
On another note these colours are very tasty and I probably would eat them.
I am adding little messages and colours to this one too, the main reason is so that I can add them to my portfolio without too much worry of if it is filled or coloured enough.

These are very cool bugs and I love them they are the cutest babies ever.
I love seeing Tenebrionidae on trail. They always look like they know where they’re trying to go.

Finished Poster
it took a lot of trail and error but I have finally finished the poster. You can see I changed the type of dress so it would fit the time period. It was not as common for women to wear jeans at this time. I also added a queen controlling an army as well as moving the actor names around. I struggled a lot to match the look I want but I can't seem to get it so this is close enough.

The End Of The Model
I asked the man in the workshop to make a hole in my tree and the bug in a certain way. I felt bad having to ask for help but I did not at all know what I was doing. He did as I asked in the right positioning and put the rods in the perfect size. It was a little painful watching him drill into something that I had spent weeks on but it turned out ok. I painted the wire to blend in a little better into the environment and I think it looks pretty great. I wish I could have found a better way to do this but I had to. I stuck them in with PVA and at the moment it is staying up pretty well.
I wish I glued it better but I am happy with the results none the less I think it looks pretty great for my first big model.

Putting It All Together
I put PVA glue on the base of the model after glue gunning the mushrooms I finished making to the brown painted base.
I sprinkled dirt on top and got rid of the excess leaving this dirt look on the base which is what I wanted.
I glued some of the mushrooms to the side of the log and added little grass bits and tiny pinecones moss all sorts to add the cool details I wanted.
It was really great to put this together and it took so long before I could finally just do it but I am so glad with the results. It was really hard to find placement for certain parts but I found my way around it and finished painting all the mushrooms. I wish it didn't take so long

Finished Painting Progress
I painted these today and used a flicking technique to get the mushroom spots and I think it looks pretty good, there was some mess ups with the splatter going a bit crazy but I think it looks really good otherwise. reminds me of these M&S chocolate mushrooms I got for Christmas.
I added white spots to my centipede, to match the little details on the mushroom. I am so proud of it but I wish I could have made the banana look more like a banana it just looks kind of weird inside of it.

Painting The Grubs And Mushrooms.
I started with a white wash over everything apart from the tree mushrooms which I used a yellow wash over. I waited for it to try make it easier of the yellowy colours to go on top.
I painted the grubs green as I always wanted to do. I also put another layer of yellow on the tree mushrooms and put the murhsroomy colour on the normal shrooms.
This is what I finished that day, I painted everything and painted the red cap of the mushroom. The next day I got back into it and started painting on it more.

The Tree Shrooms
With the tree shrooms I struggled a lot to make them look good at first. I made a base out of foil and put sculpey on It and It looked really ad so I tried a different style of creation without using tin foil.
Instead I did this and I made quiet a few!
I added little mushroom gills too. You can see in the background how many I made. Making them is pretty simple.
Kystie showed me how to do this before I replicated it so many times.

Tree Grub
For my FMP I need little grubs to go on a log. This is how I did it.
For the first grub I made a little tinfoil ball and wrapped it in sculpey, making a little ball.
I added a few details and curled up some wire to stick in through the sculpey and tinfoil. This method is not the best and you can see here I came up with a better one.
Instead I made a little U shape out of some wire and I curled the edges with pliers then covered it in tinfoil before finally adding the sculpey.
You can see here I made a little smooth bean then added these indents around the body. I think it is looking pretty good so far.
I indented it a little more and added a small mouth before i finally finished! I am so glad with the little guy and I am so excited about the results!
They are finished and I will be using both for my project.

The Model Base
My model looks great yes but what will it look greater with? A base of course, a look into the little habitat that the Bananapede lives in.
I finished with the mudrock and am finally ready to put some paint down so that white does not peek through the dirt. I am really excited and I can't wait to add more details to the base.
Here it is all painted up and drying! I am very eager to add the dirt but I have to finish the little mushrooms and glue gun them to the painted mudrock before I can add dirt!
here is my idea and I can't wait to do it! I don't know if i will be able to do everything but I am hoping I can.

Poster Progress
I changed the expression of the woman to look more in peril and added some colour to the mouth. I have decided to go for a personal style when it comes to the poster. Sure the colouring is on theme with the original poster design, but the characters I am drawing are more in my way of drawing characters. I also added a radiation symbol because bananas have trace amounts of radiation. I also added some actor names to make the movie look more legit.

MUSHROOMS
This relates all my projects together, the fungus of the future. I keep somehow having to make or discuss or look at mushrooms when it comes to my projects. This one not as much tho, I'm simply looking at these as something I need to add then want to add. Without mushrooms how would you know it's in a forest? Anyway, I have looked at a couple different mushroom types, I fell in love with one or two that look pretty neat. I love the more complicated ones but I also love the simpler ones. Examples of types I like:
But in the end I decided on the following types:
These are kind of the type of mushrooms I am adding to my model. They are cool unique and I find them very interesting. And I wanted to have a more simpler look considering all the work I have already put into the project.
