You've Got This Box

I made this girl several posts back... Today I made a box to house her.  I plan on making lots of different boxes to sell at Christmas...This is my first:

More Play With Toon Characters

Well, it seems that the only playing I have time for these days is putting my toon parts together.  But I am loving doing that!  The other night I decided to try and take a character through different stages of life.  I used the same hair, just played with color and style and used parts from three different characters for the bodies....

I realized, after making all of them that, while that could be a single person, it could also be a family.... now what do I do with them?

After I was done with that I remembered that I need a Graduation card for a friend's daughter...but I didn't have a darker skinned female character yet...so, of course I was off to buy one! (nothing like spending $32 for a PORTION of a card!  Pitiful!  I hate to admit it but I think I'm a little bit obsessed with these characters!  found here: www.tooncharacters.com.  And of course the 10 you can find over at www.mightydeal.com ... at an AMAZING PRICE!

More Toon Character Play.

I have been playing again.  I couldn't help myself, I bought the 10 Toon Characters on MightyDeal.com ... The main reason I decided to add these 10 characters to my other two is so I can mix and match the pieces.  As you may be able to tell, I used a female head with a man's body...but, I don't think you can tell that in the final picture.

The girl below is another where I pull different pieces to create the final..."WAIT!"  Her hair is actually from this little girl, I just deleted the pigtails...and the long part behind her back is the same as the front just flipped upside down and stretched.... A whole new character!

 And again, I used the same hair for this guy, just changed the color a bit.

"Samantha" Font Play

I am so excited to have a new font ... "Samantha" ... LOVING IT!

Here is a quick example that I did and shared on my friends and family Facebook page.  

Then, when people started "liking" it I started adding their names to it and sharing with them...here are a few:

I was able to get it on sale for only $17 !!!  HERE ... It is normally $75.  According to the site the sale is over  in 26 hours so if you want it HURRY!!!

Warning though, it is an Opentype font so you can only add the swirly bits if you have software that can handle it.  Like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, the latest version of Coreldraw and such.  It is still a pretty "upright" font without all the extras but you know, I like me some swirly bits!  I have actually wanted to use Opentype fonts for YEARS but couldn't because I didn't have the right software.  Feeling very blessed now!  :-)

A FANTASTIC Site for Fonts! (that aren't free)

Just had to share...

I have discovered a new (to me) place to buy fonts and other graphics, brushes and such ...CHEAP!!!  If you have been around long you know that I AM A FONT FREAK!!!  and today I went shopping... normally that is a very bad thing, but today it was a deal!  I got a package of ten fonts for $27 that would have been over $400 if I had purchased each individually from other sites.  I know this to be a fact because I plan to get this set of characters in a few days that cost $64 for ten different characters.  If you don't want to customize each character you can get lots of poses of each character for only $24 for all characters and their poses.  SUCH A DEAL!!!  I hate to admit it but I just bought two of the characters a couple weeks ago and paid $64 for the two!  The font site is HERE

the $24 version of one of the characters looks like this:

The more expensive version would have different, eyebrows, eyes, mouths, poses, arms and such that you can put together yourself if you use Art Illustrator. 

an example of something I put together with the set I purchased a few weeks ago (and paid $32 just for one character!)

Another font that is very popular now is "Samantha" ... normally $75 for only $17!

AND, THERE IS A 10% off coupon HERE

OH! and according to the site these deals are for only a few days so if you are interested you need to hurry!
