I hoped to get this posted yesterday, but TheDad was in town, so my
time was limited. Anyway, here's a fairly recent piece that I more
did more as an experiment than anything else. His name is PARKOD.
What the hell does PARKOD mean? It's an acronym:
Pretty
Angry
Robot
Killer
Of
Dogs
PARKOD started off life as a clear-with-sparkles-in Toy2R Dog Qee that
I covered in black Sharpie ink, leaving 4 areas uncovered--his hands,
his eyes and his nose. This was so I could experiment with light
passing through the clear plastic body.
I did color his eyes and nose red, though the red glowing effect was
achieved by aiming a laser pointer at it. The blue glow effect was
reached by aiming an ultraviolet penlight at it. The last shot is a
light-up plastic "icecube" that I hoped would cast light up,
through the head, and out his eyes and nose. Only kinda worked. :(
Still, I think I've got a good idea to expand this project, though I'm
not sure I'll have enough skill to make it work. We'll see!
