I recently was reading about wordpress 3.0 and well I am a huge wordpress fan. So I just had to upgrade and in the process made the decision to overhaul my website and well this is the results of that overhaul. I am calling this design emboyd v3.0 seeing is how this is the third installment in my ever changing website redesign. I have added a lot of new features and at this point I am still not completely done. I have lost the last years content and as such I hope to replace it soon. So this site will see many updates and changes to come in the content department. More sections will be added as well. I hope to actually get some real tutorials up for the first time. So hope you all enjoy what I have done and look forward to what I have coming shortly.

So I was looking to get back into sculpting and I recently built some armature stands. So I thought I’d take the time to share how I do this and what materials were used. There are many kind of stands out there and when you can find information on them you will see each sculptor has their own method. Finding tutorials and material list though never seams easy to find. I’ve done this tutorial with images, hope you like: Read the rest of this entry »

Christmas after Christmas, I have wanted to do some custom artwork for my friends and family. Never before have I actually had the time to accomplish this, but I decided to give it a real shot this year. So I purchased some 4×6 picture frames and began work on the custom art for my friends. I tried to make each one reflect the friend that was receiving the artwork, this was a harder task than I thought it would be. Here are the results of that idea.

If you read my last post entitled “Kid  At Heart”  you know how much fun I had with the single shot Nerf gun, so you can imagine how excited I was to discover they have a six shot revolver. However after purchasing a few, I was disappointed in the standard yellow color you see in the back of the newly painted ones I created. So here is what happens when I get bored. As you can see I repainted them to look more interesting and less kid-like. I am after all 29 years old. Even my friend got her own pink princess gun!

Whats really cool is there are tons of people out there who have done and gone far beyond what you see here by me. Google Custom Nerf Guns and you will see some pretty crazy and fun stuff.

So I recently have come to terms with what I already knew to be true. I am a big kid at heart and hope to always remain such. This last weekend I spent some great quality time with a friend of mine and her kids. Interestingly enough after a great day of bike riding, playing Nintendo Wii, lego’s, and cards. At the end of the night after the kids were in bed. We were cleaning up and in the process stumbled across an unopened box of Read the rest of this entry »
