One of the very fun things at Reapercon was the VCR Challenge. Noel (GuyWithCoolBackpack) has posted some photos that include shots of the challenge in progress and on display. Basically, we were handed a few old bits of electronica, some screwdrivers, and some minis. This is what I made. The mini is the bones version of the sweeping lady from #2825 Townsfolk, and the base is the laser apparatus from a DVD player. When I saw the mini, I knew I needed a lens for her to clean, so I was glad to see the DVD player in the pile.
I painted her in a little over an hour, which is why I'm quite pleased with how she came out. At work here, you can see rough-and-tumble usage of techniques learned earlier in the con from Rhonda Bender (Basic Blending class) and Michael Genet (Weathering). The con was awesome, and the classes were The Best Thing Ever.
