Wooden Sprite Standees of Mega Man, Mario, & Bub

[MrGilder]

Hi everybody. My name is Chris. I just signed up on the forums.
My crafts are "wooden sprites" that I build block by block out of 1/2" wooden cubes and then hand-paint. I make both standees, and wall-hang plaques. Right now I'm working on pretty cool piece of Kirby and Rick, which you can see here.

But I also wanted to share some of my recent work.

Mega Man:


Mario (from SMB3):


and Bub from Bubble Bobble:


I'm looking forward to hearing what you all think. I sell many of my pieces in my Etsy shop, so if you know anyone who's looking for a cool display pieces, feel free to spread the word.

Here's a work-in-progress shot of Kirby and Rick: http://mrgilder.tumblr.com/post/1103700 ... irby-today

I finished painting them last night. I'm varnishing them this week.

Those are so cool looking! If I had a bigger bookcase, I'd want to get some as bookends How long do they take you?

How long do they take you?

How long? It really depends on how big the piece is. I have a regular 40 hr/wk job, so I don't get to work on them for long periods of time. An hour here, and hour there; so I've never really thought to keep track. Smaller pieces like Mario and Bub take maybe 8-10 hours total. Something bigger like Mega Man takes maybe twice that.
