Corinne "Potato" Kennedy's Art

Where I post some of my artwork

[potato-minecraft]

So I have a D&D character named Greer (bottom pic - designed by my BF and colored by me) and decided I’d start using Minecraft to sketch what I imagine their hometown is like. Starting from a flat world that is all swamp and building everything from scratch in creative mode. Only 1 farmhouse so far as buildings go.

I’m going to try and combine a medieval/viking sort of aesthetic with gothic architecture. This house is leaning more medieval/viking than gothic, but I figured a little farmhouse wouldn’t exactly have soaring towers and flying buttresses and massive stained glass windows.

Heroforge Mini Design

Ever wanted a Heroforge mini of your character but just didn't have the time, know-how, or patience to make one? This spud would be happy to help! I'd love to translate your character into Heroforge for you. You can check out the listing on my Etsy here:

 https://www.etsy.com/WishUponASpud/listing/1346412657/heroforge-design-service

This is ONLY for the design service and for the time and effort it takes me to create, pose, and color your mini. I DO NOT print or ship the physical mini to you. That service will have to go through Heroforge itself. I cannot make copyrighted characters. The characters must be original content, created or owned by you.

Letters for SCP 049

I was thinking about SCP 049. What would happen if he received letters from an anonymous/aliased penpal? Someone who admitted to not being a medical professional but to having a fascination with him and his work. In this way he could interact with a person without the person ever being in danger of being in physical contact. How would 049 react? Would he be more willing/able to explain with the idea he was speaking to a lay person/potential student/fan or would he think it a waste of his time and effort to even respond with more than just a courteous turn down?  If he did start writing letters, would they be more intelligible than his writings in his journal? I just wonder if this would help researchers get more information from him and if it would benefit them as they'd have written records of every interaction.

Made some more progress on Castle Keystone. Detailed out the front edifice. Still LOTS more to do and it’s intimidating but I’m still plugging away every now and then. The second pic is from a nearby village. I just though it looked cool way out on the horizon.

Let me know what you think or tell me some of your favorite building blocks/tricks. I’d love to know.

Survey

As I learn new skills and come up with loads of ideas for things to add to Wish Upon A Spud, I'd like to take a survey. What kinds of things do you go to Etsy to find? How important is customizing/personalizing an item from Etsy for you?

A bit more progress on those towers I shared yesterday along with a few overall shots. Working on one bit at a time and trying not to get myself overwhelmed.

[potato-minecraft]

Finally decided to try to get back to building Castle Keystone. (I know, it’s been forever.) Hadn’t felt motivated to do anything with it til now. Spent a lot of time fighting with these rectangular towers on the lower levels and their buttresses. They weren’t originally part of the design but I came back and the massive blank tiers overwhelmed me immediately so I thought I’d break them up a bit. I kept playing with the roofs. I like that they echo some of the ones from the front of the castle (not that you can see them from this angle…), but they feel like they take up a lot of space.

Also remembering the days without fill commands and structure blocks and not missing them. It’s nice to copy something over instead of having to wholly rebuild it. Although its also scary. I’ve been burned by loading my structure block in the wrong place or filling the wrong area in the past. 

Let me know what you think and if you want to see more of the castle some of my earlier posts and stay tuned. I’m going to do my very best to actually finish this one, at least the exterior.

So what did I end of making out of that oversized glove I showed you yesterday? I made a friend  Meet Schnoofles the Hedgehog, a beautiful oops.

[ckennedy721]

Ever tried to make one thing and ended up with another? Well, that's what happened this week. Made some silly mistakes in this fingerless glove (my first crochet project). I learned a lot & turned failure into something better. Tomorrow find out what. Hint it’s not gloves ;) Read the full story here: https://tinyurl.com/a2hf6hs8

I was feeling quite pleased with myself about something and wanted to share the "fun I done" as Adam Savage would put it. Last month I was commissioned to make a very special custom plush. Yesterday it safely arrived at its destination and now it's safe to talk about it.

I was commissioned to make a puffin, but not just any puffin. A very specific Tufted Puffin. She wanted to gift this fellow to a friend who studied the birds, and one particular puffin, banded TP-10 and nicknamed Ten-ten, was their favorite. I lot of work went into this little guy. Research too, I now know more about puffins than I did before all this. He was a lot of fun to pattern and stitch and I'm thrilled with how he turned out.

I heard from the client that Ten-ten's new owner is thrilled and she's a rockstar with them for sending such a clever and thoughtful gift. I'm proud to have had the opportunity to fulfill those wishes for both of them. I'm very glad to hear how happy this little fella has made them both.

Paper Roses (Handmade to Order)

When you purchase this item youll get a half dozen hand-cut and sculpted paper roses, perfect displaying in your home or gifting to others. Each rose is unique. Petals are cut in varied shapes and sizes to give the sculpture a more natural look. May have size variance. Lasts far longer than a normal

These are pretty much the last few days for you to try and get something for Valentine's from Wish Upon A Spud. I cannot guarantee items will arrive before the 14th, but beyond today the chances decrease because of processing time and shipping time through USPS. So, check out the little shop and see if there's anything you'd like before the window closes! Might I recommend the roses?

Also I do take custom orders if you don't see something you want. I can make plushies, various paper crafts, drawings/paintings. Just hit the Request Custom Order button on the shops sidebar and we can talk about what you're wishing for and whether or not this Potato can grant it. Please note that custom orders are unlikely to be complete by St. V's as they require a extra prep time, research, and design work.
