...and Piggy is done

[amberdreams]

What what what? Three posts in one day? What's cracking off?!
I did the best I could with my pig, but he does look a bit naff and amateur compared to the other big pigs. I'm hoping when they varnish him he will suddenly be transformed! LOL
So here is the finished Giant Swinion with all his mini!Swinions.
Backside

Side two


front view

I hope I haven't left any white patches! I did the underside on one side this morning then had to turn him back, and Paul had to go do his own thing, so the underneath on the other side is a bit rubbish. Hopefully nobody will look too closely!

Awww, I really love the piggy! All of the detail of so many faces and different characters must have taken so much time! I think it'll look even greater all varnished up, too. <33

It's taken me three 9-5 days to do it, and really it's not well painted at all, but hey, it's the best I could do.

Holy crap, woman! /pom poms and pom poms and more pom poms

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Some of that time was literally spent watching paint dry!!! LOL!

[herminekurotowa.livejournal.com]

It's very lovely. D'aaawwwww.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Glad you think so!

[fireheart13.livejournal.com]

I think he looks fabulous, and absolutely adorable!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the encouragement! :D

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

OMG, he's *adorable*!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's official - Swinions are adorable. LOL! Thanks!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, his FACE! That's amazing Amber!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks me dear!

[fufaraw]

You did such a good job with him! He's cute!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Hopefully kids will like him :D
Thanks!

[sillie]

I think he looks great! :D :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[fairyniamh]

Totally adorable! Really, you did a fantastic job. (Especially since you had to do it in a rush!)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks! The other pigs have all clearly been painted by professionals, so it is a bit scary t think mine's going to be sitting somewhere round town having people comparing it with those others!

[fairyniamh]

I confess, I did NOT like most of the ones I saw in your pictures. Not sucking up, but your Swinions has more... heart, fun, and soul in it. Let them judge, but you know you did the best you could in the limited time given. *hugs*

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Eee thank you, that is very happy-making!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

He's looks amazing sweety, wel worth all the back ache and odd angle painting :D Can't wait to see him in place :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Me neither! I wonder where he'll be...

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

When do they all get situated out and about?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

The launch party is on 20th June so I assume sometime after that. I've signed up as a volunteer Pig Trail warden (hee hee!) and that starts the beginning of July.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

We're getting video, right? lol!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

What, of the trail? Probably just a few photos, they are easier. :D

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

BooHiss! ;)

[ladygreytowers.livejournal.com]

Even if Paul had to skip out on you, he looks pretty great, for the small amount of time you had; to get him done after your return from JIB. Good job!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeeeeeee, I think he's adorable, too! I bow down to you and all your hard work! I'd love to see all the other piggies, too! :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

You can see some in the little vid I posted the other day.

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

I'll check it out. Thanks.

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

He looks awesome, and it's such a fun and memorable design. Well done Amber, I think he looks perfect!!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you!

[jimbobjoe.livejournal.com]

I think it looks great! In the LIMITED time you had, you got a lot of detail and fun in there!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Fun was the aim so YAY!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

*applauds like mad* Love the grin, love all the swinnions and love that tail poking out the back :-D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I can't take credit for the tail, but glad you like the rest!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

You put his pants on, didn't you? :-p

When will the pigs be presented; will they be around for a while?
(Looks like traveling for just a weekend is too complicated, but if they're still there for my vacation in September...)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how long the trail will be in place but I'll see if I can find out and let you know. I'm still hoping you and I will be able to meet up when we come over to Antwerp and Amsterdam in July!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Thank you:)

Oh, we definitely have to meet up. Let me know the date and I'll try my best to get to Amsterdam (FYI, Fridays are easiest to take time off, weekends are no problem at all, other days should be fine if I have at least a week's notice:)

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Had to come and find your piggy pic! He's wonderful, I love all the little Swinions too, especially the one peeking out of the pocket!

[aerynsun5.livejournal.com]

I told you it would be awesome!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

your faith is boundless and admirable. LOL!
