As you may know, I enjoy participating in the various gift exchanges through Reddit Gifts. It’s like doing a secret santa, only with thousands of other people, and for specific categories of things.
I was so pleased to open my Coffee Exchange parcel yesterday! My package came from Macedonia– and contained Turkish coffee! I tried making a cup this morning, and it was delicious (Without cream?! Amazing.). Very flavourful, and unusual.
In writing news, my short story “The First Gentlemen’s Galactic Scavenger Hunt” has been shortlisted for the World Weaver Press anthology, “Far Orbit- Speculative Space Adventures”. I’d be super happy to see this one in print; I feel like it’s actually a project I’d like to expound upon a bit. A scavenger hunt in space: what’s not to love?
I have also entered my screenplay in a contest to win tickets to PitchFest, where I would get a chance to hook a studio. That would be totally mathematical.
Currently, I’m continuing a read-through of my Spell Carriers series, and I’m into the second book. The first book took me three days, though it would have taken less if I weren’t making edits here and there. It was a pretty easy read. Trook Hunters starts off more complex, having had book one to set it up.
Anyway! Enough ramblings. What’s important here is seeing how they did the Arc Reactor makeup for Iron Man.
Painting on the latex.
A lot of latex.
A good sport.
Different colours for the different layers.
Airbrushed to make it look real!
They can peel the latex back and make it look like skin.
Final effect: amazing.
And, seeing as I have duck brining in the fridge, this:

Well, I’ll keep you posted. I hope one of these days to have some truly excellent news for you. For now, I’ll keep at it. I know that one day all this work I’m doing will pay off. I hope it’s soon, but I’m in it for the long haul. 🙂
Cheers guys.
Heidi out.
