Paper Portraits: True Blood

paperkutz · Post by **paperkutz** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:58 am

Hey Everyone, Paperkutz here. I'm new to the SCAL forum. Some of you might know me from other forums. I finally took the plunge and got the SCAL software. I'm a big True Blood fan and decided to try out SCAL by designing a series of 5 paper portraits to practice. I just finished designing the last one today. They are: four 8x10's of Bill, Eric, Sookie, Jason and a 12,12 of a Sookie & Eric group shot. I plan on adding some red embossing liquid for the blood drops.

I will spend the next couple days to cut them and will post them back to this thread as they are finished. Check by later.

(update: all four of the 8x10 portraits are up. I think the detail for the Sookie & Eric group shot is a little too intricate to cut for a 12x12 size. I will probably have to hold off until I can upgrade to a large cutter. If there are any brave souls who has a 24 inch cutter and wants to take a go at it, let me know.)

Here is my paper portrait of Eric Northman from True Blood. I decided to use this product called 3D Crystal Color Lacquer to make the Blood. I think it adds a lot to the finished look.

Here is my portrait of Bill Compton from True Blood. In the next few days, I should hopefully finish the rest in this series. Make sure to check back later.

I just finished Sookie Stackhouse. She was a little more difficult to cut in an 8x10 size. Tomorrow night I should hopefully finish the series with Jason Stackhouse.

Here is my final portrait in the True Blood series. Jason Stackhouse. If anybody has any suggestions for my next portraits, let me know. I would love to hear your ideas.

Hi, I'd love to see them cut. What a fantastic idea.

They are. The very first image was just a screenshot of Eric in SCAL all designed, but the other four images are the final product; cut, glued and red crystal lacquer added.
