I've had the Butcher from KD sitting on my desk waiting for inspiration to hit and my boyfriend says to me "wouldn't it be cool if he was a baby sitter?" implying he would watch demon babies for his friends but never set down his knives, and of course I can see it in my head and the ideas start flowing. Originally this idea was for another friend but she hasn't picked up her miniatures in a year or more now, so I claimed it as mine and went to work. Of course it took a while to get together the demon babies and playroom goodies. I was honestly surprised I could find baby room miniature bits. I didn't even use them all. But Wyrd came through and I ended up using the blocks, rocking horse and magic mirror.
I thought it would be fun to have them sitting on top of a toy box as a base and picked up one of those little wooden ones from the craft store gave it a good sanding and primed it black. The walls are styrene because I really didn't want to mess with anything more difficult. In the magic mirror i tried to paint the mirror from sleeping beauty but it didn't turn out as nice as I wanted. I still like it though.
Now I don't know how the clowns happened but I think it's because I wanted to paint something festive on the box, just like a normal toy box. They usually have pictures of trains, ballons, clowns and other fun things. Since this is a demon toy box I went for the scary clown first - Penny wise, and originally there were going to be ballons on the other side but they were just kind of flat. So I painted over them and started in on another clown - Bozo. I'll apologize to all the clown fearing people out there in advance. And of course the box says Toys on the front, can't you read it? It's plain as day. ;)
I know most of you are going to say WTF??? when you see this. But that's ok I would probably say the same thing.
