Marshmallow Giant . . . Part 2 of the Paint Study!

I'm having way too much fun with these paint studies, hope you are enjoying them as well.  After some thought...I'v gone back to keeping the giant in the perspective of a marshmallow, instead of a snowman. When do we ever get to see a giant marshmallow come to life, right!? Thought this piece was missing a little something, so decided to throw Green into the mix. It helps to visualize the size of this giant of marshmallows, and makes the piece more interesting.  Orange just wouldn't have a heart if he let Green get crushed by this thing, getting marshmallow goo into his gears. Friends don't always agree on things, but this time it looks like these two are in agreement with the pulverizing of this enemy giant.

This study started out with building this awkward marshmallow giant, and then setting up Orange... spearing him. As my mind kept thinking about this study of marshmallows, I got crazy ideas. I needed the look of real snow... we don't have snow yet on the ground here, so I needed a bright idea.  Started out with just a piece of plain white paper, then I thought it need some depth. So, grabbed a bed sheet for the mountains in the background...this helped but needed more of a snow feel.   TOILET PAPER...that's it!  (sometimes it pays to take a bathroom break ...smiley face sideways!).  I set up this scene on my glass desk, used a light underneath to make the white glow like snow. It worked out sooo well, and I didn't have to wait for it to snow outside.
