Final Fantasy X Snow Sculptures

[auronlu]

Hi, folks. Terribly inactive for a while, but I thought this might amuse!

Visiting parents in Utah, I rediscovered the joys of snow. Especially dry, powdery snow that falls apart if you so much as look at it. That being so, my first Auron (and my mother's Lulu, to whom I added chopsticks made of weeds and several details) came out a bit corny:

The next day it got well above freezing, and I took advantage of the briefly sticky snow.

Snowcobo:

Auron (Life-sized, as you'll see from another work-in-progress (http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/auronlu/snow/auron6.jpg) photo):

His right arm lacks detail because if I'd so much as breathed on it, it would've fallen (as I proved to my satisfaction during about 10 previous attempts).

The next day the snow had gotten crusty and granular, making this 4.5-foot-tall Yuna the best I could manage:

Her right boob is not in fact levitating; it's the odd camera angle from below.

There's a lot of photos from other angles and close-ups in my Photobucket Album (http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/auronlu/snow/).

[Flying Mullet]

Wow, those are awesome! :)

The best I can do is write my name in the snow.

[scrumpleberry]

This is amazing! Much kudos to ya. I'd love to make brilliant snow sculpture but, you know, England :/

[Setzer the Gambler]

In the first picture, who is on the right?
I have difficulty recognizing the character...?

Other then that, not bad.

[Pete for President]

I really dig the snowcobo :choc:

[rubah]

doesn't the caption say the first one is auron and lulu?

I wish I had enough snow to try this ;_;;;;;;; so cool!

[Depression Moon]

That one that's supposed to look like Lulu looks nothing like her to me, but all the other ones are pretty cool especially the chocobo.

[KoShiatar]

They are super awesome, especially the chocobo! Too bad they won't last long...

[auronlu]

That one that's supposed to look like Lulu looks nothing like her to me, but all the other ones are pretty cool especially the chocobo.

That's because my mother isn't as familiar with the game. She played it a year ago. I tried to tweak the figure after she was finished, but I didn't want to change it up too much. ;)

They're all melted or covered with fresh snow now, alas!

And I never got a chance to do the almighty Basch and his potholder. I'll have to wait until next year, since I'm back in the land of no weather.

[Jessweeee♪]

Wow. This has to be the coolest thing I've ever seen ever ever o_o

[Frequency NecroKat]

Woooow. Those are beautiful! That chocobo looks great, and the second Auron looks like it would've just frustrated me in the process of making it due to my utter lack of skill. Great job! *wants it to snow like that in SoCal* ;-; *siiigh*

[Rocket Edge]

aha love it! Wish we had snow here..
