As promised, here are the results of my first experiments with colored clay. They were so much fun to make, I’ll definitely be doing more of these…

New Finished Work

Here they are..

This week was mostly about peering through a magnifying lamp, using a dental pick to make piles and piles of hair, taking small breaks when the room would start to spin and hoping my eyes didn’t explode out of my head from focusing on follicle after follicle.

More pictures below.. Click on them and they get bigger! Isn’t technology grand?

Enjoy!

New sculpt progress

I’ve been having a lot of fun working on this one, and progress has moved along pretty swiftly. The last time you saw him, he looked like this:

Then I refined the form a bit, did a bunch of work on the neck, and roughed out the major bony landmarks on the face.

Then I dove into the face, trying to find out who this little guy was going to be.

More work on the face, and some eyes and ears..

Then back to the chest and back.

At this point, I decided it was time to throw him in the oven before I went any further. And here he is, still warm from baking.

Next stop, hair, eyebrows, and a base!

Until then…
