Progress

This is my first (albeit slightly twitchy) attempt at a 360 view video of a sculpture in progress. The sculpted whale shown in the video (on my new youtube channel) is for a forthcoming illustration on the subject of whaling.

I finished the last character for the illustration that I’m working on. Now there is just the background to do. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of the week. Hope you all like it!

This is the second character for an illustration that I’m working on. There is still one more old lady and the background to make to complete this illustration. She was constructed the same as the last old lady. It is made from Sculpey, foam, Apoxie and fabric, she is about 12″ tall.  Check back for the next character!!

This is what the first character looks like for my new illustration. There are still two more characters to go. I’ll post process shots soon.

Here is the old lady in her undergarments. I don’t always add “undergarments” but the fabric that I’m going to use for the shirt is a bit see-through so it was necessary.

I’ve added a detailed pic of the face and hair. I still have to finish painting the eyes and darken her roots, but it’s coming along nicely.

Above is a pic of the wire frame. I’ve added Apoxie to the connecting points just to make them a bit stronger. That way when I’m posing her the Sculpey doesn’t break, which happens sometimes because Sculpey is brittle.

Here are some process shots of one of the characters for my next illustration. There is still lots to do, but I’ll be posting process work as I go along. The ducktape is not permanent, it’s just there to hold the wire in place for now.

FACE DETAIL

I decided to change the bear a little from the last one I posted. I’m trying something a little different for this illustration. So check back for the final, I will be posting it soon.
