In the Studio

Just thought I'd share a couple of pictures of projects I'm working on now that NaMoPaiMo is over. First up is the first of my two Andre resins (sculpted by Sarah Rose.) He's almost ready to start painting. I resculpting him slightly with a new braided mane and tail as well as shoes. I plan on painting him a very dark brown with some subtle dapples.

Using a telephoto lens probably wasn't the best choice here; poor Truffle looks a bit squished from this angle.

I have a lot of different projects going on a the moment. Probably too many, and I probably should just pick one and finish it before moving on to something else, but I've never been able to get that to work.

Tonight I thought I'd share a couple of picture of models I'm currently working on.

 

First up is a Truffle resin I'm resculpting to a unicorn. This guy was a second that came out of the mold with an incomplete tail. He is one of the few Truffles I've made so far that has a magnetic base. There's still a bit more resculpting and a lot of prepping to do before he's ready to paint.

And this is a new sculpture I'm working on. He's 1:12 scale and still very much a mess at this point, but hopefully you can sort of see what I'm going for. I've gotten a bit further since this picture was taken; he doesn't need a block of polymer clay to stand any more and all the aluminum foil has been covered up.




 

Creating Truffle - Part Two

Truffle on February 17, 2016. He's looking a lot more refined, and even has a tail bone

I haven't been able to find any of my progress pictures from 2015. Fortunately there wasn't anything particularly exciting to show. I just worked on him on and off between other projects, and he spent a significant amount of time just hanging out on the metal edge of my TV cabinet.

Creating Truffle - Part One

I thought it might be interesting to do a series on Truffle's long journey from being bits of bent wire to a finished resin. This isn't meant to be a tutorial, just a series to give anyone that may be curious an idea of how I did things.
