In the Studio

The Copperfox Welsh Cob has come a long way since my last post. He's not quite ready to paint yet, but he's getting close. Finishing up prepping is one of the most tedious times in the customizing process for me. All the pieces are where I want them, and all the sculpting work is essentially done. I'll think everything is good to go, only to find another tiny place that wasn't quite smooth when I spray the primer.

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.

I apologize for not posting here lately! It's about impossible for me to get any serious time to work with my computer during the holidays, but I'm finally starting to get caught up and I have a couple more posts I plan to put up this week.

In the Studio - Painting and Sculpting

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.

Lots of Spots

 

I've been working on the second artist's proof Truffle quite a bit over the last couple of days and thought I'd share a picture of my progress. He still needs a lot of work, but I like the way he's going and think he'll really start to come together once I start working on his points and blending everything together.

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.
