Time to level up

After sculpting my little cat like character, Logo20. I felt that it was time to try something new and a bit more ambitious.
First I did a little teddy bear to warm up, using non-hardening clay.



When I was comfortable and in the flow of things, I began constructing an armature using twisty ties that came from an action figure packaging.
I had a rough Idea as to how I would like the figure to look so I just went with it.







Bit by bit things came together nicely.
I made the hair the same color as the skin just to test an idea I had for a technique.
Later I will replace the hair with black clay. That also goes for her eyebrows and lashes.
I would like to make it seem like I sculpted each strand of hair.
I still haven’t given much thought for the clothes yet but I’m pretty sure that it will be Goth, and sexy.



The idea of making designer vinyl toys is sounding sweeter everyday.
I am hoping to have at least the head done by tonight. And I will be working out some sketches to help figure out what she will be wearing.

Ill see you all then.
