Description My completed bobblehead of a kodama from Princess Mononoke!

The armature is wire and aluminum foil, I sculpted it using air dry clay, and I finished it off with a few coats of acrylic paint and glossy, spray on sealer.

I'm very happy with the way it turned out ^_^ Again, the bobblehead tutorial I followed was provided by yingmakes Be sure to check it out if you're interested in making a bobblehead of your own...fav.me/d37i720

Here's the bobblehed in its unpainted stage: shenaniboom.deviantart.com/art…

Woow, I really love how it turned out! You did an amazing job! 

Glad you found the tutorial helpful. <3 I hope I have the time to make more bobbleheads of my own again. 

I assume the clay you used was quite heavy, does the head still bobble? haha.

Thank you ^_^

Oh yeah, it bobbles. It's not too heavy overall. The layer of clay I applied over the armature was rather thin. The only thing that I probably could've done differently was cover the spring with something while I sprayed the finish. I think the finish stiffened the spring slightly, making the bobble action stop quicker (but by too much though).
