Description this is the final product for my little project i'd been working on.

i'm extremely proud of this, i don't know how correct the anatomy is on this, but hey its fantasy
i'm basicly happy with how everything on this turned out. the hands were a little rushed the night before my first interview and parts of the hair acutrly broke off before he even got to the interviews .... so his hairs now changed, these photo's were from right after he was baked and cooled.
the head and hair were unfortunately poorly planned and so i had to sculpt them still on the body, i know better for next time now.

hopefully this little guy will have helped me get into a course.

i have complete step by step photographs of this, maybe is if someone interested i can put them together either in an explanatory thingie or just as a photo montage.
if your interested let me know.

13cmx19cmx9cm or 3.5"x5"x7.5"

sculpy (living doll), wire, foil.

character and concept (c) me!
character and images are not to be used or saved.

edit:
he is: 18cm long x 12cm wide x 9.5cm high

he would be around 30cm tall if he were standing.

thanks I will keep it up. Isnt that how it always works though.
You work hard to get into a certain class or anything really and then its just not what you thought or expected.

Amazing!

If you haden't mentioned the dimensions I would still be thinking this was a life size sculpture. When you said the dimensions, that's when I noticed the waterbottles! >.< That's amazing that you were able to get so much detail into such a small figurine!

shelbelly In reply to Foxyninjagal [2009-01-12 03:29:46 +0000 UTC]

thanks
uh no it's being left like that unfortunately XD even though he's one of my characters he hasn't got a colour scheme yet... (yeah i know its been awhile and still no colour scheme!)
and even if i finally did get one for him i doubt i'll paint this as its finished in my eyes even in this state... i'm strange like that
