It’s been more than a year since the last sculpture…
Inspiration seems to be back so I got my clay out of the box and started making what will be a beautiful elf, at least I hope so.
The armature is in alluminium wire and she’s about 35cm tall, the maximum size I can fit in the oven. She had some flowers in her hair but they were burnt in the oven, it was 0.5cm too close to the top of my oven roof. I’m still struggling to make some nice wrinkles and folds in clothing so I decided to play it safe and give her some leather and strong fabric.
I bought some ’super sculpey firm’ (the gray bits) to experience the feel and I find it easier to work with for detail and texture. It was fun to make her look a bit precious and I can’t wait to paint her now she’s been baked. She will be holding a lantern in her right hand and I have to find her something to look at on the top of her left hand. Maybe an elephant…or not.





I’ve been very busy lately and I unfortunately haven’t have time to do any work butI will slowly come back with mroe creations.
The blog is not dead!!
Time to make a new sculpture. I’ve just baked my black pin-up, added her eyes and made light shadows around her eyes and face and added a layer of varnish.
Here is the final piece.



and after some magic…

After watching a very interresting documentary about hyper realistic artists like Ron Mueck, I wanted to try to make something realistic enough.
after making the basic shape of the hand, I’ve added wrinkles and the veins with a mix of light blue fimo and super sculey.
once the hand was finished, I’ve made a little blue pixy to add a bit more enery and life in the sculpture.





The little blue pixy skin is a mix of super sculpey and blue fimo. the eyes are black fimo with a drop of varnish to give them life.




I’m back with a new sculpture of a faun I made something like 3 weeks ago.
After watching Pan’s Labyrinth from Guillermo del Toro I wanted to make my own character a bit more human-like. This sculpture is a pure product of my imagination because of a lack of internet and I couldn’t get any references exept the human anatomy picture I have.
Here is the final result:




It’s been a while since my last post.
I’ve tried a new sculpting exercice making a muscle-bound hero character. This is my second male sculpture after the rastaman.
I’ve started by making the basic shape of the skeleton and then using an anatomy reference book, I’ve placed the main muscles of the body.


When I had the muscles almost right, I’ve used a very thin layer of sculpey and I’ve overlayed this skin over the whole body.
I’ve added details like veins, wrinkles on the neck, harms and face.
This character looks like a devil or it could be a sort of faun with normal feet. I didn’t want to make a bad character so I won’t keep the eyes totally white.






This is the final result before the baking process.
This is the final sculpture after a bit of painting. I’ve used some watercolor to enhence the shadow on her face and some glossy black for the dress and boots. I’ll upload some more photos soon with the sun as a source of light.


here is a new sculpture of a gothic woman playing violin. her muscles are less apprarent compared to prevous sculpture. the proportion of her body look a bit better but i still have to exercise and work harder to make the muscles and shapes right.
now the body and main cloths are almost finished, I have to work on the details, hair, hands and the violin.





Here we go, this is how she looks like after been baked. I’ve added some gold painting and I’m currently working on the bow.
