New Sculpt, by the way

Oh yeah. I started a new sculpt of Alex, because the last one has teetered to the point of no return. I had originally intended on finishing it, but I think I'll just move towards this one instead.

I just wanted to show you some of the progress I've made. Camera is a Casio EXILIM. I don't know why the pictures have INCREDIBLE depth of field, considering it's a point and shoot, and I didnt' know it was capable of that.


I wanted to make her look like she was ready to run. In the background is the proportions... and a swiffer duster.

Building up her chest and shoulders.


Her hips, and what looks to be really short legs, but they're not.

I had to do some crazy wire wrapping to keep her shoulders from doing the unintentional flamenco when I wasn't holding them up. Also this has insane depth of field for a point and shoot camera. I'm kind of impressed.


I Realized that one of her shoulders was way lower than it should have been. So I fixed it, with good ol' stinky plumber's epoxy. My room has this awful rotten eggs smell to it now.


I attached some hands, her legs might be a bit too short. But she's not 100% secured yet. I can still save it.

This was my rather inelegant solution to her unicorn hairstyle.

Endeavours once ventured long ago, now ventured again

Not only did I watch Office Space today - which I haven't seen since March, I've also been very busy sculpting. Like very busy. I'm trying to get it done before Julia leaves Cuppa Coffee so it can be fired in their kiln, as opposed to me firing it in my residential oven that will result in cancer casserole a la mode later.

So it's supposed to be done soon -- but it doesn't look like it as I just ran out of sculpey. So here it is.

It's Alex:

Except her hairs down, and she has only half her hair, a gimp hand, and her trench coat isn't done yet. But I was thinking her hair came out pretty rockin'. But i really placed her belt too low - and her crotch so I have to move those up. But that'll be done when the Sheridan bookstore opens on Monday and I can go and get more sculpey.
