Original Sculpt - Aslan project

My first original sculpt, did not go as planned. I had every intention on taking my time, making the best I could out of him, but I didn't.

He managed to get pushed down to the floor during his sculpting process so I put him on hold for awhile and I worked more hours at my job than I thought I would so I had to rush him a lot to get him finished in time for the show, I even had to finish his paintjob the day before the show.

I am not extremely happy with the sculpt but I am a bit more happy with the paint work as I think I managed to get a decent fjord dun on him (the picture doesn't do the colour justice, he looks a bit better IRL).

The Original Aslan

So because of all this I have now started what I call the Aslan project and look at this sculpture as a practice in working with the materials and tools I used. 

The Aslan project will be a series of similar fjord sculpts that I will make to see my sculpting improve and it will continue until I have a fjord sculpture I am happy with. So in the next couple of weeks I plan on making the armature for Aslan 2.0.

Another project

I was a bit too fast posting pictures of my projects yesterday. Because a few hours after posting I started another project.

Or technically, I restarted my project. I started my first attempt at a sculpture several months ago. I made an armature (which in hind sight was quite terrible) bulked it up with some aluminum foil, put on some sculpey clay and baked it in the oven. Unfortunately (or fortunately maybe?) I was too quick when I read the instructions and turned up my oven to the temperature the package stated. A few minutes later I realized my mistake and my sculpture had pretty much turned into a black lump with wires sticking out of it. When I turned the degrees up on my oven I read the Fahrenheit temperature and since we use Celsius it went WAY to hot for the clay. No harm was done except to the sculpture, which was deemed not salvageable.

So yesterday a started a new armature. I need some more supplies before I can continue on with the sculpture but I am so much happier with this armature than the last one so hopefully I'll actually be able to do some sculpting in the next couple of days.

I won't give any details to what breed, gender and alike it will be just yet as I'm not sure I will actually get there 😊
