I finished my siamese cat sculpt today. OMG! That means I have sculpted all of the animals that I set out to do for this part of the challenge! Now I need to decide if I want to paint them all next or if I want to start the human sculpts. It might make more sense to go to paint. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. :3
But for the last bit of sculpting! I attached the prebaked front legs, sculpted the shoulders and shoulder blades, attached the tail, and then textured the whole cat. After that I baked it. Unfortunately the tips of her ears got a little burned, which basically just means they are a bit discoloured. Which doesn't seem too bad since it's a siamese and I'm going to be painting the ear tips dark anyway. hehe What happened was I accidentally didn't reset the temperature alarm after venting some heat out of the stove when it got too hot (because of the way stoves heat up, they don't maintain temp, they go up higher than they need to and shut off until they get to a lower temp, and then start again). So when I looked back after a few minutes I realized the temp had gotten too high. All and all not too bad though! It's still hot so I can't really take full pictures of it until tomorrow, especially since the clay isn't fully set until after it's cooled so I don't want to mess with it.

This is the cat before I textured it. I think I was too excited and forgot to take a picture of it textured before baking. lol

This is the cat as it is now. It's too hot to move so the cotton batting is in the way, but you can see that it's done! I'll post pictures of it without the batting tomorrow when it's cooled and set. :3
In unrelated news, I was listening to The Voice tonight while I was sculpting and two of my favourite people were cut tonight. So disappointed! xP
