Sculpting challenge: Day 64! Mouse complete, bunny started, and my new kitty pics!
So I guess I have a lot to post tonight! lol
First off, I finished painting the mouse! It looks really nice now that it's all painted and I'm very happy with it! I'm glad I started the painting part of the project next instead of figure sculpting. It's nice to see the sculpts completely finished! For the painting, first I did a dry brush over the whole sculpt to bring out the fur detail. Then I washed over darker parts of the fur pattern with thinned darker brown paint, then worked on detailing, and put a light pink wash in the ears. I also painted the previously blue ground with browns and greens to make it look like ground.
Mouse with dry white wash.
Mouse finished!
And the other side!
After I finished painting the mouse I started on my bunny sculpt! I was still getting used to the oven I was using and I accidentally overcooked him a little, so the sculpey was really dark. This was also still before I started using black clay for the eyeballs. So I was pretty happy to start painting him! I've put a couple colour washes of reddish brown over the body and I painted his eyes black.
Here he is before painting. Sculpey gets dark if you overcook it, but it's otherwise ok.
First colour wash! I think he looks much nicer now, and he no longer has zombie eyes! He looks less evil now. lol
And as promised, the pictures of my new kitty Talar'raa! I didn't get a whole lot of good shots, but you get the idea. :3
