So things are moving ahead slowly but surely! I wanted to get so much sculpting done this weekend but unfortunetly I didn't feel well so I didn't get as far as I wanted. On Sunday I rolled eyes like I'd done with the animals since I didn't have the beads to make the eye molds I needed. I rolled them in white clay and put them on wires so they could be on the painting stand I made.
Here is my eye mold, the stand, and all the eyes on stalks. I noticed that I accidently grabbed my translucent clay instead of white though! Eep! They look rather neat actually, but that's not what I'd been going for. I have painted them white and they are currently drying on the rack. I need to actually paint the eyes of course. Not sure how this is going to look in the end since I normally paint them after the sculpt is totally done.
Then since I was waiting on the eyes to dry, I decided it would make the most sense to just start on the body armatures. Since I don't usually do groups it took me longer than I expected! I keep saying that foil armatures are like foil origami.
Here's a picture of the armatures in stages. They use a lot of foil!
And here are all of the armatures together, and the eyes with a thin coat of paint drying on them. They still need some more shaping but they are mostly finished!
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to continue my sculpts! I'm probably going to finish the eyes and start the body sculpts. I don't think they eyes will be done in time to do more face sculpting tomorrow.
