Sculpting challenge 129! Also ferret pictures! Which are not poodles. Also tv ramblings. n_n

Tonight I put together the arm armatures for the male figure, and started sculpting the fingers onto the hands. It actually took me a while to get the arms together and with proper finger lengths, partly because my hands were getting tired because the wire I'm using is a bit stiff.

Tomorrow I'll need to finish sculpting the fingers, then I'll bake them. I hope that goes alright! After I bake the fingers I'll sculpt the rest of the hand and start sculpting the arms.

In other news, did anyone else see the story of the people in Argentina buying toy poodles... which are actually ferrets? On steriods with a floofy hairdo? o_O I feel bad for the ferrets, I mean, that can't be good for them. And once the owners realize they're not dogs what do they do with them? o_O Exactly how can you look at a ferret and think "YEAH THAT'S TOTALLY A DOG"? o_O And why exactly do the pet sellers just not just sell poodles? There is so much randomness in this story I wouldn't be surprised if it was an April fools joke or something.

I felt I needed to post some pictures of my ferts. Who look in no way like poodles. My gramma's dog when I was growing up was a very sweet toy poodle named Brandy, and she definitely did not look like a ferret. lol




In tv related ramblings, I watched the Voice tonight! I'm excited to see more of the people who've been picked. There was a girl that I really liked and I remembered today that she's on team Blake. I wish she was on another team though because I was hoping someone else would win this year! I don't have anything against Blake, he's just won the last couple of years in a row and I thought it would be cool if someone else won this year. xD I guess we'll see how stuff goes. :3

Tiiiired, time for bed.

Snuggling ferrets!!

I wonder how those people in the articles have made it this far without giving all their money for magic beans. Those poor ferrets looked nothing like poodles. Their poor little systems must be completely messed up too.

I was excited to get them snuggling in the tower, it looked so cute hehe. :3

I know right? I read the story and was like "Ya'know, I have a bridge I can sell those people..." I was just so flabbergasted that someone could look at a ferret and actually think it was a dog. o_O I feel bad for the ferrets too, ferrets have enough health problems as it is without being put on steriods (though I know non-US ferrets tend to be healthier, so hopefully they're a bit better off).

Seriously, at best they look like exotic, rare wild rodents. Aren't steroids supposed to increase aggression? I imagine that would make for nippy, unfriendly ferrets. And the poor creatures are probably confused about what's happened to them. I hope the seller is up on animal cruelty charges.

Steriods are supposed to increase aggression, so on top of not being dogs, those ferrets are going to be a lot less friendly than your regular ferret! I hope they get caught and are brought up on animal cruelty charges too.
