Sculpting challenge, day 173! N pony continued! Nearly finished!!
Today I continued my pony sculpt! I wanted to do it yesterday, but since I felt so off I felt it was better to leave it be. I actually had started to do something with him, but I seriously felt like I was just going to do something I'd end up regretting.
The one thing I did do was fix one of his feet. Somehow when the body was baking one of his feet actually detached. o_O It was a really clean break and easy to fix, but I wasn't exactly thrilled to find the foot broken!
Today I sculpted on his mane! I think it turned out really well, especially since I hadn't really had a plan as to exactly what I was going to do when I sat down to sculpt. I attached the mane to the head partly by wire anchored in the armature of the head and neck. I actually sort of nailed a thicker piece of wire into the top of his head through the mane armature (which I realise I took no pictures of, oops!). Then I started sculpting!
Once I had that finished, I attached the tail. I had to remove some of the clay from the very top to more easily get it to how it needed to be, but I was really happy with how it turned out! I decided that texturing it wasn't necessary for the look I was going for. If I really need to, I can do something with paint.
Scottie said he was impressed with how successfully I was able to translate what I'd drawn in my sketch to the sculpt. :3
Here he is just before going into the oven!
Almost finished!
He's out of the oven now, cooling! I haven't had a chance yet to check to make sure that nothing went wrong during baking, but it looks ok so far. Then all that will be left will be painting and accessories!
