This was something of a first, a sculpture that I not only started this month but (wait for it…. wait……) actually finished AND painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started with this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

@dr_monkeyface<\/a> you should make a model of @Mikimus_Prime<\/a> ‘s sketch of a Jawa showing it’s arse…you’d love it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, why not? Everyone love Jawa arse and Mikimus Prime<\/a> seemed to enjoy drawing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK so it’s only about three inches high but it was fun working on something that small. I found some nice reference material and tried a few texture techniques rather than the smooth finish I tend to end up with. I do need to practice hands more but was pointed to a hand tutorial<\/a> by Aaron Schmidt \u200fon his own website which had some good tips, I need more practice though. I also tried something new with the baking process. I’ve been reading up on different ways of setting super sculpey as it has a habit of cracking if you’re not careful. I’ve been reading about boiling it but didn’t dare to try anything that radical but what I did do was bake on a low temp for a longer time. What came out was far more even and seemed harder than normal. One to try again next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was working on this at the same time as Freyja and it helped to be able to switch between the two when I was getting fed up with one or the other. I’m going to do it again with another small ‘sketch’ sculpture as it keeps me motivated and helps with practicing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
