Fully finished bust of @kalivasquezart's Artificer design, with mask, drone, and everything. Just in time for the end of May.
The bust itself isn't my proudest work, but all assembled, I rather like how it looks. Fun to put all of the pieces together, and it's been a while since I made anything with one of those removeable masks.
The base sculpture is made purely out of earthenware, and the mask and drone are made mostly out of epoxy putty, with incidentals like wire, bamboo, and metal beads. Painted with acrylics.
Had to include a reference to her two pups in there somewhere, of course. Strung pearls felt appropriate.
Here's full post about the mask itself. And here she is without it:
This one was a good challenge. I wasn't sure about my job with the face at first when I sculpted it, but I got to like it more when doing the painting. Looks better this way. Helps that the all-white eyes stand out so much. (That's what we call good design right there.)
I probably would have done a full upper-body sculpt of this one if I'd had the time, down to the waist, maybe. I did this one sometime in March, though, I think, so my life was mostly School at that point. Ah well; this is good too.
Stay tuned, though, as I'm not stopping anytime soon! More like this is sure to come. I still have almost a month before any serious obligations begin, so there's no telling what will happen in that time. (Aside from that sculpture of Goumang from Nine Sols which I'm going to be doing up like this. That's a given.)
