Onto the clay bust project!

Our instructions were to make something with a head and shoulders basically as long as it wasnt too simple (like a Lego person or regular squidward *handsome is allowed tho*)

My sketch is supposed to be a like, alien/vampire type guy (I named him Organ). I was inspired by the snake hair Medusa has, multiple eyes because I thought they would look cool, and the subconscious thought of JJK season 3 having came out! I'm sure you can definitely tell with that last one lol!

With the techniques we learned from the coil pot, we began by putting some thick coils on an "armature" and pressing them tightly to reduce the risk of air gaps. Then we put built the clay up into a head and shoulders, and built up more clay on top of that for the features.

After it reached a certain dryness level we had to pry the clay off the armature by cutting it in half... I had to cut behind his jaw and right through his ears 😭

After that, we had to "score and slip" and press and smooth the two halves back together the best we could. Thankfully mine is seamless, even his ears! Then we had to hollow our pieces out to get rid of air pockets that would explode our work when it gets fired in the Kiln.

I then proceeded to give him his hair, made of more coils that I flattened with a paddle. I also finally carved his eye squiggles so he could see *you* (yes you!) properly :)

Today I finished cleaning up his lines and smoothed the little clay beads that appreared as best I could, sealed any cracks with slip, and put him on the shelf uncovered to dry out!

When that's all done, I have to glaze him IF HE SURVIVES HIS FIRST FIRING!!! (I'll also be glazing my coil pot at the same time) I very much hope he does, I'm going to be sad if I can't keep him...

Thank you for reading! 👽

My commission of Ultra Boy bust by Jon Hartman

This is done in colored polymer clay. Sculpey Premo, to be precise. They're all baked and fully cured. Jon's process is similar to plasticine "claymation,"

I've started painting a Bob Ross bust sculpture I've been working on. Excited to show it off, when it's done!

I'm also currently making Steve from Bigtop Burger (which I highly recommend watching)

Ok so I dont think I ever actually showed this bust I did for my sculpture class, but I'm super proud of him!! This was the first time I've ever worked with clay, much less trying to actually sculpt a person, but I think he turned out really good!

This took me most of the semester to finish haha. But this guy is my own little Frankenstein's monster. He not based of off any one existing person, but is rather an amalgamation of different features I picked of of lots of different people lol

When you start modelling a little bust and six months later you remeber about it :')
