From start to finish, here is Rynn commissioned by @/Krysiilys on Twitter! This is one of my Custom Chibi Sculptures done in polymer clay. The holes you see in her noggin are for the wires that would be put there to support her spiny crest.
Here she is with a little material on her, just to solidify the pose and direction of the final shapes. My sculptures are baked multiple times as I go.
Here I've added some muscle mass, the spines, the wires that would later become the horns, and her toes! Look at those cool raptor claws on her back feet!
I tapered the spines and horns using Cosclay so the tips would not be too fragile. I'm still learning the capabilities of the material, and here is where I found out that Cosclay does not sag under gravity like Sculpey or Fimo does! The spines of her tail and that lovely blade at the tail's end where made entirely from it, which is useful against accidental tipping and falling over.
Ears!! Also entirely made from Cosclay, they were shaped and indented before putting them on, and then later fortified and touched up with a little more clay.
I started the painting process before posting the final sculpt edit, but here you can see the details on her horns, also done up in Cosclay! Plated layers on horns are already a very delicate procedure and this took several hours despite it being so tiny a detail!
And here she is, Rynn! It was so awesome to be able to work on this character as I've looked up to Krys for a very long time as an artistic inspiration. Rynn's shapes and details were also really fun to play with! Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed! uwu/
Commissions for these are closed right now as I have a long waitlist and I hope to make some inventory for myself and sell at conventions in town. If you'd like to empower me to not have to take commissions and be able to do this, I have a Ko-fi and reward my Tier members with first access to Shop items, free stickers, and one-time art gifts as that's what my FT job and art workload currently allows. Please consider joining if you'd like to see me make things like fan-art sculptures!
