Work in Progress Roundup + Easterthemed Pics

With birthdays and holidays and the deadline for my taxidermy paper all falling into this week I am surprised I made progress at all. But here it is, the white bunny trophy only needs some varnish, as does the bats face. Then I can start to add the details to the bats body. The bunny got some sculpted fur, since I was not into the smooth look it initially. It was fun to try and sculpt fuzzy fur since I usually only add texture with a needle to the existing form. But it was very time consuming as well.

After sculpting the fur...

... and priming the surface.

The finished rabbit... I decided to add some lace but no ruffles...

The black bats face is rather dark and, like always, it is hard to take nice pictures of it...

And as an extra, since it is Easter Sunday today, here are some themed pics of Snowdrop and Hugo. 

Happy Easter!

Snowdrop and the Black Rabbit

Snowdrop was surprised by how cold his touch was. It was like a breeze, the breeze that carries away the last living leaves of a tree. Snow will fall, wiping away the redness and the pain. The limbs will soon break down into earth and give life to something new. And the air will grow warm again…

I finished these back in January but only recently came around to finish editing the pictures I took of them. I worked on the black rabbit for over three months. There were so many things I have never done before, the hollow body, the ribcage and moveable spine, the mask, the moveable arms... I learned a lot through this one piece and I hope I can keep it up like this. Snowdrops base is the pattern of another doll. I added a pouch where its heart would be and added some red strings to the seam of the pouch so it looked like it was bleeding.
