Work in Progress Roundup

This week was filled with me trying to make a pattern for the unicorns body. I never learned how to do this and I am often having a hard time. It is much easier to think about something and sculpt it than sew it. But I will learn to do this perfectly over time. I learn with every mistake.

Work in Progress Roundup

This weeks roundup is rather sparse. There were some health issues and I did not get as much done as I wanted, but I finished this little lady bat (she already made an appearance on this blog) and started working on something a bit out of my comfort zone. It's going to be a unicorn but since I have a beautiful ornate fabric for its body I sculpted this filigree into its head and... it is different and I am not sure I know what I'm doing... or even like it... my last deer doll was kind of botched and I am a bit scared working on them now, but I have to get over myself. I love deer and I love drawing them. Time to learn doing deer dolls....

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!

Work in Progress Roundup

This week was slow in terms of progress, but I had a day off for sculpting and the needed preparations. I sculpted the black bats face, which looks a little sadder than Hugos. It will probably look completely different once it is painted, which is what I like a lot about adding color. You can completely change the mood.

I am currently trying something a bit different from my full scale dolls, small mostly sculpted trophies with fabric ears. This little one will be an albino rabbit, in time for easter.

The last project has to wait until I have some time, because I really want it to turn out right. You can guess what it will be from the armature...

I am currently busy with lots of things, most of them not art related. But I am trying to brush up on my Gouache skills. And I am on the verge of finishing another bat doll. The first one, called Hugo, is a bit smaller. I can't wait to be done with sewing the black fur, it is a really hard material to work with.
