Thanks guys!! Exciting things are happening in the sculpting scene...particularly when something you are working on is going in the direction you want. Today I received the body I had ordered for my Link custom. It is so beautiful and spry and so full of life!! I can't wait to see how my Link will be. Even though he is not an ape, this custom is different and exciting to me.

This is the resculpt of Link's face. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be...and I guessed correctly about the dimensions, since I started sculpting without the body in hand.




And, my Cornelius is coming along swell!! I think I am almost done...but first I have to walk away and see how I feel about him tomorrow. His hair has combed out wonderfully--I styled it with a part in the middle, as Sideshow had done...but with my own take. I still can't get the eyes evened out, but where there's a will, I'll find a way.

This is amazing...what you do....great work.

Link sculpt is almost done! He's baking in the oven to cure, and all I need is to make his neck, which I will sculpt up with Apoxie...and then I will make a cast of it and paint that.

[jessica]

Thanks, Sammy. I call myself just a little ape crazy.

The pearls for the eyes is a stroke of genius! Apetastic job!

[supes]

Wow! That is awesome!

[jessica]

I am wondering if I should start my Mego sized Lawgiver from scratch or keep at him...It would probably be better to start over. Not really sure...I feel bad for gouging out his eyes...and yet I can't bake him now if I use Super Sculpey on him because he's made of Apoxie and other air dry clays...Hmmm....

I suppose I could always use a heat gun....

Hmmm....

Here are the beginnings of Link's shield. I don't know where it's headed...I make things up as I go...

First bake:


Second bake layer:


One more layer to go and then I will move onto crafting the sword.

Impressive sculpt, but the shield looks cool too
