            Very cool sculpts... Even what you thought was too big looked good and the robes, etc. would have pulled it all together...

                Fantastic! I can't wait to see how this sculpt turns out.

                      I'm serious when I ask this: Do you plan on giving him a mustache? I know it'd be painted over (like it was whited over on the show) but knowing your high attention to detail...

                        somebody asked me the same question earlier. adding the moustache will be the final bit to the sculpt--like the carrot on a stick to make me finish this project. I need to get photos hopefully of left, right and front view with the same expression, cause right now i'm having a tough time with this guy. it's driving me ape.

                        i confess..i love to sculpt hair--that's my favorite part of doing a sculpt, because it means it's almost done. when i get to that part of it, i know it's the home stretch.

                        I'm putting away the joker for now until I find better pictures. Besides, I get to do another sculpt, which means a lot to my friend, so I need to concentrate on that. I am going to sculpt his dad. Yay.

                        Cesar Romero--his eyelids are difficult to capture, because he could easily look Asian in the sculpt. Have to be most careful. I can't wait to start sculpting on his hair.


                        This is his face right before firing:


                        November 11, the beginnings of hair! Oh double crap~!! His head has grown big. I'm putting him down and walking away. Not sure what I am going to do at this point. I was really happy with where he was going, but if he's bobble-headed it, I can't stomach it. Double crap! oh barf i feel sick....


                        December 28:
                        Poor joker has been shelved indefinitely. But that doesn't mean I won't come back to him someday.

                        This is my latest project:

                        December 30:
                        Still waiting to hear from my boss if I should finish up the head as is. Needs a final baking and smoothing now. Well maybe I an add some more hair while I wait.

                          Cleaning up the sculpt:


                          I've been creating toys for Ethan, encouraging him to sculpt instead of watching tv. He sculpted the orange guy to the left, and I painted it. I think it's easier to sculpt in one color and then come in and color it later with a paint brush. We were just using up the Sculpey Bake and Bend I got. I don't really like it--it sticks to your fingers.


                          After I finish up the devil guy from Star Wars, I'm going to sculpt this:

                            I'm sure you are shooting for 12" but that would be wild in Mego scale.

                            It looks like Ethan has inherited your talent. The kid is already turning out impressive work.

                                Jess, did you see the post I made about the shrinking resin I found from Industrial Polymers? Hydrospan 400 I think ( studios downstairs)

                                A larger prototype would allow you more detail.
                                I got some experiments "drying " now, when they're done, AND i figure out how to work the new Digital Camera i'll send you pictures.
                                They also make an enlarging resin.
                                You can choose the % of the original you want by how many parts water you add.
