I've finally decided to get off my lazy ass and SUBMIT THIIiiIIS gaargh. Deciding which photo to put exactly on dA wasn't easy since I took like ~50 of them; BUUUT you can check a few more over here --> [link][link]
So this was made for ! *u* exactly on the 20th of June it was part of my huge package I sent her a little before her birthday and she got it 2 days after it! *u* The package also contained this picture --> [link] , and this plush --> [link] and this sculpture took about 15 hours to make if I'm not mistaken and I didn't take any breaks at all while making it xD I sat down in the evening and went all the way up till early morning with Radio music blasting my ears off it was quite amazing making it! >w<
The minus of this sculpture however is that it's extremely fragile *^* the clay I used was a normal children's colorful clay which can never be solid-ified using ovens or what not, in fact while this sculpture was getting to Shirmp's place, the horn got deformed *A*;;; Where i live we don't have any clay that can be burnt to become hard, not to mention our oven is kind of half broken anyway xD so it does not burn as good as any non-broken one, so woohoo; ~ It's shiny like that though because I covered it all with some normal nail lacquer after it was done ;;; It's a little dirty tho all by itself.. since the clay I used is like years old *^* because this clay no longer sells in Latvia;;; so pretty much I used any materials that first got to my hands to make this gosh
I kind of regret making the markings from paper though, but well it was too late to change that once I already covered it with lacquer xD; which was when I realized it was a bad idea ~
Also since Shrimp loves cliffs, Skye is sitting on a Cliff ~ Kingdom Hearts? Paopu fruit on the back, and Thalassa Shell on the front ~ D'Island project? The rock with some curvy grass on the side ~
and Skye has a stick going through him and the cliff on the inside for extra stability ~ /shot
Also the wings have plastic-like paper in them, making them more stable as well. I originally hoped they could be flexible that way, but sadly even though they ARE indeed flexible, if you bend them, the clay and lacquer crack ;n; so I already told Shrimp she better not do that xD; coz I won't be around there to fix it up with my spare clay and lacquer, which I had to use via fixing 3 times while it was still at my place already ~
What else... well I think that's all I wanted to say Enjoy!!!!! and ye Bet Shrimpos loved this *u*
also first time picking such a category ;;;; and yeaah, that there is the keyboard you guys always see my typos and other shizz coming from 8D;;;; I love my keyboard <3
oh dear god, i remember getting a gift package while i was in Sjenica a few summers ago and i got a pack of plasticine. i absolutely hated it but my lil bro liked it so go figure lol.
i guess it was just the feel of it and the fact it never dried. it drives me nuts when i get undrying clay cuz it can be so easily destroyed, just like that. grr
anyways, i can't believe i never saw this till like fuckin' NOW. (head-desk) gah, i'm not one for sculpting. my birds look like frogs and my rocks look like booboo. but you did wonderful lol
