Polynesian Dancer Progress

Back at work on the Polynesian dancer.  She's about 24 inches tall.  

Her posture isn't where I want it to be but I'll address that once I her skirt is fleshed out.  

I plan sculpting her hair and skirt very loosely to convey motion.  

More images shortly.

Basset II

woof.

Going to the foundry this Friday.

Bronze Nani

Nani, now bronze, fresh from the foundry and heavy as hell.

About 1/4 scale. 

Woof.

Nani 2: The Barkening

A quick study of my bulldog.  

I'm getting a bit faster and I think this loose style works 

-considering the subject is a sloppy mess.  

The body and legs need a bit more work.  

Dogs aren't supposed to have hooves. 

About 1/5 scale.  

More Lil...

State 5

 State 6

Hopefully I'll be finished this weekend.  

Hair isn't very fun.. 

Lilit: State 4

Yesterday I accidentally smashed her face. 

I spent last night redoing what I had already done.  

Fun stuff. 

 I figure a couple more hours and she'll be as done as she's ever going to be.

MUST. TAME. HAIR.

Lilit

Still have a ways to go. 

Hopefully I'll post the final version this weekend. 

 Nice FedEx box in the background... 

CLASSY.

More Mia

I figure she'll be driving by the time I finish this...

Starting on the hair...

Working on the hair and softening the chubby areas...

...hopefully I'll have the hair done this week.

It Begins...

So, I started sculpting. I figure I might as well document my progress. Currently I'm finishing a trilogy of dogs. They just got back from the foundry but here's how they looked when they were lumps of clay...

Kelly

Nani

I'll post images of the girls in their bronze form in a bit. Questions comments and critiques are welcome.
