Second try

I was ambitious this weekend...also, Micheal's was having a sale on polymer clays, so I decided to try a full body figurine.

This won't be the final because there are a few things wrong, first off --it doesn't look like Alan, as much as I wanted it to. Also, there are some flaws, like lumps I couldn't fix (due to wire framing being too thick), the eyes are wall-eyed and there is a crack on the back of one leg because I fiddled with it too soon after baking. Anyways, the more I work with and get used to the materials the easier it's getting.

Who knows....maybe once I can master the techniques I can make some money on the side doing commissions. =) The process was about 8 hours.




PS. The hands are positioned like that because one hand is going to be holding a cat and the other will be positioned to hold the hand of another figure.
