FINISHED: Faerie Infant (5-6")

Here she is fast asleep in her nest. I'm still thinking of a name for her and I have to take better photos before listing her. Here's a few quick pics though.

WIP: Faerie Infant (5-6")

I don't have an exact measurement on her yet, but if her feet were extended she'd be around 5-6" long. I started working on her yesterday, but didn't have enough hours in the day to finish her up so I'll probably finish sculpted and painting her today and then work on a cradle base for her.

I was so inspired by all the May babies on ebay, so decided I'd try my hand at a May baby and a larger baby. So far I like her, she's got a content resting expression and she's definitely a chubbers but I do love a "healthy" baby! I'm debating on what kind of base she'll be in. Tree nook or blooming may flower...or maybe a mix of the two!!! We shall see.

Sorry about the ugly pics, I took them with her laying on an old oven mitt....mistake!

WIP: Mermaid Child and Critter Friend(UPDATE..friend pics)

Here are the newest photos of Rosalyn and her little friend. He's a weddell seal pup named William. He has one layer of genesis, but I'll likely add another layer of beige to even out the first layer and add texture. So that's how far I've gotten this morning. I only have a few "sculpting time" hours today, as I need to go to the spa and salon today to get ready for my buddy's wedding tomorrow. Here's the pics anyway (dark cloudy day, so dark cloudy pics...sorry).

WIP: Mermaid Child (UPDATE..first pics)

Another mermaid. This one is a child (around five years old in appearance) with a critter friend.

Only two pics to start, but it'll give you an idea of what's in my head. She'll be sitting where she is on the branch (which is far from finished) and her little critter friend will be at the other end. She also has collected a name.....Rosalyn. It seemed to fit her features, plus she'll have a rose colored tail and fins. I believe she'll have strawberry blonde hair, maybe with rose colored highlights. Not certain on that yet! I'm thinking a weddell seal pup would be a great friend for her, they're fur is kinda of a pinkish beige when their pups.

I'm going to try finishing this up by Sunday, but my best friend's wedding is on Friday and hopefully my hubby and I will be celebrating our anniversary this weekend. So we'll see how much time I have to sculpt between today and tomorrow! Wish me luck.

WIP: Mermaid Child

Another mermaid is in the works. She'll be 6"-7" from tip of tail to the top of her head. Her name will be Rosalyn, meaning little rose! While her skintone will not be blue, she'll have a very icy skintone non the less. She'll be in a sitting pose atop a branch and she'll also be with a little friend, likely a sealion or seal. We'll have to see where this goes! Wish me luck.

I'd like to set my "finish by" date on Sunday, but my buddy is getting married on Friday and my hubby and I will hopefully be celebrating our anniversary this weekend so we'll have to wait and see. I may get her finished before I leave, but I don't want to rush.

"finish by" date: TBD
Pics coming up shortly.

Merbabies: Baby Blue Fin, Silverfish, and Bass Baby

I've just finished up the third of my "merbabies". I love these little beauties! Silverfish was the first and she came out a little larger then I wanted, but still a cutie. Her tail is aqua blue and silver.

Baby Blue Fin was the second and he's the size I'd like to keep these little cuties at. His tail is light blue and super sparkley.

Finally there was Bass Baby who's my Mother's Day gift for my Bass Crazed momma! Bass Baby's tail and fins are painted to resemble a large mouth bass' colors and markings. The bass is a pen holder too!

Mermaid at the River's Edge (Finished)

Her she is all finished. She's gone through a few color changes, but the outcome is nice. She's a Cold River Mermaid (or Pandorian Mermaid for those avatar fans). Her final length is 10 inches! She'll be on ebay shortly (search zaos).

WIP: Mermaid at the River's Edge (Head and Base)

She's coming together nicely. She's finished her second series of firing which was for her head. I've also finished (probably) her base as well. Still a lot of tail and fin work to finish and her arms and hands too (boo). Hope you enjoy her so far. My goal is to finish her by Friday, if not sooner. Here's the pictures so far.

WIP: Mermaid at the River's Edge

I know, I know. It's such a rarity to see me actually sticking to the same project rather then working on five or six mini projects at the same time. So here's the latest pics of our mermaid. She's, as promised, donned with a muted blue skin tone. The pics are done on a glummy day, so the flash made her look much shinier then she is. I've decided to give a very strong silvery gray tail and a long flexible torso. She's still undecided if she'll actually be an avatar inspired mermaid, but either way she'd certainly fit into the movie. I've decided she'll also be a more sharkish mermaid rather then the typical wet and wild beauty. She'll still be posed in a very tender pose and have a lovely face (as lovely as I'm capable of), but she'll have gills covering her rib cage and a fierce presence. It'll be like a watching the most fierce creature of nature embracing a tender moment. I hope anyway!

So here's the pics for today. A covered armature, very rough sculpting.
