Melvin...the Shroug!

The Shroug is complete along with his habitat!  He is now called Melvin and is on his way to his new caretaker!  Good luck...Shrougs tend to be laid back, but Melvin is a touch moody! 

Shroug has it's Paint Job finished

Here's a few photos of the Shroug while it's sealer is sealing.  He'll have a habitat in construction once he is sealed.

Shroug WIP

I've finished sculpting this Shroug.  

It is indeed My Creepy Valentines time!

I know that just looks like a picture of a box, a block, and three pieces of wood and if you are thinking that, you are right!  These are the platforms for my 2014 My Creepy Valentine collection!  Yes, friends it's My Creepy Valentine time!

Stay tuned...

Dragon Hybrid Baby Sculpt! We have a head!!!

Here you have it, Ragner the dragon-human hybrid baby.  He's very gargoyley, yes I just made that a word! Finished he'll be about 18" long, and by the looks of it he may be coming to the vinyl kit world!!!!

Two Reborns are finished!

Here they are.  Leah and Libby kits reborn into Irelyn and Gunther!

Panthers and Dragons, Oh my!

So I think I've got a lovely idea that I wanted to share.  I believe I'll be adding two other babies to my sculpt list.  A tiny Were-Panther newborn.  And a little Dragon Hybrid newborn.  Both will have sculpted heads and limbs, and doe suede bodies.  The were-panther will be around 17-18" in length when finished and the dragon hybrid will be around 19-20".  The were-panther will be exactly that a were-panther, a child born with both human and panther traits.  The dragon hybrid will be similar in vision to the were-panther but with the child being a combination of dragon and human traits.  They will be highly unique.

Christmas Creepies are on the way!

With only a few more days for Christmas shopping and shipping, I'm going to be making a few (2 or 3) Christmas Creepies to put on ebay on Sunday and one to give a friend for Christmas. Thinking maybe a little boy skully in elf/santa pjs, a little girl skully is her Christmas finest, and maybe a skully Christmas bear hanging ornaments on a tree. But we'll see what actually comes about.

Pics will be coming along soon enough and then of course the links to their auctions as well.

New Baby...my first attempt at reborning

So while I most certainly prefer sculpting over simply painting a doll, reborning seems to be a extremely challenging technique that I wanted to give a little venture into.  Now in my sculpted doll nursery (littlemoonnursery.com) I have used vinyl limbs rather then sculpting them with my larger head sculpts, but I've never done a complete kit including rooting the hair.  So this should be interesting as heck.

I did not choose a high quality or expensive vinyl kit to attempt my first reborn baby.  The kit I ordered has minor flaws that I am sure I can work around.  The kit is by Sandra White and it's called Leah.

So yup. That's what I'll be jumping into in a week or so.

Werewolf Newborn

As promised here's a few pics of the newest member of the zoux-art family Werewolf Newborn.  It's A Boy!  He's in the post blush and sculpt stage, currently firing in my oven.  I love the smell of curing clay in the late afternoon.  lol.  I think he is a true cutie.   

Wow, how time passes!

Well it has been a really really long time since I've logged in, sold any sculpts, or even touched clay. Well today I did manage to get a few sculpts on ebay. Some from quite some time ago. 2 sea snail dragons, an alien baby, monkey baby, baby boy, a zombie panda, and my 2 teeny tiny mouse fae. I do have a new sculpt in the making right now though. Taking my time on him. Progress and pics coming soon enough.

IADR February Contest Entry

Alrighty everyone. I'm actually already most of the way through sculpting the torso, not bad for me and my procrastinating ways! So the theme for IADR's February Contest is "Art Of The Soul". So I've decided to do the most evident emotion for me....all of them! My piece will be called "Freedom in Madness" and will feature a fierce female lycae (werewolf) during her first freeing of her beast! I think the piece may be a bit frightening, but as I see it she's being freed of her torn emotions and allowing her rage to become bliss!

I'll post pictures as it comes together or at least once I have a head sculpted.

Dragon Pup (the hatchling)

Alrighty pics as promised, and I'll try for better pics in the AM!

Dragon Hatchling...almost ready for pics!!!

The dragon hatchling is now completely sculpted and I'm pretty certain this is the last layer of paint this little cutie is getting. After the wings and paint are cured and the baby has had a little freezer time (adding strength), I'll grab a few pics to share.

As I said it's a dragon hatchling, also called a dragon pup. It's not anatomically correct, so he or she is up to you! The pup's color is mainly red and black, but there's some blushing that's purple/blue/brown. The eyes are still sealed shut and the scales are premature, a lot like a freshly hatched baby bird. The wings are small and a little transparent.

I really really like this little one and I'm having trouble with the idea of parting ways with it! This dragon hatchling is so adorable!

Dragon Hatchling in the works....

So I've busy working on my Little Moon Nursery website and making babies for the nursery! But today I decided I wanted to do a dragon hatchling for Valentine's Day! So the hatchling will be seriously fresh from the egg. Her eyes not yet open and her scales still premature giving a baby bird sort of effect! Because I want her to be for Valentine's Day I've decided her colors will be red and black.

I just finished sculpted and adding her first layer of paint, and she's firing now. I'll be taking a break for coffee and a snack, then I'll work on giving her a cute little curled up body..wings and all! Check back for pics of her.

Finally have a nursery website up and running for the babies....

Little Moon Nursery. That's the name of the new nursery and website to showcase the ooak babies I've been so steadily working on recently. I'll be adding a link to the right soon, but here's the website for anyone interested.

Seraphine is finished!!!

Here are a few photos of Seraphine all finished up. She's about 10" tall on her base and just breathe-taking. Her hair is handset red, brown, white, and blonde viscose fibers twisted into dreads with fabric stiffener. She has tiny pearls throughout her hair. She's playing with floatastic kelp! Her tail is painted a shimmering golden orange and her side fins are posable.

Mermaid In Progress...updates...

Here are a few updated photos of Seraphine and her finished base.

Mermaid In Progress...pics and a name

The name I've given this fiery goldfish mermaid is Seraphine, meaning buring fire. She's coming along nicely. She'll need arms, hands, and a neck sculpted and painted then she'll be ready for hair and accessories. Here are are few pics of her progress.
