Limited Edition Water Dragon Works in Progress Part 1
In my Pet Shop Of the Old Ones soft sculpture line I have a Water Dragon named Siku.
I've
been thinking that making hybrid soft and hard sculpt figures in
limited editions could lower the cost of some of my pieces. I'm hoping
that this will make them more appealing to more customers.
I haven't done much clay sculpture in the past few years so this piece has been a challenge. The head, wings and torso will be cast in resin and hand painte
d.
I plan on inserting an armature in the bottom of the torso and using
batting and fabric embellished with beads to create the tail.
I'm looking forward to combining paint, fabric and beads to create these new pieces.
I'm working with an oil based clay called Chevant. It's used in the special effects industry, car and industrial design. It comes in several hardnesses and holds textures and details beautifully. It also smells and feels unpleasant if you love real clay or wax like I do. But I'm getting used to it... I think it might grow on me eventually.
I'm thinking of doing these animals in small editions of 12 to 25 at the most. I was also thinking it might be a fun kit sort of project too.
