Dracul Maquette (finished sculpt and details!)

I got his eye patch made (string will be cut to length at the end), his clothes on, and his hair finally done!  Hurray!  Wanted to go ahead and take pictures in case if the unfortunate unforeseen happens when I bake, spray, or paint him.  And don't worry, I'm not going to bake him with the eyepatch (which is made of vinyl and string) on.  I've already caught a tea bag on fire today; I've had enough with fire.

Dracul Maquette! (Halfway there)

...On sculpting.

I'm getting there, and so far am happy with his progress.  I finished smoothing everything out, now to finish adding his clothes, and give him hair.





*Another lesson I learned while making this maquette (this time the hard way).  When you pack up your craft pasta machine, take the handle off before taking it up from the table.  If it falls, the metal part can hit you square on the ankle bone and give you a painful goose-egg on it.

Dracul Maquette! (Progress on the face)

Finally, I spent the past few days when I worked on him mainly working on making his face.  It was a pain, but I'm happy with how it is turning out.  Hopefully everyone else finds him as creepy as I do.




All that is left on his face is his hair, and I'm going to try to make his eye patch out of some vinyl and string that I have.

Also, something important I learned, if you're making a maquette and the character has a big nose, make the mouth, then the nose.  It was difficult to work around his nose.
