browncoat2x2 | Play with 'Clay'

I bought this modelling paste from Curry's the other day, it's basically like a clay but made with some sort of vegetable matter from what it says, and it air hardens, so no need for a kiln.

Last night I pulled it out and started playing around with it, getting a feel for how it can be worked, and then got the idea to make a little sculpture of Gir from Invader ZiM.

Here's how he looks so far:

A close up, lit by my camera's flash.

Without the flash.

And a little manipulated icon, just for fun :o)

Once he's fully dry I will paint him up! Overall, I'm really quite pleased with my results. Now, if what I want to do for one of my art meme projects turns out this good, I'll be very happy!

ETA: Oh, and here's a copy of the picture I based the sculpture on:

His head's a little exaggerated in this picture, plus it would be asking a bit much to support something *that* big on that little scuplture's neck, so I kept it more in scale with the body - closer to how he is in my icon up there :oD
