The Monarch

Oooof, I gotta post more! Here's a sculpt I've been working on this month. It's the "Monarch" from a cartoon called The Venture Bros.

I started off with a ball of tinfoil that I covered with Sculpey, creating a rough mock up to get the general shapes and scale down.

I then shaved off the detail, leaving a rough form, and baked it. I then coated the cured Sculpey with Apoxie Sculpt, sculpting some of the underlying features as the Apoxie cures in 24 hours to a rock hard surface.

I further refined the shapes, adding the beard and smoothing areas.

I then separated the beard (for ease of molding) and began constructing the crown.

Now all that is left is final refinements and smoothing of any rough spots! I hope to get this molded and cast in the next week.
