A gallery-going goblin

Here's my finished sculpture piece. He's a goblin in an art gallery. I made him with clay, fired, then painted details, and covered him in fur.

A Gallery Goblin

For the art show this month, I'm making a "Gallery-going Goblin":

After he's fired, I'm going to paint details and add some fur. I'll be furring him using this technique with white, orange, and green faux fur:

And a couple different lengths of fur for accents.

Getting a head in the art world

The first assignment in my sculpture class was to create a realistic life-size bust of yourself. Since I'm normally a happy person, I wanted to make myself smiling with my mouth open.

It didn't work so well.

So I closed my mouth and went with another approach.

I'm much happier with this one, even though it still doesn't look exactly like me. I edited it a little after this, so the final product will look different. Pictures coming soon!
