Faye Sculpting WIP Part 10

Been lacking updates recently. What have I been doing lately? Well, still working on my figurine, only at a slower pace. At the sanding and finishing stage now, which is pretty boring. Been watching a few animes too, like Strike Witches, Bleach and To Love Ru.

Anyway, let's see some pictures of my WIP. One of the things that I've been working on are Faye's pair of boots. Sculpted them and here's how they look:

After some retouching and sanding, I primed them together with all other parts. I'll only be showing the boots for now because other parts still need more sanding:

Apart from this, I have also tried a bit of casting a few days ago. Just testing the rubber silicone and resin that I bought a few months ago. This is the original in the mold after it cured:

And a comparison between the resin piece (left) with the original clay piece (right). The mold and resin are pretty good at holding the details, I must say:

But upon closer inspection, I found that I have trapped some air bubbles in the resin without realising it. Will need to fill those air bubble holes and sand them later:

That's all for today's update.

Faye Sculpting WIP Part 9

Been lacking update on my blog lately. But I'm still working on my sculpture. Only recently I've took less photos. Kinda forgot to take them when I'm working on the figurine. So here are a few more photos I took. This part is about some carvings that I've done.

First, I was doing the crease on the dress. This part is on the area near the chest. This is the initial stage without any crease on it yet. I used pencil to roughly mark the shape and location of the crease:

Then some carving. Not very natural yet:

Did some more clean up and sanding on it. Looks better now. Might do some more sanding later. But I'll leave it as it is now:

And here's how it look like with the face and head on:

All right, now let's start on the right hand. The original hand that I had was fragile and broken by me. So I decided to make another one, this time using putty. Here's the initial shape. Nothing like a hand at this stage:

Carve, carve and carve. And we have some fingers now:

Added more putty, and further carving. And here comes the hand:

This part has been really fun. What does everyone think of the hand? Personally, I like it very much.
