Sculpting Attempting Mark 2 - Lesser Forest Spirit
 |
| A Druid providing helpful and friendly instruction |
Finished my second attempt at sculpting, this time a lesser forest spirit. Unlike the Fungoid Shrooms, this sculpt has legs! As before I made a metal armature from paperclips. This armature was more involved than the previous ones with upper branches and hands.

| The metal armature |
Again I covered the armature with Milliput to form the bulk of the figure. The pose is a bit stiff but this I think is a feature of the metal armature I made. Which I will attempt to make more animated next time. Ironically it is also a bit thin!
The exposed metal parts, I planned to cover with Green Stuff. I made all of the fingers from metal to give them strength but it may have made them too thick. Overall I quite happy with the Milliput stage but I think I need to spend more time on the Green Stuff stage, as some of the fingers/branches are bit misshapen for my liking.

Excellent sculpting... something I never got the hang of. Love that Goldberry figure... Possibly the best figure in the entire GW LOTR range.
ReplyDeleteI also really like the Goldberry figure which is why I have been putting off painting her. I would really like to have a go at doing the glow from the candle. So this might take more than one attempt!
