More sculpting!

Yesterday I finished glossing the Audino figure I made for my friend as a birthday gift. This is my first time using paint-on-gloss, and I have to admit it isn't as nice as the spray on gloss my friend uses. I guess maybe it's because I'm not painting on enough layers. The texture's a bit funny too, but that might be normal.

While she was in the oven, her feet got burnt. Pretty badly too. It's amazing how super sculpey will burn this badly in seven minutes. Thankfully paint can cover the damages.

Here is the coloured version of Audino. I'm very happy with the way the colours came out. It looks really sweet up close.

As you can see, paint really does save the day. Well, most of it anyway. Audino can't stand on its own due to its shape, so it needs to lean against something. I probably should have made a base for it...

Disclaimer: I do not own Audino, nor did I design it. It is a creation made by Nintendo and Ken Sugimori.

Coloured figures

My friend received the figures on the 24th of December! Just before Christmas too! I forgot to take pictures of them before sending them out because I was trying to ensure they arrived on time for Christmas, actually. It was my gift to him, and I'm glad the postal services managed to get them to him in less than a week!

So here I have the fully coloured version of Mijumaru. I added the little pout since my friend adores the expression. The shell on its belly was a tad difficult to make. It was really thin and I kept accidentally ruining it with my thumbs. I carved the shape using a sewing pin afterwards.

So now I have Hans, the adorable little piggy. I added extra white to the eyes in an attempt to give it that animated adorable, pouty look. Didn't come out exactly as I had hoped but I was satisfied nonetheless. I do hope I can pick up some glossy material some day. It would make the figures shine....and it'd make them prettier.
