05/07/97- Biology class, with a whip? Actually, the armature, the blueprint and the priestess. Racquel's a lot more lenient about armature design-- she doesn't give a hoot about triple wrapped wire. Of course, she's never made an armature for a 12" sculpture before. In fact, she doesn't even have one! Maybe that's why she's consigned to semi-permanent "Works In Progress" status?Dan Platt suggested 3 twists of 1/8" armature wire-- damn! I think a single piece of it is hefty enuf. I usually regret this, but I insist on learning from my own mistakes. |
Here's the lewd picture that I'm trying to approximate... Since Verotik is being so slow in finishing part two of the second Jaguar God vs. X'Alpen saga, I decided to play around with pencil, pen & brush (I'm deliberately hiding the REALLY horrible hand-- I don't claim to be a artist!). Besides, I liked the first artist's rendition (Mitch Byrd?) better, and if I were in charge of their production, I'd have brought him back. So I just placed his version in a new setting & pose.

Tin foil covered, following the Rick Barrows' Jimbob-friendly method, then covered with clay and roughly shaped. Still some more rough work needed to capture the general look & feel-- she ain't hefty enough, though she's certainly got enough cellulite. Unbelievably, her boobs are...too small! I've gotta admit-- this certainly is a heckuva lot faster that my old method. There's some savings in clay too-- every little bit helps. |
Gaaaad! This is one lewd looking sculpture! And it's just starting to get refined! Bad choice of words: not refined as in "classy" but refined as in crude oil to tar. And to think I had intended to do something artistic, something sensitive with the 2 lbs of freshly squeezed clay. Yee Haw! This momma could whip Racquel's butt, even without a whip!Hmmmm-- Her arms are mighty scrawny... maybe just a clump of clay here...there... more pasta, too.

05/10/97- After doing her toes and her hair, I finally baked her. So far, no cracks... She still needs jewelry and other decorations. I had to give her a loincloth, just so she'd be presentable (and save me the agony of deciding how to detail the forbidden zone).In the meantime I roughed out a couple of minions just to see what might look interesting for a base-- One's a horny dude and the other's a Frazetta-ish apeman. I think I like the apeman better. Their addition makes the scale intentionally ambiguous... |
The horns, loincloth & jewelry hopefully will be enough to avoid licensing problems should she become a for-sale item. I mean, can you copyright boobs? Instead of X'Alpen, she becomes "Demon Monkey Goddess" or "Big-Assed Horny Monkey Woman".
