Jerry! Jerry!

The first work I will be posting about in this Blog is a sculpture I made today. This sculpture is of a Neopet called 'Red Pteri' and is the mascot of thedailyneopets.com, called Jerry. Someone there requested me to make jerry, so I did that :)

Jerry!

I started out with Tomato Red clay (Sculpey III) and formed two equal sized balls for the head and the body. Then made the tail and the wings. I added Ivory (Sculpey III) on the wings as well as the shape around the eye. What you cannot see if that I also covered his tummy with Ivory. I gave him a beak of Yellow (Sculpey III), as well as some feet. They were made by sticking two parts together as one.

I baked him right now, so that I could work on the clothes without being scared to mush up the clay. I merged some Purple (Sculpey III) with a tiny bit of Blue (Sculpey III) to get his coat. I made it existing of 3 parts... The arms were two equal sized strings that I flattened and then pulled around the wings so that they look like sleeves. The main body was a bigger flattened piece which I just put around the whole body (took off the wings after baking it).

For the hat I used Black, Tomato Red (Sculpey III) and White (Fimo Soft). I just made a ring of black clay, added a cone of black clay as well. Then made a string of Tomato Red and added that around the spot where the two pieces of black clay came together. I made the horns of white clay.

The dots and the moon which you can find on the clothing are Glow in the Dark clay (Premo).

Enjoy :)
