A Funny Thing Happened On My Way Down The Strip...

Getting a *little* off-subject, I met a really nice gentleman while in Las Vegas... really PATIENT as well... "You match my necklace...!!"

New Sehlat Head

I didn't like the look of the sehlat head, so I started over. I removed the ears, fangs and eyes, and used them on the new head. I like the facial expression on this one better. The white thing coming out from the back of the head is a flexible plastic doll armature, to make the head and neck posable. I'm also using a length of it for the tail. The armature pops apart so that you can adjust the length. Each piece has a ball at one end and a socket at the other, and is about 1 inch in length. Armatures are made by The Springfield Collection, http://www.springfielddolls.com/ I bought mine from Dan's Crafts and Things on Empire Boulevard, Exit 8 off 590.

Looking a-head to May

These are a couple of projects I'm working on that I have to complete by Memorial Day weekend. On the left is the assembled Al Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) mask that has yet to be primed and painted, and above is the head for a sehlat (Star Trek--Spock's childhood pet) stuffed animal. I usually start with the face for drawings and sculptures because I want to get the personality of the subject down first. The sehlat still has a little stunned look to him, but a few stitches here and there toned that down a bit. Al's upper face looks a bit like a bat!
