hmm the leg thing is just an optcal illusion, i measured her up and all proportions are in place. Its the traps that make torso look taller than it really is, I hope that when i attach the head it will be better…

more update…

Man, is there anything you can't do? Looking absolutely awesome so far.

Don't be surprised if the head is the hardest part, though,  just because the features are so small.

Please tell me you're going to make a mold of this so you can make multiple copies. I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in wanting to buy a cast of this if it was available.

Ah, thanks for checking the proportions Tigersan.  Maybe the photos have more foreshortening than the renders, and I will be eager to be proven wrong when the final photos are out!

Heh, you mentioned making measurements and calculating proportions… tantalizing for us numbers-oriented people.

Anyway, I love what you did with her back and upper arms.  They're so immensely bulging it makes me light-headed.  Great start on the neck too.  I'd like more of a horseshoe shape for her triceps instead of the two-lobed thing, but it's a minor quibble, really.  I'm sure you know what to do much better than I can tell you.  Keep up the great work!

I recently bought some software that you would probably really dig..  Esp. because it would mean you'd only have to sculpt one side of her. 🙂  It's called ZBrush.  It's very cool.  3D modeling and then painting displacements.

Hello Tigersan

I like the figur you modelled very much.

Now I would like to know, how far the progress is of the sculpture?

I have read, that you use Super Sculpey (not a bad name for forming a goddess 😉 ) for modelling. Now I have some questions.
How much Super Sculpey did you need for the sculpture? How much cost the Super Sculpey? And where did you buy it?

Keep up the good work.

Good work Tigersan! I'd like to do something like that but it's really an hard work.
In military or fantasy figures, modellers use Milliput for the most large parts and Green Stuff for small details. I have all the tolls and all what i need, but it looks to be an hard work when it's the first time …

Well it depends how big isyour sculpt going to be. This one is about 16 inches tall and I used over 4 pounds of clay so far. Those pictures reflect current progress, i havent done anything further yet. I took a break just to look at what i done so far, to find flaws and think of the way of fixing them. My main flaw seems to be short legs, so im thinking about raising the hips alittle bit.

You can buy it at art stores, i did… 😉

Sorry to come at the tail end of things, Tigersan.  You've done very well in reproducing the muscular aspects and details of Shredia.  I eagerly await to see what's next!  Thanks!!

What type of "SuperSculpey" are you using? Did you have to mix it with any other type of polymer clay? I ask because traditional SuperSculpey has that translucent bubblegum look that you seem to have avoided.

Lengthening the legs shouldn't be too hard. You could cut your armature at the knees and add in an extension of armature wire to each knee, using a blob of Epoxy Putty to attach it at each end. Even when the putty is dry you will still be able to wiggle the wire in and out. For this reason, a lot of sculptors do this with many of the joints from the outset, as it lets you disassemble the sculpture at any point during the sculpt. This is useful for sculpting limbs on their own if it is a difficult pose or molding and casting the finished sculpt…hint.

Can't wait to see some more progress shots when you get back to it.

Sorry about bumping an old topic, but, I was wondering (as most people here are) how its coming along.

Now, my reason is a little different.  I started making, started about 5 hours before this post and stopped for the day about an hour ago, an figure.  Its about 12in high (kinda to scale with yours).  I have used not quite a pound of SuperSculpey, I am using the "firm" kinda, (like trying to model a rock).

I have a question about yours, did you attach it to the board its on or is it just suck on by the clay stickiness?

PS: You can get any type of supersculpey at Dick Blick, if you can't find it in a store.
