Spyglass Shae on sculpted base w/extras by James
Well, this was a figure where the finished result was exactly as I had envisioned it.. even before the raw miniature came in the mail :-) It's not very often this happens- normally there are a lot of adjustments that need to be made on the original concept for one reason or another. In any case, I was able to incorporate some of the lessons learned with the Golthias tree and the Gabriella warmaiden. I used the armature techniques as well as a newly developed way to get more clumping foliage to stick to my branches. After reading a recent post about Confrontation figures being sculpted with polymer clay instead of green stuff, I thought I would test a theory. I did this bird of sculpey, and then carved out the small details. Since I am more comfortable with polymer vs green stuff, the process was much quicker.
