Not something you'd call "progress."
Well, being the person I am, and from what I know of the creative types consistent with their nature, I've temporarily set aside my work and taken up something else because as most of you know, I've always wanted my own action figures.
So I typed, "Make your own..." into google and found a site promoting such things as sculpting your own.
And I said, "WHAT?" More specifically I asked...anyway.
SO I went and bought said materials and set about making Karen; one of the main characters in my book.
Well, I got the body and such down...mostly...but the face...troublesome.
As you'll notice from the very very first attempt ever.
Notice her arms are too wide apart. Whatever. Also when it baked, the edges of her arms cracked. Eh.
The face I'll get eventually. For a first attempt I'll take it!
Second time around I went smaller scale.
Naive as I am, I thought the face would be EASIER to sort out. It took at least 5 tries and by the end I was like "good enough!"
After I baked it I pulled it out and accidentally snapped her feet off. Oops.
Then I left it on the coffee table and Patti came back from the 'Sconse and busted off her hand. Oh no big deal. Thanks for that....*shakes fist*
So with busted legs, broken hand and off looking face, I decided on a rush job for the coloring and just used some markers.
Here's no. 2.
Annnnd, that's all I got.
It ain't much, but these are essentially rough drafts.
Oh and its better than YOUR action figure.
