Handmade Vaporeon Figure...
I finally found somewhere to get the clay at a more reasonable price. It was at a random art store I sometimes walk past but I never even noticed it there before. ^^' The materials still cost me $58.95 though, so I'm kind of hoping for this to turn out well. I got started yesterday, and as of now the head has been shaped (it took two hours for some reason - it just didn't look right to me from all angles). I predict the frilly Vaporeon mane is going to take a long time to add though...
