Raffa's (sculpting) Work in Progress
by Raffa
Hey everyone,
the last days have been really mad with a lot of putty to push around.
I am currently working on 2 busts (with a third little sketch I work on from time to time) that I both want to finish until Wednesday.
First, you may remember the grown up goat. It transformed into a Ram and is constantly growing.
I am really happy with it so far!
I am working on the armor parts right now, but there are still some other areas left to finish... buuuut, the end is near :)
I prepared a little "step by step" about sculpting the horns:
First step is bending wire to the shape of the horn, putting some putty on the horns, and start working on the general shape.
I work on the "edges" of the horns to make them more interesting.
Now I just put some random small sausages of putty on the horn.
Smoothed them with a brush soaked in turpentine.
Scratched some more marks into the horns with a round tip needle tool.
And smooth them again and bake.... tada, done! :)
I also worked on the cosmonaut bust, his protective suit is almost done, some more detailling work and the suit is finished. Not much missing here eiter! Yay!
I also started sculpting a mouth, I know it sounds strange but maybe there will be a bust build around it someday :)
Until that day it looks like some creepy version of PacMan.
I also got some casts of my latest figures, but you will know more about them soon!
Lychee Priest
Breathing Difficulty Man (new superhero!) ;-)
Next week will be busy again, so stay tuned!
Have a great Sunday,
Raffa

Dammmm Raffa, those look really really nice. I'm trying to get to your sculpting level but I am a long long way off. Anyways keep up the good work and look forward to seeing some more stuff.
Wow very nice!
What raw material are you using? Super Sculpey, Fimo? Do you have a special oven near your working area? Looking for some alternatives because I dont want to fire up my kitchen oven just for little Fimo bits everytime... ;)
Breathing difficulty man looks like Arrow :)
All great stuff as usual. Love the suit on the cosmonaut - what did you build it from?
Cheers,
CMDante
These look great! Looking forward to seeing the results of the "new superhero".
ooo, new busts... and I'm not even finished with those I already have from you.
must pick up the pace.
Oh mein Gott... da bekomm ich große Augen wenn ich die neuen Büsten sehe!
Absolut geniale Arbeit
Looking great! I would love to paint the Lychee Priest, Cosmonaut and the goat beast.
