April WIP brings May.... Robots?

[EliaMurrayArt]

A little progress on Lisa. Just getting the major shapes in.
Sanding, carving, and shaping to continue until I'm happy with how she looks. And then she will get painted. Trying to decide if I want to carve her mouth in, or paint it on... I'm thinking carve.

This is such a fun process to follow. Did you use a different kind of clay for her eyes?

I'm looking forward to more!

[EliaMurrayArt]

Thought it would be a good idea to show her with her head.. ya know.. attached...

[EliaMurrayArt]

@TessaW Hi! Yes, it is a different clay.

I made a whole bunch of little eyes from Magic Sculpt clay a while ago. So I just grabbed them and popped them into her "skull" lol

[Neha Rawat]

OMG attaching the head just took it to a whole new level! Don't forget to go "She's alive! SHE'S ALLLIIIIIIVVVVEEEEE!" (Frankenstein style) when you'e done!

[EliaMurrayArt]

@Neha-Rawat just wait till she gets her hair!!

[Coley]

Oh my goodness! She’s looking awesome! I love her face, the nose is so cute

[EliaMurrayArt]

🥰🥰 progress!

Working on the hands next. Sigh I am feeling doubtful I can finish this by the end of the month. But I will do my very best!!!

[Coley]

Her face is too freaking cute! What kind of clay are you using? Her mouth is amazing, I can believe you did that with clay! I hope you get her finished before month's end!

[LauraA]

I don't have much to add here, but just wanted to say, "Whoaaa!" I love your character designs on paper just as they are, but you're definitely working on a few extra cylinders with this! I am following this...

[EliaMurrayArt]

@Coley thank you! I am quite please with how her mouth is looking. And her ears 🥰🥰 I am using La Premier air dry clay. This is the first time I am trying it out. I chose it because I wouldn't have to use the oven and I could sculpt, dry, carve, sand and layer more clay on pretty easily.

It is definitely waaayyy different than what I am used to (super sculpey) but I think I am actually liking it quite a bit more.

[EliaMurrayArt]

@LauraA thank you!! Sometimes I really feel like it all "clicks" when I work dimensionally. This time is especially that. Like the drawings are all building up to something that would be built.

[Coley]

@EliaMurrayArt I’ll have to try that clay out sometime.

And...her. Ears. Are.the.cutest.things.ever!

[EliaMurrayArt]

@Coley 🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you. I am quite happy with them. She's going to have lots of hair so I figured she needed big ears.

[EliaMurrayArt]

Made her hair this morning! All needle felted over some pipe cleaners.

The hair is not currently attached. I'll paint her first and then glue the hair on. I'm absolutely obsessed with her now and I deeply apologize for spamming the forum with photos of her.

[Coley]

Omg her hair is so fun. I'm sorry for spamming your post LoL. She looks like your drawing of her!

[EliaMurrayArt]

@Coley please continue haha it reassures me you still want to see these and I'm not just being a nuisance haha

[Coley]

@EliaMurrayArt Lol. I need happy stuff in my life right now and really look forward to your updates

[Chip Valecek]

[EliaMurrayArt]
