For this past Easter Redeemer Church La Mirada allowed artists to participate in creating pieces based on the Stations of the Cross. Here is a detail from mine.The Ember Dragon
My latest creation is a dragon! I have loved dragons for a very long time, so this guy was very fun to do. I started with a sketch.
Then, I formed the initial wire base.
Filled it out with foil.
Put on the initial layer of super sculpi.
I decided that I wanted wings after all, so I put wire/foil on for the wing frame, and then put on the sculpi. The thin, skin layer of the wings is strait up super sculpi, but in retrospect, I wish I had rolled it out a little more evenly, but what’s done is done.
Then, I sculpted to my desired effect and baked him!

I then painted him with a metallic red paint, and went over with charcoal to give a burnt look.

Sven
I’ve been working on Sven for a while now, and he’s finally ready to show off.
It started with a sketch, some wire, screws, and a platform.
Of course, my cat has to be right in the middle of things.
I filled him out with foil, and I then put Super Sculpi on him, sculpted him, baked him, painted him, and then sewed clothes right on to him.
Eventually, I gave him his phone.
I will try to show more of my process for the next one. Thanks for viewing!
