Bishamonten Sculpture

So for my Sculpture class, we are suppose to make a Public art, to display for the public to see, and i chose to do Bishamonten; the guardian of Fortune and War Lord. Why i chose to do Bishamonten is b/c at our school we have something called the P.U.B, the Pagoda Union Building.
Bishamonten has a role to protect the treasures that are kept safe in the pagoda, so as the protector and the bringer of fortune, i wanted to create him and display him in the P.U.B of our school.

so anyhow, here is the steps i took in making this hunk.

Wire frame: very important! make a wire frame before sculpting, it can really help you keep the sculpture from crashing.


Aluminum Wrap up : Depending on what Clay you use, you can wrap up the wire frame with Aluminum or not, with the clay i used, it really helped to wrap it, because it sticks on very well.


Aluminum Wrap up Finish.


Adding Clay : The clay should stick on fairly easily with the aluminum cover.


After 12 hours of work, 90% done.

Mushamaru SD gundam

Today i went to my Garage and dug up my Gundam models. I left my HG scale gundams in the garage, cuz they are like garbage.. XD, all i was able to bring out was my 3 SD Mushamaru Gundam Series.

So i was interested in how the differences are between the Inked version of the gundams VS the uninked version... so here are the comparison pictures that i took.

The first two are shots of the gundam before it was inked (lol if you notice, the right arm has already been ink, i totally forgot about this before and after thing until i finished it..XD)

BEFORE

AFTER





the cool thing was, i used my Copic marker to do the Black and red coloring for some of the parts. I also used the Sakura Pigment pens to do the lines, it turned out pretty sweet, :D

NEXT UP IS prolly the other SD gundams i have, that is... until i get myself a MG Blue frame or Gold Frame Amatsu.
