Leon under way~ ★

I have started work on Leon!

So this clay is quite interesting~~~ it is easy to work with, but it does take a long time to dry (3days)

(though obviously making smaller parts will dry faster ^-^)

its a strange texture, kinda seems sandy-like. It seems to dry very light, which is a great thing :3

Leons horns being added after his face was finished ~~~

he looks kinda evil barefaced doesn't he? haha.

I tried to make his face as smooth as i could.. the only thing that i didn't like about using this clay was that it didn't quite get as a smooth result as my other clay :(

after i started on his face-up ^-^ I had to re-do his eye brows as I messed them up ~_~

eventually after re-paints and sanding i managed to fix the mistakes i made.

and when he was dry I began on his hair~!

and thats his head all completed!! :3 

im currently working on his body~ i shopped for some fabrics for his clothes already~

I got an aqua transparent fabric for his cloak, velvety brown for his waistcoat & bracers, an English green for his trousers, and a stretchy white fabric for his shirt underneath ^-^

I can't wait to finish Leon~ i hope he is impressive >_<

I accidentally made him taller than crow.. I don't understand how because i measured him up to be the same height as Alexander and Crow is bigger than Alexander. Why do I keep somehow making them bigger.. I really tried to make Leon smaller but I thought he would look slightly odd if  his body was smaller as his head looks bigger with his horns. Not that it matters how tall they became though. As long as they fit into my room, haha!

Will update soon when more progress is done!! ^-^<3 p="">

2014.

Hello everyone! Did you all have a good Christmas? Mine was great! \(^-^)/

My most treasured gifts were these! 

I was on the verge of tears when I opened my copics! ;A; ❤ 

I mean,  to a lot of you this is probably nothing!!!! but I wouldn't be able to afford this for myself, so it means so much >~<

Other presents were mostly consisting of nice kawaii sparkly items! ^-^

I've ordered a few things recently!

Ordered&recieved my Gatsby! (Grey)

I've never tried Gatsby before, so was interested! I accidentally didn't realise I ordered a small tub though. It is so small, looks like for a Barbie LOl.

(On their way:) Venus Eye Aqua Circle Lenses from Pinky Paradise!

I was going to order blue Circle lenses but these looked a bit more interesting!

Other things I ordered:

•New 10mm BJD Light Blue Eyes

(Yes, for my next doll! I sure hope they are light as the photo this time!)

•Paperclay (16oz) 

(Yay! >:3 I finally get to test this stuff out!)

•An Cafe ticket

(Seeing them in London in March!)

Oh and I ordered DAS 150g Air Dry Modelling clay (Me again not realising 150g is probably enough to do my dolls foot LOL) 

So yeah, I decided I'm making an armature for Crow because I don't want to take 6months to get around to completing him. As cannot find right materials for stringing, been busy, just wasn't the time >~< 

(Lol at me just working on my floor while others work in a studio/spare room)

Armatures are funny, aren't they? :'D

(ps: can you see what I mean about the clay packet being small? LOL)

Luckily this was just enough clay to do his basic frame..

I don't really know why I am still using beads for his shoulders. I just thought it'd give them more structure since I had to stuff Capns shoulders soooo much! 

This clay kinda smells like plasticine. It also takes forever to dry. it's been drying for 5hrs and still is mouldable. My other clay (which is the same but branded "Dozen" instead of "DAS" but exact same clay) dries much faster! I'm not sure I it's a good or bad thing but I found it interesting! It's more oily, it seems. My other clay would dry so fast (not solid, but fast) you would have to mould very quickly, I kinda enjoyed the rush LOL.

Anyway, will update with more pics as he advances! I need to get some nice black fabric tomorrow! (^•w•^)

Happy New Year!! Lᵒᵛᵉᵧₒᵤ♡♡(ू•‧̫•ू⑅)❤⃛*✲ﾟ*｡

Kiyo's progress ★

Heyy there! :D

So so far, Kiyo's been given facial features! I tried to make the face more 3d and less flat looking than my last doll..what do you think?

then i smoothed kiyos face out. For Alexander I used one type of sanding paper (not sure what grade because I forgot) anyway, this time I'm using 3 basic types (coarse ,medium and fine) for some reason I find the coarse:medium made it smoother than the fine? There were less scratches..not sure why but it could be the friction I used?

Alexander is hiding until Kiyo is done...

I tried a different painting technique aswell (base coat then layering) made the face less smooth because how the acrylic dries but it's not too bad..

Right, I was impatient last night (being away from working on Kiyo for so long was so frustrating!!) and so I ended up doing the make up, (also applying some hair) -it turned out hideous because of the terrible lighting and I got majorly upset! 。・°°・(＞_＜)・°°・。

(This WASN'T how I wanted it to look.

To me this looks rushed and amateur-like.)

I was upset alll day until I got home from work and I sanded the paint off and re-painted the face.

I am SO pleased with the results, the colours I used were less harsh and brings more attention to the beautiful colours of the eyes and recognises the structure of the face.

I have constructed the body and am waiting for it to dry and be sanded. Kiyo had a little dance ꒰*ゝωꉺ꒱۶♡ *¨*•.¸

I am excited to work in the clothing very much. I promise it will be much detailed *^^*

Goodnight now lovelies before I pass out! ☆

Ranmaru model!

In the process of making a Ranmaru Mori figurine atm, i don't know what he will turn out like as this shall be my first attempt at figurine modelling with this air drying clay (not sure if its really good for figurines, maybe paper clay would be better?)

Anyway I finished painting & smoothing his face :D

I got a new paintbrush as well :3 it's really good for fine detail!

Well I thought I may as well do some hair and part of his structure for his torso as he can dry overnight then I can fix him up when I finish work :D

I am quite pleased with how his face turned out!!! :D
