I usually wouldn't bother to even build an armature.<br /><br />I had just read 20,000 Leagues under the sea so I decided to do an interpretation of Nemo.<br /><br />I've always wanted to pursue sculpture especially after my exposure studying at LAAFA, drawing from sculpts in museums, and seeing some bad-ass toy sculptures at some cons. <br /><br />I told myself I was going to document the process but ended up only snapping a couple photos when I was at this stage.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.callicuttart.com/x/Nemo-Wip Sculpt.jpg"> <img src="http://www.callicuttart.com/x/Nemo-Wip Sculpt.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><br />At about this point I quickly learned the difference between regular white sculpey and peach super sculpey.. Trying to smooth out tool marks in the super soft regular sculpey was an exercise in frustration. I ended up destroying what you see in the above picture and just using the regular sculpey to bulk areas out and came on top of it with super sculpey.<br /><br />The further along I got I began to realize the importance of also building a very sturdy armature. The one I made was decent but it allowed a slight wobble, which increased the challenge of trying to cleanly model smaller details.<br /><br />some research lead me to discover rubbing alcohol and turp are good ways to smooth out sculpey. They melt the top layer and soften marks. The process of smoothing was aggravated somewhat by the wobbliness. <br /><br />All in this small project has only increased my appetite to pursue sculpture further. <br /><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculptheadturn.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculptheadturn.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculptTurn%20Aroundfront.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculptTurn%20Aroundfront.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculptbackturnaround.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculptbackturnaround.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><br />I mocked up some colors in photoshop<br /><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculpt%20paint%20mockup.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/sculpt%20paint%20mockup.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><br />And here are the designs I played with before settling.<br /><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/nemo1.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/nemo1.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/nemo2.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/nemo2.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/nemo3.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/nemo3.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><br />As always, any type of feedback is welcomed, especially on experiments like this.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569255102327653666-2802374905919345573?l=kennycallicutt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kenny Callicutthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15779185583846448930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569255102327653666.post-28963631986224586042011-02-04T14:04:00.000-08:002011-05-23T18:59:24.216-07:00<a href="http://www.callicuttart.com/portfolio/goldenapplessun3.jpg"> <img src="http://www.callicuttart.com/portfolio/goldenapplessun3.jpg" height="300"/> </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569255102327653666-2896363198622458604?l=kennycallicutt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kenny Callicutthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15779185583846448930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569255102327653666.post-50320205674446640342010-12-17T18:32:00.001-08:002010-12-17T18:37:00.130-08:00<a href="http://callicuttart.com/x/Happy-Holidays-2010"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/x/Happy-Holidays-2010" height="300"/> </a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />and heres another that hasnt made its way onto the blog yet.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/x/horse4"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/x/horse4" height="300"/> </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569255102327653666-5032020567444664034?l=kennycallicutt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kenny Callicutthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15779185583846448930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569255102327653666.post-29878423570085890682010-03-15T22:16:00.000-07:002010-03-15T22:18:39.818-07:00<a href="http://www.callicuttart.com/x/hubbletimeriverfinal2"> <img src="http://www.callicuttart.com/x/hubbletimeriverfinal2" width="400"/> </a><br /><br />this is the experiment I did to warm up for the above painting<br /><a href="http://www.callicuttart.com/90mindaily/13.jpg"> <img src="http://www.callicuttart.com/90mindaily/13.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><br />and China Hacked google<br /><a href="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/Chinagooglehackfinal2-revisions%20web.jpg"> <img src="http://callicuttart.com/portfolio/Chinagooglehackfinal2-revisions%20web.jpg" height="300"/> </a><br /><br />Couple of Comic pages to share later on.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569255102327653666-2987842357008589068?l=kennycallicutt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kenny Callicutthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15779185583846448930noreply@blogger.com4
