Froud Critter Workshop 2010 Day 1

Well this is how far I got which was the goal for the day



Head sculpted and baked.

You can’t see it in the picture but he is grinning and his teeth are showing slightly. I figure after I get it all painted, you’ll be able to see that detail better.

It’s funny how, now that I have done this a couple of time, that I am held to a high standard than someone who is taking the course for the first time. Wendy knows what I have done in the past and pushed me to be better this time around.

We had the usual silly moments that make this workshop memorable. There are discussions that I can honestly say I haven’t heard discussed anywhere else. Toby is there helping Wendy and we decided that he could say anything in his suave accent and make it sound sexy and a good idea. We then put the theory to the test and were proven right. And yes it does make me feel a little old that the baby from Labyrinth is now in his mid-20s.

Today is hands, feet, body and painting. Tomorrow is about painting and costume or lack there of. And then it will be done. Mwaahaaahaaahaaaaa!

I am grateful I am taking this course.

Oooooooh, awesome!!
I can't wait to see the finished product!

And pardon me if I missed a bunch of stuff (have been awful at the Flist the past couple of weeks) but...this is Wendy...as in Froud?

That is so cool looking!!! How long did it take to sculpt altogether?

It looks like something out of Avatar the Last Airbender, which is a sincere compliment, a species so natural looking that I'd expect it to be real!

That is very nice. And thank you for making me feel old as well :).

Can't wait to see your finished piece. Looks like he'll be awesome.

And the baby from Labyrinth is in his 20s? But he was in Labyrinth! The magick should have frozen him in time!
