Step by Step Framed Harpy Sculpture

I really enjoy working on my Framed Sculptures. I just love the thought of a picture that is 3D hanging on the wall. I wanted to keep this piece very simple, keeping the Harpy the main focal point of the piece by not adding alot of frills to her.

I started with the head, definitely my favorite part to sculpt.

After I get the head and face the way I want, I move on to the body. I usually sculpt the body in sections or layers, baking the piece between each layer. The arms and hands are normally the last part to be added.

Now to make her wings.I went with a gold and brown color.

Secure her in the frame and add her wings and horns. 

Now she ready to have details painted on. 

And she is all done and ready to be featured in my Gallery in the Dragon Con Art Show in September.

Keep checking my blog for updates on what pieces I will be bringing to the show.

The Angel on my Shoulder is a Devil!

Here are my last two Myxies until after Dragon Con…Haven’t come up with a good name for then yet so I’ve just been calling it The Angel and the Faker. One is a devious little pretender. Her fake wings and halo don’t completely hide her red horns and tail so she isn’t fooling her Angel acquaintance.
These two are slightly smaller than my recent Myxies, they are closer to the size of my season two Myxies, reaching only about 3 inches.
So what do you think of the little scene I’ve created?

Thanks for reading!
