Painted and sealed. I am so amazingly proud of these gums and paint tones. This is the first time I’ve sculpted gums with this level of detail that also had to avoid hiding teeth unnecessarily or hitting the upper jaw. Now to install all the hardware.
-
Completed all the base modifications for Miwak. Eyes were drilled with bases re-sculpted, eye vents enlarged, jowls heat formed, nose vents drilled, jawset installed with gums sculpted, and all hardware attachments drilled in. Time to do some painting!
-
A few hours later and I have a forehead section ready for mask attachment. The pet mesh prevents the fur sagging into the crest rig. The rolled edge creates a more natural looking finish whilst helping to hide the gap between the crest and hood. Also sewed the eyebrows into place along the unrolled edges…

This paint job looks much better than previous, more alive. These are the completed antlers for the jackalope project.
-
Started work on the antlers using a dry brushing technique. I’m not really happy with how it’s going but I’ll see what I think when I look at it again in daylight
-
I am really proud of this paint job. I tried really hard to get realistic skin tones and make the teeth look real with tartar/plaque. I’m also so happy that the tongue (@tursowork) cut down nicely to fit.
-
Gore end cap for the snow leopard tail. This was my first time doing satin stitch and I’m really pleased at how smooth I got most of it.
-
Got all the rosettes into the tail and have cut ‘n’ clipped the rosettes for the other tail half. There’s still some smaller solid spots to sew in after the rosettes, and I think I’ll have to do some fur trimming to really highlight the dark outlines. But looking good so far!
-
Sat down over the weekend to sew some rosettes. They weren’t as obnoxious as I feared they would be, plus they’ve come out great!
-
I decided to make something silly. I’m in for a stack of hand sewing on this project!
