Description
ETSY STORE II FACEBOOK II INSTAGRAM II TUMBLRWith lack of a better name I simply call him Mr. Foo for now. I think he is a foo-dog-dragon-thingie-hubdidub.
Say hello to the first doll head I ever made. It was in the beginning of my "sculpt career" (about 2 years ago). I had only been sculpting for a year when I wanted to try making art dolls, I had NO idea how they where made or how I was gonna make mine, and then this monster was born, and its HUGE!!! At least to my normal standards - I never sculpt this big nowadays. XD I got tired of him back then and left the head lying around and then poof he was forgotten.
However I dug the dude up again recently when cleaning, and nostalgic as I am I simply couldnt scrap him. He may not be super advanced and flawless, and he is rather rough (compared to the skills Ive gained the past years) but I still decided to give him another chance. And loo and behold, after some painting (turning him into a cucumber
Problem now is that I hate making patterns and making a pattern for this huuuuuge dude feel totally super scary. So I dunno, I wanna finish him... but do I really? XDDD Anyway I though it would be nice to show him to ya~
Completely original and handmade by me in super sculpey, casted in resin for durability and painted with acrylics. Shall gloss his eyes and seal him. Will become a posable art doll in the end (hopefully). XD

I think making it into a doll would be amazing , the head is really nice but I think it would be so cool in a full giant dragon-dog-foo creature

I think it looks like a chinese dragon-lion-thingy and I really like it. The details are wonderful and the colors really suit him.
It would be great to see him finished!

Oooooh how awesome!! I think he looks totally great -though your improvement is definitely noticeable ;D
Hehe, how do you make art dolls? Like? Is the head glued on the plush body or...what? I know like absolutely nothing about this craft, tho I think it's hella cool

Escaron In reply to Heyriel [2016-04-09 19:35:34 +0000 UTC]
Aaaw thank you SO much!!!!!!!!! <3333 And aaak I was really pondering if I was just stupid to give him a go as he really is so old but he has been staring into my eyes now for a while and I went for it. Hopefully with ears, horns, a body and big paws he will look pretty ok even if I do see the flaws in this dude. ^^
It is! It is both glued and sewn on, and theres gonna be a plastic ball joint armature inside so he can be posed, and stuffing so he is soft. (if everything goes as planned that is XD)

Heyriel In reply to Escaron [2016-04-16 19:49:42 +0000 UTC]
Haha, that just makes it all the more clear how much you've improved!! It would've been such a shame to let him collect dust -how is it going?
Ooooh okay, interesting! Can these amatures be brought or do you make it yourself? C:

Until then, I just look forward to the next watch alert that will appear in my notifications.

;__________; You are SO kind! And you know you are always free to ask for a commission price estimate whenever, I mean if you have something in mind and simply are curious what it would cost. ^^

TheRamblingRabbit [2016-04-09 18:35:48 +0000 UTC]
He is rather big! But beautiful, as is all your work. I wish you would have taken before photos so we could see your progress...
And idea, by the way, instead of turning him into a full doll, perhaps just a head mount? But I understand if you don't want him to look like some trophy animal - I don't either! It was just an alternative suggestion. ^_^;

Escaron In reply to TheRamblingRabbit [2016-04-09 18:38:18 +0000 UTC]
He is so friggin huuuuge! Hahahah XD Compared to my others he is a friggin giant. And aaaaaak yes I should have. Maaan I suck at doing that, Im so into what Im doing that I completely forgot to take pics.
Ive actually though of that! But just as you say, I would feel it rather creepy if I mounted him to a wall, those eyes would stare at me in accusation forever. XDDD

TheRamblingRabbit In reply to Escaron [2016-04-09 18:48:34 +0000 UTC]
Gettin' caught up in the moment is what art is all about! So no worries. <3
Maybe... I don't know... Have a paw coming out of the wall too? And aren't Foo Dogs suppose to be guardians? So the eyes wouldn't stare at YOU accusingly, but the evil spirits and never-do-wells in your room! Ta-duh!

SnowTightFrostBite In reply to Escaron [2016-04-09 20:16:29 +0000 UTC]
It looks free though!
Don't worry! If you do use it, though, make sure the armature is super sturdy. Maybe even double the amount of wire you usually use (my peices are pretty much that big and I double everything:3)
It looks wonderful though!
