Clay Sculpture Self Portrait

Finally! Here is the last of a long line of terra cotta clay projects! For this bust of "Your's Truly" I decided to make a goofy smirk and stylize the hair a little. I really enjoyed this project, and working with clay in general, but I'll be glad to get back to the old stylus pen again. I've learned alot working with 3D forms in general, and hope to carry this knowledge over to my digital painting, and perhaps 3D modeling in the computer as well!




























Clay Armadillo

Probably one of the coolest animals on this planet. Modeled this guy after a stuffed one from the college museum. Originally I intended to sculpt a turtle, but this guy had such an intricate shell design I just couldn't pass it up. Plus, ever since I was four years old I've always had this desire to go to Australia.
