Chewbacca!

with one comment

So, as much as I’ve been enjoying the new job lately, I have missed getting my hands into some sculpting.  So, a little while back, I sat down to play with some Super Sculpey.  Typically, skulls are my go to practice piece.  But there is this guy who works at my company, that really loves Chewbacca. I also got that song stuck in my head, the one by Supernova that goes “Chewbacca, what a wookie!.”  I never get to sculpt hair.  Skulls don’t have hair.  But this time, I got to break out the Zylenol, and play with hair.

He started off all crazy looking.

But I just kept adding to him.

And baking when I liked something and adding a little more.  I even managed to work in little highlights using the way the Sculpey darkens with more time in the oven to a color advantage.

And yeah, I had fun with this one.  And the guy at work really liked it.

Hmmm, what to make next…
