The Swan Queen

I've finally finished the Swan Queen. This is photographed in roughly the same lighting she'll have in the final illustration. Her paint scheme will be fairly complicated so I can't wait to do that! First, however, I need to scupt the background people. I want to paint everyone at the same time.

Scuptwerks Car



I've finally gotten up the courage to put vinyl logos on my car. I've always been one for very tasteful car decoration, the kind of stuff you don't notice till you're really looking at the car. But you can't do that with logos. The whole point is to stick out. I've attached two pin stripings on the front fenders and a larger 5 inch logo on the back left side window.

The first mold experiment.

I've just finished making my first mold! I bought a 1 lb. silicone rubber mold kit and a bucket of 'super strong' plaster of paris. I've made a bout 6 Gummie medallions so far.

Chicken Knight

Sculpting on the Chicken Knight is complete! He's made out of coathanger wire, aluminum foil, thin wire, Sculpey and Apoxy sculpt. I'm very pleased with how he came out! Next is the Swan Queen. I've got the wire maquette half finished and as soon as I get more aluminum foil, I can start putting clay on.

Castle Walls

I've finished the castle walls and tapestries that will decorate them. Of course, the stained glass still needs to be installed, but that will come later. I've started sculpting the chicken knight too. My apologies for not posting in a while, but with two jobs and an Arizona vacation trip, it's been hard to do anything else. If you'd like a sense of scale, these walls are roughly 2ft. x 2ft. The chicken knight is being sculpted at about six inches tall.

The Swan Throne

I finished sculpting the Swan Queen's throne. I've also got the corinthian style column for the virgin bird and the window frame for the rooster stained glass window.

Illustration update.

I've been working Petsmart and the Scenic shop these last few weeks, so I've gotten very little done on the illustration. I sculpted the corinthian style column for the virgin bird, and finished the swan queen's throne. But I think I'm going to wait till after the 2nd of January to really come back to this and work full throttle again.

Happy holidays Everyone!!!
