=Munny Challenge 2012: = =Dwight K Schrute =

the process has begun at last.

it's hard to see, but his head is completely covered. this is the starting point so that i can sand it, add texture, and build up more layers in the future.





the four new pictures i just uploaded were the result of 2 taylor swift albums and 3 hours of sculpting. it is 4:10 in the morning. my fingers hurt from all the hardcore sculpting. i'm gonna go to sleep now. 6-8-12.

For the hair, I sketched out his hairline with a pencil and filled it in with an application of clay about 1/4 in. thick. From there I played around with it to get a shape that I liked. then I added texture by pinching the clay and making short swirling motions with the back of a pen.

I decided to leaves his ears as they are because they are already a perfect fit for Dwight and trying to alter them would be risky and probably wouldn't come out much better than they already are.

For the suit, I detached his head from his body and covered the body with a very thin application of the clay mixture. Then I mixed the clay in a slightly different ratio so as to make it darker, This allows me so see the outlines of what I'm doing so that I can get a better idea of what the final piece will look like.

The next steps in the process are going to be to finish a piece of his hairline that looks empty at the moment, give him a belt, sculpt some shoes, give him eyebrows, and make and spray-paint his glasses out of some wire that i took from an old notebook. Although, at the moment I'm having an internal debate with myself regarding his eyes; I'm not sure if I should take the risk to sculpt out his eyes or simply paint them on. There is still a bit of work that needs to be done, so I will be sure to continue to post pictures. hopefully I can start painting soon. 6-11-12

Keaney: WOW! This looks great so far! Sculpt the eyes (or at least show an eye 'bump')
