Gothica (3)

Hi all,

thank you for the feedback and suggestions.

Since my last post I was thinking a lot about adding a shield.

I don't know why, but somehow I have the feeling she needs a shield.

So here's the first try.

That was too big!

So I made it smaller and positioned it lower.

Putting this aside for a moment I finished her right arm by sculpting an armored glove.

Based on feedback from Facebook I decided to make the shield smaller once more.

Ah!
That's a lot better now, and I think it balances the figure nicely.

I used Milliput to sculpt a leathery and worn finish.

In position.

I think the original sculpt of the shoulder (red) pretty much suggests the position of the arm and thus the position of the shield, does it not?

So here she is :)

 

Finally I added rivets to the shield and completed the brooch for the coat.

 

Gothica, the Vampire Warrior Princess :)

I'd like to call her (sculpting) complete. But I'll let her sit a few days before I decide.

In the meantime all the paints and stuff are already packed, so I won't be able to do anything else anyway ;)

The move is still scheduled for the 16th of December.

Cheers

Klaus
