I'm Mr. Heat Miser, I'm Mister Sun...
Barry introduced me to these vinyl figures about 2 years ago and since then, we have produced a series from the Wizard of Oz characters, an Oompa Loompa from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and a multitude of various commission work pieces at the request of others.
Here are the progress pix that Barry took for me...
I didn't have a whole lot of reference to go by other than a pic that I googled and watching the movie. I was surprisingly pleased with how it turned out. For the face, I used super sculpey. In doing his outfit, it was pretty straight forward, however, what I found most challenging was the hair. I bought fake fur at a Hobby Lobby here in Atlanta. This is where the fun began..I had to painstakingly cut the fur off of the backing and hand apply it to the head...gluing a small section at a time. I have never done this before so, I was a little intimidated. I started to get the hang of it half- way through the head. For the facial details, it was a combination of pastel chalk and airbrush. Now I can't wait to start on a Cold Miser!
