Hello all!
First time posting in this corner of the site and I'm starting this thread a little ways into the build, but I had to be sure I was actually going to get to finish it before I wrote about it!
Special thanks @joez2391 for corresponding with me over his previous attempt at modelling Figment a few years back.
Here is my WIP sculpt of Figment from Disney's Journey Into Imagination attraction at Epcot in WDW. Mostly based from post-Dreamfinder reference material. The aim is to eventually wind up with a resin statue.
His torso is a polystyrene foam egg carved into shape and coated with Plasteline clay. Mostly medium grade. The neck, arms and head are sculpted on a super simple armature wire skeleton, soft grade Plasteline acting as a nice flexible base to prevent cracks while I nail his posture down, details in medium grade, tougher parts like horns in harder grade clay.
Still early days but I'm pretty pleased with it so far! It's great feeling him come to life. Feedback more than welcome, although I will sound like a total novice in response having had no previous experience in creature sculpting and I'm pretty much making it up as I go along!
