So this is a bit of a sadistic project for me, but it definitely makes me laugh every time I think about it! I've never done a crossover project, and I thought it'd be fun to freeze something small in carbonite, something small and cute. I'm also trying to do a lot more organic sculpture lately, so this is a great way to practice that.
I started off by mocking up the pose in Adobe Illustrator using existing photos of various products and screen grabs. I could have picked any pose, really, but I thought it would be nice to mimic Han's pose in the block. I printed this out to scale and taped it to the piece of sintra I'd be sculpting on so I could transfer the sketch to the sculpting surface.
Then, because I'm running low on materials, I blocked out the forms in insulation foam to fill space. I would then start adding Apoxie Sculpt onto it. Since I'm using Apoxie Sculpt, it's cure time allows me to really only sculpt so much before I have to stop. But because of Groot's layered body panels, it makes sense to approach it in phases anyways. As of this post, I'm done with this phase and I'm letting it set up overnight.
