Clay Bat (2021)

Art, character, Sculptures

In January 2021 my sister wanted to build some cute stuff with clay. Since I’ve always been and will always be in dark edgy witch stuff I obviously had to decide between a skull, a snake or a bat. Since I wanted to do something fluffy the bat was just my way to go.

So that’s what I did!

First, I roughly started to sketch him out. Afterwards I ran to garden & trapped some wire- then to the kitchen and took the tinfoil.

That’s how the base of the little bat, the skeleton was made.

Afterwards my sister and I got to the basement and started to form our little figures (she made a really cute turtle)

We just left them to dry a bit- and since we sadly do not own a clay oven they both were meant to just die and crumble into little dry clay pieces.

So no, this bat was never burned and painted (even though we probably still could have done something to make both figures last longer) but I still had a lot of fun with this little project.

Oni Mask/ sketch (2021)

Art, Masks, masks, Sculptures

Besides painting, I also love to sculpt masks.

After I finished my Rabbit mask (click here to see the project), some friends of mine wanted me to make plaster masks for them too.

One of them, Duc, wanted me to do a dark blue/grayish Oni mask for him. These are the sketches. The mask actually exists- but it isn’t finished and I haven’t worked on it in a looooong while. Maybe I can take a picture of it one day.

You can see the process of me taking a plaster mask off his face underneath the sketches.

The reason why it isn’t finished is, that I am not happy with the current state of it. Right now it even has details, teeth (made out of fimo) and is painted, but it is simply too heavy and not symmetrical enough for my liking.
