6th Polymer Figurine

They are known as the seductresses of the night, the female demons that stalk sleeping men. The Succubus is a long known creature that has gained popularity as an attractive and lustful woman with a few added features. This polymer figurine was crafted with the idealized image of the perceived modern succubus with horns, a tail, wings and claws. At 6 inches she freely kneels in a seductive pose, wearing a highly exposing corset. Her demon-bat wings are 8 inches across, and she would be 8.5 inches tall if standing.

More Polymer Figurines

I have continued to create more polymer clay figurines as part of a over all fantasy series. I'm not sure yet how many I will do in total, but I will be alternating between male and female characters.

 

 

With the popularity of stories like Lord of the Rings, and games like World of Warcraft, the dwarven race has become more well known in the fantasty genre. This 5th figurine is a dwarf barbarian and stands 7 inches tall. I was unsure how I would do with the challenge of making a stout and pudgy body type, or physically less attractive. But it would seem that 'ugly is easy' and this battle hardened character came together better than I expected.

 

 

 

This 8 inch long, 2 inch high mermaid was my quickest work yet and completed in only four days! She is free sitting and very delicate. Making a figurine without feet was a challenge and nice change of pace. Not needing to make clothes was also refreshing, but it demanded more attention to the overall sculpture. A lovely string of pearls wraps around her body from top to bottom, and a small pearl crown sits across her head. She is the fourth character in my fantasy series.

 

This is a 9 inch tall mage that specializes in destruction and fire magic. His clothes were all hand sewn and designed by me. Glass marbles were used for both the staff and his crystal ball. His base is covered in shattered colored glass. My favorite feature is that the hood of his cloak can be pulled up or down over his head.

Polymer Clay Figurines

I've recently discovered a new sculpting medium that I really enjoy working with. Polymer clay is easy to use and sculpt and can be cured in an oven. For the mean time I will be focusing on creating figurines and dolls with it, and not so much drawing or painting.

This is my original one of a kind figurine. Completely crafted with polymer clay, with custom leather clothes that were hand stitched. It is 8 inches tall and 12 if standing. It is based on many of the typical fantasy designs of a wood type hunter/archer elf.

The next in my polymer set is a fairy girl. She is smaller, and would only be 7-8 inches if standing. I created the toadstoods from clay as well, and her clothes were modified from silk flowers. The wings were created from fabric, wire and acrylic paint.

 

 

River at Dawn

Oil Painting 20x16

Another landscape piece, which was started and completed in different years. These seem to now be part of a series that I have unknowingly started in using light and water as elements. I have again included an animal as part of the subject.

Portrait of H. Black

Watercolor 14x11

This is one of the few portraits I've ever done. I find that painting a portrait is significantly different, in that each area of color and light/dark tones need to be more precise and will take a little longer.

Lahaina Sunset

Oil Painting 16x20

While on vacation in Maui, I happen to capture this stunning sunset in the town of Lahaina. Most of my paintings seem to be landscapes, either on purpose or by coincidence. I figure that I enjoy that style the most, possibly because it reflects the most beauty from the world.

Hummingbird

Oil Painting 12x24

Another work with an animal subject. This was started and then finished after a long period.
