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.
