Captain Mac?


Having had a few weeks off from drawing, digital painting and basically doing anything creative what so ever. I now feel back on track (creatively) and have gone straight into designing Mac. Mac is the guy responsible for the guidance and teachings of our main character. He is an ex-Sargent who was left to rot on this planet after refusing to follow the order to wipe out a friendly and unarmed race. He found our main character at a crash site and has cared and raised the boy in the best way he knew. Hence the young lad being super efficient in handling fire arms and tactical.. warfare.

My drawing style has real loosend up on this piece. But it's something I'm happy with, so much so, that I want to re-do the work I've already done to match this loose pen and ink style.

(MAC is just a working title for now!)

Welcome to Sculpy!



I've had two blocks of super sculpey just sitting on my desk for way to long now, so I thought it about time I used them for something! This is my first time using sculpy and I've learnt quite a bit from the experience. As you can tell from the pictures (I learnt a lot about the correct baking times) Due to me over baking the model at different stages I'm now going to have to give it an acrylic base coat, just so it all looks neat and tidy. You'll notice I haven't made the gun for this fella. There is no excuse for this other than it was way to hard to make from sculpey alone. Therefore I'm waiting until we go back to Uni so I can ask the advice of Dave Jones.

From toe to ear, this little fella stands 8cm tall
