MUCH much easier than the other head before it…

This time it’s more of a lizard head with the scales. I actually really liked this and it fitted well on the actual piece

The mouth, the gaping maw I wanted it to have where it curves into itself and coils was so narrow and barely supported, but too thick to leave alone. So I eventually scrapped the head

# data[].attributes.body
Before I had this semi-cool head on it but once I realized “oh! It has to be hollow!” I found my biggest issue, small narrow spaces that are around curves I can’t get to.

I added it spilling its guts but trying to hold it all in like me :)

Mostly this is supposed to convey the emotion/word of “wrongness”, I want it to be unrecognizable as to what creature it is, I want it’s limbs to be wrong.

This was what really made me want to do this. All these different styles on the back of the same species of lizard is really cool and in the game that these guys are from, they all have different personalities and strengths/weaknesses. I love this Eel back but I wanted almost a ‘turtle’ aspect on the lizard as a protective shell because they’re insanely tanky in the game and it’s like trying to break open a crab at a restaurant

I had broken the skull in half basically, used the sides of the skull to add a three pronged base that it’ll stand on, I turned the nose into a type of finger/just made it longer to be more (in my own words) more Jewish and I added spikes on it and smoothed it and cleaned it all up, merging pieces of the skull together. I don’t think I used a lot if any clay from my bag from this, all the clay I needed was inside the skull.

This got to a point where I shaved off key-parts that I was going to use to merge the skull back on to itself, making really large gaps where there should be part of a bone and skull.

# data[].attributes.body
With how I made part of the skull, building volume up with sheets of clay it made weird layers that dried up inside, so while hollowing it out, I had to make sure that the top of the skull was just thin enough and had no air inside. This picture shows how the skull dried weirdly and unevenly because of this, causing the process to be..messy..with getting the top of the skull off.

# data[].attributes.body
I had thoroughly given up on the bottom jaw, but that didn’t mean the thing should be scrapped or blown up in the kiln, so I did a lobotomy on the poor sucker.

# data[].attributes.body
This previous student had merged the jaw at the back and not on the ball joint thingy at the top, I tried to replicate this but the sizing of it never worked, it was always too small or too frail or I just didn’t like how it connected and removed it.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to match it and size it just under the size of this jaw from the skeleton in the room, using it as a reference to make the jaw. Another problem I faced was this drying out either not enough or too much, it’s easy to wrap up tightly but difficult to dry as the part I want to merge dries first since it’s the thinnest, so I tried eventually to copy what another student did..

# data[].attributes.body
The first three times I failed making the bottom jaw, i was trying to make it a separate thing and tried to perfectly make it the right size of the skull in front of me.
