Starlight With His Stripes

No more stripes for a while...they started to get optical on me as I was painting them so I guess that is a sign to stay away from them on the next few figures. You know, it is one thing to paint the lines on a figure in a painting on canvas, but it is a whole other beast to paint them on sculpture. I have got to be crazy!!! The results are below...this is Starlight, Starbrites fraternal twin.



Full standing figure on a papier mache box. Figure stands 10.5" tall (see him below in white) and is my second paperclay figure I have sculpted.

Back of the figure shows his crossing suspenders holding up his striped slacks.

Close up of Starlight's smile and details of his collar and hat. Poor kid really has an exaggerated nose on him, but that is part of his charm!!

On to the next piece now...I think it is time to get back to some pumpkin figures with quirky brows and smiles. Have a great weekend!!
