Sculpting continued

This week I spent most of my time sculpting the wolf head. I tried to get as much feedback from my peers as possible to help me achieve the right look for my wolf head. I have been waiting for the arrival of my wolf's eyes and jaw set this week. They arrived on the 4th of November and from the eyes I was able to make replicas which I have put into the clay sculpt.

This has enabled me to close the eye lids around the eyes so that hopefully the real eyes will fit nicely. For now the replica eyes I made have helped me to get the eye lids to look more realistic. Until now the empty sockets distracted the viewer from the wolf head as a whole. The sculpt is already hard to identify, as it without the fur and looks very strange.

Having recieved the jawset this week I have prepared a mould for the upper jaw. I wish to mould and cast the teeth because currently part of the form which holds the jaw open when set against the lower jaw is protruding downwards. I wish to remove this so I will mould and cast without including this part.



I hope to start working with the fur next week as I am going home to collect it this weekend.
