Wrath of the Lichking model. . .

I wanted to make my boyfriend something special for his 40th birthday but what to make? Well a few years ago he asked me if could make him a model of the Lichking from World of Warcraft. I knew something like that would take me ages to make so I started making it three months before his birthday and I was only a week late in finshing it so not too bad!.
          The base of the model is made from four layers of foam board covered in air drying clay. The body is made from air drying clay over a wire fame and the whole thing is painted in acrylic paint.
          I've never made a clay sculpture of this size and detail before so a lot of it was guess work and trial and error. I'm really pleased with the end product. Some of the proportions arent exactly what they should be and I had to simplify some of the details but overall I think it looks awesome!
