Project Rat

I'm going to make a clay rat for my boss. I think I want a desktop style figure of a rat, but I'm not sure what kind of style yet. Realistic or simple/stylized. We'll see.

Project Christmas Cards

My idea for christmas cards this year is a little clay rat (very simple design) glued to the card. I've made a sample already, but I've thrown it away before taking pictures. I'll post a card tomorrow, I think I'll have some done then.

Project Baby Elephant

One of my friends loves cute little animals. So for Christmas I'm thinking of making her a baby elephant, cause what's cuter than that? No seriously, is there anything cuter than that, cause then that's what I'll make instead. I mean, I'm looking to pander here and get a cheap "that's a great present cause it's cute," so if a baby elephant doesn't do it, what will?

Here's a side-by-side Posted by Hello


Nixon. He needs some water in his jar, I'm still trying to figure out what to use for that... Posted by Hello

Nixon

I've finally finished the futurama inspired President Nixon's head in a jar clayguy, but I left my digital camera over at my cousins. I'll post a picture as soon as I get my camera back, or as soon as I can borrow a camera. The nixon is a small piece, but I like it. I finally managed to use one of those small glass jars I had laying around.

Next Clay idea - incredibles

I just watched The Incredibles. I loved it, of course. I want to make a clay Mr. Incredible, but I want to make the scene where he is at his insurance office barely fitting in the chair. I can't seem to find a picture of that scene on the internet, and I can't start until I can find a few pictures. Anybody seen some pictures of that scene?

Packaging draft picture


This is a draft of the packaging that I'm making for my clayguys. I don't know how I'm going to make the plastic holder part, or even how I'm going to laminate the box to make it look like a real action figure box. But I'm working on it. This election stuff is just killing me though... Posted by Hello

Packaging

I'm working on packaging for the kerry bush figures. I want it to look like the packaging for action figures. I have a draft printed out. It was harder to make than I thought, and I still don't know what I'll use for the plastic part of the package. I'll post a picture of what I have tomorrow.
