some has guessed it right! my upcoming resin toy will be a fortune cookie(releasing end of september), the inspiration came indirectly from last HK trip, no i have not seen any fortune cookie in HK, nor is it originated from asia, i suppose the memory of HK, the stereotype image of chinese temple & fortune teller on the street gave me the idea to create this character! and this is how it’s created…
many fortune cookies goes into my tummy…for the sake of research! oh, and pages of sketches at the same time!
building the bone with foil paper…(i know it looks more like a croissant)
cover the skeleton with dough(sculpey)!
keep building and shaping till it looks like a fortune cookie…
side view of my cookie!
sculpt his little legs & ass-hole* (no, seriously!)
make some paper templates for the face :)
lift the surface for his mouth(lips?)
template for his mustache…
adding eyes & mustache :{
nose & teeth! face is almost there…. :{B
this is the fun part, slowly & carefully sculpt his two arms without template or guides!
and this is what his little hands look like up close!
….to be continued! ;)
