hello! its been awhile, i’ve been busy with the family and preparing for some DCon releases, Sushi Inu is a completely new toy design based on one of my Sushi Kaiju drawing, and most challenging piece i’ve made so far(technically), anyways, this is how it was made… starting with sketch and foil skeleton…
briefly warped up with super suclpey
with some help from the back of a marker pen, i was able to press the holes in even size…or close enough, these are for the legs!
shaped the seaweed warp…
preparing paper stencils…

mark the guides…
this is guide for the ear join areas…
carve back in for the ear joins
sculpt the eyes and mouth…
his little butt and tail
now that features are done, time to fill in with sushi rice…
Sushi Inu’s body complete!
moving on to his parts! for the ears, i drew the ear guide with sharpie on a piece of baking paper…
sculpt onto the baking paper that warps around the sushi, so that it maintain the shape and not stick onto the surface…
sharpie marked guide will transfer onto oil based sculpey surface, very helpful for me to continue shaping the ear part…
last part of the sculpt, four little legs! and Sushi Inu is ready for the mold… TO BE CONTINUED :)
