girl with a stick (magenta beginnings)

As usual with weekends, I find it escaping my grasp as quickly as sand in a sandstorm. My current project is this 1/20 scale sculpt of a sci-fi character. It's an original design by torei, done up as a possible prototype for the trex mech pilot. I decided to make a small scale sculpt in sculpey. My first go at the armature was to use stikfas as a base and build on top of it (above middle). I went as far as putting on a layer of sculpey before deciding that the stikfas was just too big. So I came up with another armature made from wire (above right). Stay tuned for more progress of this sculpt and feel free to leave a comment!
