Finishing the squirrel...

Next, I sculpted the hands; these were much easier than usual, as the pose meant that a lot of the hands and fingers are hidden, so I didn’t need to sculpt them!

Then I sculpted the tail. This was pretty simple too; a big blob of putty, shoved into place, smoothed a bit, then marked all over roughly, and finally the fur texture gradually tidied up.

I next added a couple of bracers on the forearms using Brownstuff; Greenstuff would have done the same job, but I find the different colour makes it easier for me to keep track of everything while sculpting.

Again, I mixed too much putty, so used some to add a bit of detail to the quiver.

Then I added the squirrel’s head; I drilled a hole into the body, and inserted the wire, bending it where needed to get the pose I wanted.

Then I started adding the quiver and a couple of pouches to fill gaps under the arrow.

Lastly, I needed to add a hood. I used a small flattened piece of putty on top of his head, and added a couple of loops around the ears, then a longer piece on the back of his head, and blended them all together. Then I spent some time smoothing and shaping the hood, until I was happy with the way it looked.

And with the hood done, the squirrel archer was complete!

Quick note – all tools used for this sculpt were the same as in the ‘Tools’ entry earlier.

Again excellent but I would keep the picture of the quiver on it’s own away from Warren he might think it’s something else! Or is it just my dirty mind.
