 Some bronze has been polished and a new wax is ready to be casted, this is the final sculpture of the series of 3 using the same body and adding diferent details on each one.

 The fins and the tail of the new sculpture also ready to cast.

Here the first images of the actual animal, a ray. The fins and the tail go atached on it.

Besades this projects (like it was not enough) I have started another reproduction of a Romanic door, I'm keeping the scale on 1/16 like in the previous one. I will post pictures of the begining of the project very soon.

Peace and have a nide day!

So this is what I've been doing recently, testing a bit with new techniques, hair, texture... I also casted some fish to do in bronze. Its a shame this fish doesn't relly have many detais to show but the test was a full succes.

I'm soon to finish another girl wax, stay tunned!

Is finished and is here... After polishing, aplying the patina and the base I prowdly present the "Flying Woman" (not final name). I will not show a lot because I'm doing a video showing the sculpture with all the detail. At the end it was worth the effort!

In the new project I'm focusing on trying new techniques in small copies of the female body, in this one I've sculpted hair for the first time, next one will be fabric simulation and the last one kind of a smooth exo suit.

Here a detail of the stamp with my signature, I will use this to sing some sculptures.

Next post will show some advance in the resin blocs, and a new sculpture, a sea animal... stay tunned!

 I have used plastic parts and small rope to the wax sculptures to add texture and some more fine detail, normally it melts and burns like the wax, speacilly in smaller amounts.

Here a video abaut the begining of the polishing process:

                 

Can't wait to show more advance abaut this project!! Stay tunned!

Hello there friends, exellent and truly exiting times for a new post!! I just did yesterday the last bronze smelting with three casts, the woman figure, the cape and the complements (gogles, belt, supplies bags and stabilizers). I let the casts cool down for a day and today was time to open them! They all went surprisingly well as the bronze flow very well in all the holes and parts and there were no cast brakes or cracks.

As always, I had to do all this stuff with wax and add in it the entryes of bronze and exits of air, there were some tricky isues specially with the smallest parts of the sculptures, fingers, complements and sculpture tips with no air exits.

                   

                  

 Notice in this two pictures how I added some wax tubes to allow the bronze to flow from the tip of the fingers and the boots to aboid air bags, all this has to be cutted when is turned to bronze.

 When this is done the wax sculpture goes to the cast of 50% sand and 50% plaster, some fiberglass metal wire and wire frame is added for more consistency, it took a full single day to get ready the casts.

  First is the cape cast and second the woman cast, they are both pretty big!! :)

These pics are after breaking the casts, at this point all the entries and exits have to be cutted and the sculpture cleaned and polished. 

I can't wait to start tomorrow morning to polish the sculputures! 

I'm also doing some sketches to get ready some clothes for the stop motion animation so these are very busy and exiting times, till my next post! Peace!!!
