Day 92 - Marble Birdie

Third of three models using marbles, and I think the weakest. For some reason I am not a fan of this bird, which I started with the head and then moved onto the body. Maybe because the foot feel rushed, who knows!

Day 91 - Two Heads Are Totally Better Then One!

After seeing how well the marbles worked as body fillers, I found myself trying it out on two different models. Today’s is the first, and I think by far my favourite model so far in this project. I loved designing the heads and fat ripple that formed when pushing two of the marbles together.

Day 90 - Great Teeth!

Of late I have been to the dentist a lot, and had to have 4 fillings, so I decided to create a little tooth to celebrate the fact! Plus Mel gave me the idea.

Day 88 - Red Heads Are The Way Forward

Today’s head consists of a long pointy nose and a haircut, which really suits the model!

Day 87 - Tough Looking Guy!

This head reminds me of a certain comic book character I would read as a kid. Can you guess who!?

Day 86 - Head Week Starts

For the next few days I will concentrate on heads, not sure why just fancy it! So here is the first, who happens to have a massive nose!

P.s. re-looking at this side view the head looks a little rude!! Which was not meant!!

Day 85 - What Was I Thinking!!

Today is my second stab at recreating the pictures that I drew at a young age. The nightmares I had.

Day 84 - Ted is Back, and Bigger then Ever!

As I go about the long and tiresome process of animation, I have decided to use day 4’s model (also known as Ted) as the main character in my first short film. For that Ted needed an up scale!

Day 83 - Blue Marble Monster!

This is my first model to use an inner skeleton that is not a metal frame, but a solid shape instead. I decided to use marbles of different sizes, and on this model it seems to have worked well. The model turned out better than I could have hoped for.

Day 82 - Hop and a Jump

Like yesterday’s model todays is also uncompleted but for good reason. I was worried that if I did add any more details it would ruin my lovely Kangaroo.

Day 81 - Nothing Gets Wasted!!

This unfinished little guy was an experiment using only left over parts of clay so nothing would go to waste. I like him so much I may have to create a bigger finished version at some point.

Day 80 - Who Said Punk Was Dead!?!

Punks are cool man, and really fun with all the piercings!

Day 79 - Classic Death, How Else?!

Built up from a playmoblie scythe, my look for death is very much like every other death out there, but why change something that is already perfect.

Day 78 - Blue As The Sea

The biggest mammal in the world is the next creature in my real animal collection.

And this one was my favourite one in this range so far!

Day 77 - Sand Terrors or Silly Monsters?

After seeing my niece playing in a sand pit, I have decided to create a short film about a little demon that is trying to escape the pit but a little someone may make it hard to do so!

Day 76 - Bald is the New Look!

Maybe my closest to a Nick Park look so far, this thug turned out better then I first thought he would.

I seem to have a thing about bald heads, not sure why? Maybe I just cannot be bothered to model hair styles!

Day 75 - I Was One Weird Child!

As a child I drew in a very strange way, dark figures with the word death written everywhere, so with the clay I have tried to recreate one of these images. I must have been such a strange child.
