Let's sculpt: An Elf bust

New speed sculpting video! This time I did a speed sculpt of a manga-style elf bust. The material used was soft wax clay. I'm aiming for a more moe-fied look. I did this sketch in about 10 minutes. I will do a more 'realistic' take on the same subject in the next video.

This kind of videos is much easier to produce than a full on 'tutorial'. This is  good because I can make more videos faster. So be sure to tune in next week!

Takayuki Takeya works documentary

If you're a fan of Takayuki Takeya, sculpting or design in general you need to see this. It's a pity that it's not subtitled for international audience.

Monster Girls Creature sculpts series!

One of my new year resolution is to sculpt more this year (and get more commissions done). So to start that off I promise myself to make a new figure every 2 weeks, more or less. I have this idea of making Monster Girls creature sculpts since back in 2007. So I thought this was a great time to get the project going.

Currently I've sculpted 2 monster girls. The first one was  Harpy and the second one was Nagja the gorgon. These and future sculpts will be made using my MwaxZ S sculpting wax. I will be sharing my method and technique in making them in this blog, Midztoyz facebook page and my tumblr blog. I usually update my tumblr blog first and then compile the posts there in this blog. I will also be making more videos on this, although not as a weekly scheduled upload like I previously intended. Producing weekly videos is a large undertaking.

More pictures of Harpy and Nagja the Gorgon after the break.
Enjoy!
