Introduction—Portfolio: Spring and Summer 2020

 "Badger from Epimetheus"

 This one I made for Art230. I was based upon a creature from a short story that I wrote, and I used the project as motivation to write.

Materials include Sculpey (polymer clay) and acrylic paint. The left image is the animal before receiving its paint job, and the right is the final product.

"Psychopomp"

This is a talisman-type piece that I made over the summer of 2020. It depicts a California Condor standing tall behind an image of an embryo.

It is entirely made from Sculpey.

"Sinornithosaurus Attempts I and II"

 

Over the summer of 2020, I attempted to work on a Sinornithosaurus model from Sculpey and an armature of aluminum foil, wire, and masking tape.

I hope to make a finalized model of Sinornithosaurus at some point.

"Tribute to Wayne Barlowe—Bolt Tongue Bust WIP"

 

 Another sculpture I began in the summer of 2020. This one is based off of Wayne Barlowe's Bolt Tongue (Here)—from Expedition, part of his Darwin IV speculative evolution project.

 

Materials include Sculpey, and an armature of newspaper and aluminum foil.

I must maintain that this is based upon Wayne Barlowe's work, and I am not making money off of this piece. All rights concerning this belong to him.

"Cornucopia WIP"

This is another talisman-like piece. It is an abstract cornucopia with some Giger-esque biomechanical features. I applied Fibonacci sequence to the spiral shape.

Materials include Sculpey.

"Shark Tooth Button Attempts I through VI"

Here are a whole bunch of Sculpey shark teeth attempts. Over the summer of 2020, I wanted to make shark tooth buttons as a demented accessory. I am still working on these, and I can't say when I will be finished.
