I PM'd Tiki Hula about Lyon's in case he didn't read your post. Tiki-Atari thank you. One of your mugs will be glazed like the rat fink. Dan says you are welcome. Tavarua Tiki I am saving all your photos, thank you. ========================================================================================== Tiki Atari's kickstarter project. It's been my job to mold his original and to make 23 fine tuned mugs. It's a weird project because what I'm attempting to do is to make the cast look as close to his 3D printer master as possible. It takes a day to do one. Here are a few examples. The printer didn't make one of the butt cheeks large enough. So here's where I have added it. I also carved the background lines and pressed in all the indentations. One of the mold lines ran over this area and a lot of detail was lost. I add suction cups, some so tiny that I use a wooden skewer to sculpt them. Another mold line runs over the sunken city ruins. There is a lot of detail to add back into this area. To cast this master I had to fill in all the deep or undercut portions. I dig out the letters so that they will show up better. I use a wet brush to smooth them. When I finish a set I line them up and go over them again to make sure I didn't miss anything. What I found yesterday was that all the left breast had shrunk more than the right as they firmed up. So one by one I added clay and built them all back up to double D's. They are back in plastic bags so that they will firm up slowly and this new clay will stick. I number all the bottoms and I have been allowed to put my name on the bottoms of those I work on. This is entirely Tiki Atari's design. I'm just hired help. This is a run of 6 with breasts on the half woman and half creature part of the sculpt. They show up on the standing woman and the diving woman. I have four to change with carving and 1 to do with special glazing. I better get busy. ======================================================== Tomorrow I'll put up more Mitch Tobias photos. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2014-05-09 13:26 ]
