Just wanted to share a few more of my newer pieces

[Valvaren]

As the title says I just want to share with you all some updates of my clay creations. I hope you all enjoy!!

I decided to completely redo how I make my GTPs and ended up with this as one of my final prototypes. I made so many trying to get the style right that I burnt out on making them so I don't have any newer versions to post at this moment.









Also decided to try my hand at ball pythons again, the top snake was a Pastel bp I did for Acre last september (2012) and the bottom Pastel was made just last week, I'm really liking the improvement.



The success with Pastel made me try a few other morphs. ( In advance I know the Genetic Stripe is off color. I couldn't make a nice brown/yellow and my only other base option was a drab light tan color so I went for a darker rich mix)





This guy was my first attempt at a garter snake and I must say I freaking love him!!!!!






I also ended up taking a stab at some fantasy esq snakes and hope to have some random colors and also some birth stone themed snakes up soon but these are my first two attempts with the fantasy theme






And my first octopus just because he is cute




Hope you all enjoyed and thank you so very much for looking !!!!

The Octopus is very cool. Did you mold those with the color, or mold then paint? Clay always looks so much easier than it really is. Nice job.

DooLittle theres no molding, its all just by hand (rolling out the clay, shaping, adding pattern and scale texture) and I don't paint either everything you see is all just clay that has been glazed shiny. The fantasy ones and the octopus have shimmering due to a dusting of metallic powders. I find paint can look super messy and the clay itself is much brighter and easier to get into the shape you'd like and also easier to fix You are so right about it harder then it looks, legs are my worst enemy! And thank you

h00blah, I was really excited that the octopus came out as well as it did, i'll definitively be adding them to my line up! I love the garter too!!! I don't know if I want to keep him or off him for sale :S!!!
