Mother, or Malorie as I affectionately call her. She is the final piece of this project. It’s through malorie that the others are given life, she does not control them though, merely oversees them. 

This project has been a lot of fun to work on. Thanks for tuning in.

SHE’S FINALLY DONE!

The culmination of four days of dedicated work. I had a real fun time with sculpting and painting the hands/feet and I was even able to get them to articulate.

I’m really happy with how she’s turned out overall. She’s sturdy (for the most part) and stands on her own.

Now I’ve set up that light box of sorts, I’ll post some better pictures of her tomorrow.

Made a huge amount of progress today, finished most of the hands and feet, and actually started Mother’s construction. She’s so close to being done it’s tantalizing

Took and edited last of the close-ups today. Next steps are to finish mother, build her a bigger lightbox, and photograph her too.

Old before + after of making wings for Mother. Took these on 03/11/20. I’ve made a lot of progress with actually assembling her, but I’m struggling with stability. 03/27/20

Mock-up for Mother’s assembly. I’ve had to replace the wires/spines a few times at this point. It’s been tricky to find wire that’s a small enough gauge to fit through but also is sturdy enough to hold them up. I ended up using guitar strings for the two bird skulls. Picture taken 03/11/20
