An Entry for @papa-pepper's "Wild and Strange Contest #2" - The Clay Man!

in #art8 years ago

Have you seen @papa-pepper's Wild and Strange Contest?

If not you should really check it out here.

@ballinconscious was the winner of round 1 with the photo entry below

Well done @ballinconscious!! Note photo borrowed from original post

And round 2 was to...create a piece of art based off of this photo..You guys can draw, paint, pyrograph, get crazy with the digital, use modelling clay, whatever you can think of ...

Well who could resist!! As the man himself has mentioned clay I thought aye aye, before me was my daughter's play-doh. Clay! I thought! So off I went..

For once I didn't take any photos of the making of it as I became quite engrossed and was also eating my dinner at the time!

So here is the dissection!!

The first thing I made was the feet, I mixed some white and red play-doh to get a fleshy sort of tone. I really liked the end result...

Then I rolled some blue play-doh or for the legs.. a bit of judicious bending to mimic the real pose and done!

Now the body, a quick T shape in purple glitter play-doh... (The play-doh is from my daughters 'my little pony' set lol)

Some arms and head. The dreds were really fun to put on!

Now for the mask. Quick pen drawing for the fine features

It was then as I started to put it together I realised the top was too heavy. Oh well, nothing that ramming a straw up the little fellows arse wouldn't fix!!

Then it was just putting it all together

Hey cool image says my new play-doh friend!

But that was before the breakdancing accident.. alas

So there it is, before the accident my representation of the winning pic from round 1!

Let me know what you think!!

Wow, great contest entry post @meesterboom. That is definitely some of the finest play-doh art I have ever seen. I like to imagine myself on a tropical island sometimes so this fits me perfectly, Resteemed! ^_^

Hehe, superb. I am glad you like!! I hope there are many non play-doh tropical islands in your future!

I really do, I originally thought it was professional sculpting clay so I was even more impressed when I read that it was just play-doh. Thank you that's very tropically kind of you ^_^

No, thank you man. That's quite the compliment. When I got to the purple colour and realised it had glitter in it, I though oh no. But it worked out!!

Yeah, for real. Thats what I thought. Was even funnier when it turn out to be your kids play-doh. The glitter added a nice touch, my girlfriend loooooooves glitter :p

Very nice @meesterboom!!! (But sorry about the......
you know........
"Accident":) Lol

Hehe, cheers man, The little clay guy was sorry too!! lol

Haha, that's really clever and funny!! Your friend should do that for a living!!

This is awesome! I hope your daughter doesn't mind you mixing her play-dough colors haha!

Lol, i might have gotten away with the little amount I used for the arms and head. I will be in huge trouble if she notices tho!!

That's it!!! GREAT JOB!! HAHAHAHA

Great effort though and extra brownie points for the glitter, very festive.

I never thought of festive!! Yes! I will now pretend the glitter was deliberate!! ;0)

I think it's nice.
