Lunch Crunch - Day 1 - Migraine
This is my first crack at lunch crunch sculpting. It's kind of a cheat because while 90% of the character was finished on the first 1hr lunch. I wanted to go back and finish it the next day. There is a total of approx 2hrs put into this little character study. I had a headache while sculpting him and so that sort of bled through into his expression. I decided to call it "Migraine". Approx 5.5" ta
ll in WED clay.

updated: Now with cracks in the face

So I went back and redid the whole body below the neck on my pugnacious gladiator thanks to some great insight from my friend Tyler Jacobson. The downside is that when I finally cooked him he got some gnarly cracks in the bridge of the nose. I think the ones under the left eye (his left) are happy accidents that look like scars. The bridge of the nose one? Not so much. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm leaning towards either stuffing some more clay in there and re-baking or tinting some epoxy sculpt grey and filling it in to look like scar.
My fear with the super sculpy is while it will look the best, it could expand in there and push the face open creating a massive sculpture ruining crack. Any experience with this? Ideas, suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Jon
