Superhero and villain maquettes and Marionettes for sale

These are the original ideas for the Marionette i'm currently working on(see previous post) I hope to make a full size Villain Marionette, however it wont be in time for the show...or will it? Still no date haha. These sculpts were done using Klean Klay and are about 7 inches tall. I'm thinking about possibly making action figures out of them, any thoughts?

Also, here's a peek at some Marionettes I got into this year's Spring show at the Academy of Art. I received 2nd place Best of Show for undergrad, woohoo! I hope to have better photos of them eventually. The stands are made from forged steel and finished with linseed oil. They stand about four and a half feet tall. The marionettes vary in size, the tallest being nearly 3 feet when standing erect. They are made of ceramic and and finished with glazes. They are all currently for sale. If anyone is interested, leave me a comment and I'll provide you with my contact info.

A superhero in the making

This is a marionette I'm making for a superhero show. No one knows when the show is going to be and there is a possibility I wont finish in time. Either way I'm having a blast Making this guy, trying new techniques and going in a slightly different direction. I've started using hinge joints for the elbows and knees and I'm also trying out interchangeable hands. I'll post more photos when it's finished, keep an eye out.

Here's some more stuff from the spring show. The photos were taken on my broken point and shoot camera so the photos aren't that great.

some stuff!

Hey everyone, I ended up getting a job soon after posting my last blog and then school started, and now I have 3 jobs and school to keep up with. It's been a busy past couple of months and I have a bit to show. Instead of doing things in a logical way I'm going to start with some of my most recent stuff from school and over the days or weeks I'll probably work back to the spring show. But here are some pics of the 1st three marionettes of the semester. Oh yeah, just so you know these aren't the final glaze fired peices, but I should have pictures of the final firing next week.
