Using my tools I added some creases into the shape
to try and simulate cloth. |

I placed my second rectangle on top of the smoothed
out drape and along side the elbow. |

Here you can better see what the positioning is.
Instead of wraping it to the front I just pinched
it slightly to try and give it some folds. |
|

I then used my tools to further deepen the folds
and try to create a draperie effect.
It looks simple but I had a bit of a hard time with
it. |

This is what the figure looked like at this stage.
Not that bad.
I just need one more piece to drape over the forearm.
So I cut another little rectangle and... |

...Placed it just on the edge of the third fold and
blended it into the 3 layers.
I think I made it a bit too thick. it looks more
like a blanket over his arm then a cape - LOL. |

Here is a top view showing how the cloth layer flods
in behind the arm.
I decided to fill in all the gaps because it will
be easier to make a copy and mold then if it had all
kinds of crevices. |

Now that the capes are done (Even if I am not 100%
happy with them) I next added a small snake shape
to thicken the left side of the statue.
The addition is where the arrows are pointing. This
adds a deeper groove between the body and the toothpick
spear. |

Of course now I must do the same to the other side
:)
But now it looks much much better at the base. I
also added some Super Sculpey behind the toothpick
so that the mold will not get caught inside a tiny
opening and be torn apart after the first casting. |

Now the statue has a glove on his left hand so I
used a small piece of Super Sculpey and wrapped it
around the arm and then blended the side that was
touching the hand.
Use the tools to blend the outside part to the arm
(white arrow) |

The rear of the cape looked a little flat so I added
a small extra layer to raise it a bit higher. |
|
 |
|

Here is a great view of how the added piece flows
into the front of the figure.
I also filled out the gap between the chest and
the arms so that the silicone would not get stuck
in there during molding. |

Last step is his helmet.
Man this is HARD to make. I spent almost 1 hour and
gave up. It's almost 1:30 am and time for bed. We'll
have to continue later in the week... |

I did however do a little variation.
Since I am going to be making a mold, I didn't want
to do Injection Positives, so I left a gap between
the helmet and the glove.
This way I will be able to pour the Resin into the
base and make my New Positive. |
|
 |
A lot easier,
and when you look at the sculpt from the top, it doesn't
really make that much a difference. |

Finally after 5 hours I have a finished Helmet.
The crazy thing is that I started one from scratch
and after about 2 hours, it was TOO big :(
I trashed that one and then TOO big again. AHHHH.
|
|
 |
Finally I took
the original ugly helmet and added little pieces of Sculpy
to smooth out and give the proper shape.
