I figure I’m pretty much done here.
Essentially, I sculpted a Laika doll from polymer clay, with pipe cleaners for bendable joints. He can switch out faceplates for different expressions, wear a hat (not included in picture), pose, whatever. Pretty much the only thing I have to do now is finish the two blank faceplates you see there and make a tiny PET.
(Feel free to suggest expressions you want to see, as I can always make more faceplates.)
Holy SHIT. I want to sculpt myself a Barrel now. No way it’d look that good, though!
