Pumpkin King Maquette Project

Hey boys and ghouls. Just in time for the Halloween season, I've begun working on a special project, one that might help refine my sculpting skills or challenge me a bit. I wanted to create a medium sized maquette, something that I thought be fun to create and allow me some artistic freedom also. The piece I've begin developing is based on Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas animated film, with a bit of my own twist to it.

It's been a bit of time since I've worked with polymer clay so I warmed up a bit with a similar smaller piece to get my gears turning. With some detailed sculpting and distressed paint I felt that I was ready to tackle something far more complex.
