Ba'alius sculpt WIP

Hi guyssssss, well here's something kind of fun. For all you Ba'alius fans out there (I love you guys so much!), I've been working on a sculpture of him (for my portfolio) that I plan to make polyurethane resin casts of.

Here's the story:
He's going to be a regular horse first, so I can reach a broader audience and buy time to do more work on Strife of Khthon, but everything about him--his body type, his personality, etc.--is Bally. SO when the time comes--very soon!!--for me to send him off to be cast, I will sell the casts of him as a horse, then modify one to be him in his entirety--unicorn tail, blade horn, and all. THEN I'll cast that one and sell him to promote Strife of Khthon.

Incidentally, there are going to be some AWESOME changes going on with SoK. The story is the same, but it will soon be an illustrated novel--meaning larger (but slightly fewer) full-color, more detailed images (and a few spot images), and a little bit more text. I'm also planning on redoing the website in HTML5 (pretty!!! and modern!). Very excited.

I graduate in 2 months! So I will be acquiring some more 'free' time shortly!

Obviously he's got a ways to go before he's finished, and I've been having some anatomy issues, but so far so good. He's done in Roma Plastilina #3, a sulfur and oil-based clay that is very hard, but can be softened by heating it in a crock pot. This is the first time I've ever used it. It's awesome and retains a huge amount of detail. In the back there is a little sculpey sculpture of a chipmunk, not quite finished.

Sorry the pictures are crappy!

The next one I'm gonna do will be Xathiador, same idea (a regular horse first). He'll be a little more active.
