he’s finished! i made this clay statue of Sobek out of sculpey and acrylic paint. there is a core of aluminum inside the torso to make baking more even, and the crown is 3 separate parts glued together, and then glued on top of his head. on the underside is his name painted in hieroglyphics. i wiped away the paint partially after applying it to get a sort of worn look to it, and i may spray it with a glossy finish to give it the illusion of a fired-clay piece. after finishing it i had a short dedication ritual where i let it waft in some frankincense and said a few short words.
