Time for more fun with Super Sculpey! Trying some new things here, though I still have quite a lot to learn.
So, in my mind, badgers are always associated with baking. This is the fault of the Genesis / Sega CD game "Puggsy" with a level called "Badger Mill", which had the player do things like baking bread and throwing bags of flour at the badger boss. And so the association kinda stuck.
So, badger baker! Full view for more badger.
Also, this will be the first submission to FA in the illustrious cross-category "Sculpting / Fat Furs / Badger".

Thank you!
The apron was actually surprisingly easy. I just sliced an apron shape out of some flattened Scupley and pasted it on his body. I thought it might end up too thin at the bottom and burn while baking, but it turned out fine. The most trouble it gave me was how many coats of paint it took to get it looking properly white.

So cute and charming!
I love how the tufts of fur came out, they really add the effect of thick fur. I can kinda see some lumps and other bumpy areas, to smooth those out you can dip a paintbrush in alcohol and brush the surface. Isopropyl alcohol gently melts the surface of super sculpey and will give you a really lovely and seamless finish. This would also smooth out the lines used to simulate the fur on the arms/face, and also help bind two separate pieces of clay together. :3
Really though, I love this to bits. It makes me think of the Redwall book series!

Ha, that would be cool!
I would have no idea how to go about making something of that scale, though. Sculpey's out of the question. I guess I would have to do clay sculpting to make a mold and do casting in plaster or resin or something.
A bit over my head, but it would be a neat project.
