A maquette of Elise from my comic <i>Persona Animus</i>. It is showing its age a bit.
Super Sculpey over a simple wire armature. Her tail is picture hanging wire, built up with clay at the base. Her whiskers are twist-tie wires. Painted with Ral Partha figure paints on primer.

- The Desert Fox
Modeling this would be lots of fun though. The dress might be challenging to rig up (needs cloth simulation most likely) , but it would make for a great character.
- The Desert Fox
The armature is minimal, just twisted armature wire (about the same gauge as a coat hanger but easier to bend) in the shape of an upside-down Y with 'feet.' One arm of the Y goes down each leg into the base, and the top goes through her neck so her enormous noggin doesn't break off. You'll notice that I kept her arms close to her body so I didn't have to make separate armatures for them.
If a sculpture gets much bigger than this I'd want to use a tightly-compressed ball of tinfoil as a core for thicker masses like the head, or the sculpey won't be able to bake thoroughly.
Nice work on the sculpture of Elise. :)

Most people older than four can hold Elise easily, to her chagrin. =) http://sankam.deviantart.com/art/Fl.....oodle-61164815
Elise is actually small even by her world's standards. Most mice in <i>Persona Animus</i> are three or four feet tall as adults.
Amy herself is smaller than the typical mouse of her version of Earth- Most mice are 4'6"-5', whereas Amy is a mere 3'11", full-grown. The average fur on her Earth is the same as the average human on our RL Earth. Despite her size (and sometimes her demeanour), she is brighter than the average, with an IQ of about 130 or so. (She doesn't always act her age, even though she's retro in many ways, she certainly feels it, being 30....) She doesn't think of herself as special in any way, in spite her odd eyes and the indestructible tailbow that never comes off, or in how multifaceted her personality is. (Her description is my Featured Submission on my FA page.)
I do watch you on deviantART, too, although I much prefer it here at FurAffinity. I've also been actively promoting Persona Animus both here and on another furry-themed webcomic's forum, for like-minded fans there, especially when other readers there asked about other recommended strips. :) (the webcomic at http://www.genecatlow.com )
It'd be interesting (if unlikely, given different worlds) to see Amy and elise meet... ;) (Don't worry- Amy is actually very good at taking "NO" and "not interested" for an answer, but would prefer staying on friendly terms if the option is there... :) )

I'm flattered that you are so enthusiastic, but why the burning need to know?
