Ampharos Sculpture

My largest Pokemon sculpture yet! I really wanted to do an Ampharos, if only to work with the beads again. This fellow is 5 inches tall, and... longer than that. This one is made out of Super Sculpy with its abdomen and head being bulked out with aluminum foil. Wire supports the head and neck, as well as the tail.

This guy gave me a lot of trouble, especially with the arms that fell off several times. However, I managed to fix them and you can't even tell. He took quite some time to paint as I've found Super Sculpey isn't as hospitable for lighter colored paints as regular Sculpey is. This one is also pained with acrylics. The orbs are again glass beads, and I filled in the holes with red glass paint.

I'm going to hold off on selling this one, and probably several others to come, for a convention here in Wichita this August. But I will let him go if someone happens to give me an offer I can't resist.
