For this project, I wanted to do something that was familiar, but slightly off. I also wanted to try and sculpt a body, so I figured a mermaid would be a good canvas. I ended up deciding on making the tail an actual fish, and giving her a more realistic look than normal magical mermaids.
I used sculpey for this project, and it was very annoying. At first, it was amazing, since you didn't need to score and slip, but it ended up breaking a lot, especially when I added the hair to the head. It was very hard to get her balanced, which is why she is leaning a bit. Overall, I'd use sculpey for smaller projects, not something so heavy. I feel like I did a pretty good job on the female body, although the hands and breasts are a little off. The breasts broke in half, so I had to repair them and make them look semi-alright. The hands were incredibly difficult. I also feel like I could have painted it a little better, but I wanted the fish to resemble a koi fish. Overall, this was an important project since I discovered a new medium and it was my first practice for sculpting a human body.
