Never. NEVER did I imagine that this commission would turn out so well, that I would be so in love with it, or that I would so desperately wish to keep it. Here are some work in progress pics.
Like all my Monsters I started by making the basic body shape. Kind of a capsule-ish shape. I then flatten one end and make the space to distinguish the legs. I forgot to take a picture of just the plain, blue Monster body.

I added the robe to the body before sculpting each arm separately. I dressed the arms in sleeves before attaching them. Yes, those are pleats you see in his robe and on his sleeves.

I added little bits of metal to the bottom of the briefcase to look like hinges. I have other bits on top as the handle and clasps, you'll see them in later, finished photos.



Then I decided not to take the steno-pad off for a variety of reasons, including fear of it burning during baking and fear of it snapping off during handling and shipping. The finished Monster can still hold the pad, but it is not permanently attached.
The next post will have pictures of the finished and baked Monster.
