Sea Turtle Sculpt by Aaron LaBow aka TRFN

 Initial  turtle body sculpt, clay sculpted around a old computer mouse armature + head.

 Here I added the arm flippers undetailed at present.

 Another view of the sculpt.

 Turtle with rear flippers undetailed.

 Partial back turtle shell carapace. Each plate shaped,cut and placed individually.

 Full carapace shell  sculpted, needs to be smoothed out

Another view of carapace shell.

I will  post more pics as i continue to progress.

Time taken: so far i have spent 7 to 8 hours over a two day period

Materials:
(1)old computer mouse as the base armature.
(2)sculpting tools.
(3)Clay NSP medium sulphur free plasteline
(4)wood skewer sticks.

Special Thanks to:
 Carl Forsythe for giving me the clay and sculpting tools

What is next:
(1) detail head, flippers, underbelly carapace

My Thoughts:
  This project is turning out way better than expected. I am still learning the ins and outs of NSP medium plasteline clay . I fully expect the end result to surpass my best expectations considering that i have already beat my base expectations.This is my first time using this kind of clay!
