Wanted to post a quick update! Sorry for my lack of progress and DragonCon photos - my house has been without power since Sunday due to Hurricane Irma 😬 Our home/my workshop is totally fine otherwise, and we have been hunkering down at my parents' place (Skooma the cat, too!). Ill be posting some shots of Snow White and my upcoming costume plans ASAP!! For now, please enjoy this silly video of "The Skoo" 😸
Didn't quite finish as much clay work as I wanted yesterday... Get this, I stumbled upon some high-res artwork of the image on the shield Saturday! It is in the Zakarum Catherdral in Act 5 while playing through campaign mode. I couldn't believe it!! I plan to make a more detailed blog post about the artwork and story if the shield, but basically there were a few concessions (in the form of design changes) I had to make before continuing the clay. For now, here is a time lapse if the updated side detail I worked on yesterday!
Just another Saturday working on Akarat's Awakening 😸 Excited to say I'm finally on to sculpting the front detail in paper clay! Check it out

But that doesn't mean I'm not starting as fresh as possible! Started today by coring out the center of the pauldrons to start on reconstruction:
