Title: Cheap idol
Post by: Suber on 27 February 2016, 09:46:16 AM

I'm into some kind of Diogenes phase, or so it seems. This tiny can of Actimel (a kind of liquid yoghurt product stuff, quite common over here) came to my hands. As part of some sort of children oriented promotion, they are producing some cans with faces in this way:

Something needed to be done. Not sure what, but something ;D. Using some DAS putty I came to this:

I experimented a little with the crown thing. Everything I tried was quite over the top.

I finally found this solution:

Not sure about the inspiration, I went through the Mayan to the Chinese, and everything in that spectrum. But it kinda works, I hope.

So, some colour and texture...

I should have texturized the stone, I think. The idol looks too plastic-like. But well, maybe it's not stone at all, it's made of some kind of alien material! That would be a mistery for Indiana Jones to solve!
