Spent a couple hours today making the lower body of this character and adding a few more details to his face. The large collar will be a bear-claw necklace. I’ve carved out one spot where a claw will go and you can see the pencil lines where the others will be. I like to do it this way to get the open areas under the claws to be really clean and neat. There are two beaded strips on his shirt along with the beaded neck piece. I’ve been thinking of maybe trying some quill-work this time instead of the beading. We’ll see. The next step will be adding the braids. I want the figure to be complete and painted before the feathers show up as it will become quite unwieldy with all those sticking out everywhere.
Comments welcome.
