Here we go. Work in progress. About an hour and a half into painting. Not even close to finished yet. Well, maybe close-ish, yeah? Still need to do his bowtie and jacket and whatnot. I had myself a good chuckle when I realized that there's a picture of me wearing almost exactly this outfit. Gotta track that one down. Good stuff. So tired. Must sleep.
OK. Sculpting portion of the Har Har is complete. Next needs prime and paint. I decided to give him a heringbone jacket. Stupid idea. That meant I had to herringbone the WHOLE jacket. I really like his pocket square, though. How you like me now?
So, a few weeks ago I spent the weekend with a pug who enjoys the nickname "Har Har," for the snorting noises she makes when she breathes. This is because pugs are a congenital birth defect that we (we here meaning human beings) have purposely, selectively bred in otherwise perfectly healthy animals. Anyhouse, I kept staring at this freak monster's sausage face, and was inspired. I sculpted up a thing that was heavily influenced by this grotesque nugget's puss, and it turned into kind of a professor. I'm tentatively giving this one the name Harvard Harrigan, in honor of the Har Har. Work in Progress. Sculpey over wire. Check it out!
