Random fun with modelling clay: PuPu from Final Fantasy VIII

PuPu the cute alien.

Final Fantasy VIII... What's there not to like? I honestly can't answer that because I'm somewhat a FF8-fanboy, hehe^^'  Okay, so I haven't finished the game yet because I like taking my sweet time doing random and mostly pointless stuff, but that's beside the point. I just managed to finish the alien-sidequest day before yesterday and decided that I have to return to my fresh patch of modelling clay and try to make myself a cute PuPu^^

Having trouble to get a good picture of the little guy XD

He/she turned out really awesome!^^ you might not see it but I made the eyes into swirls like in the game. There were some issues getting the body balanced, my fingers are normal-sized but that's still sort of clumsy when working with something so small, that explains why it was so difficult to make him/her stay upright.

Elixir please! 
I might've ended up making little PuPu a bit overweighted but those elixirs are rich with flavour and energy, right?^^ (Does anyone know if elixir contains any alcohol by the way? XD) He/she's a bit under 7 cm or little bit over 2 1/2 inches in height.

Guiding a spaceship down?
Okay, with this overly cute update, see ya next time, kupo!

Random fun with modelling clay: Vocaloid Hatsune Miku


Popipo (Vegetable Juice) by Miku Hatsune

I hadn't played with modelling clay in such a long time that I just felt compelled to buy some when I saw some in the crafting store I was browsing for the Halloween-themed Housewarming party I held with my roommate. The party was great but I ended up misplacing the clays before the party so I never managed to make anything out of them then^^' But yesterday I finally sort of found them (I moved a box and saw what an idiot I had been for not noticing sooner), right where I had left them... After that I instantly had to start making something, but I didn't have a clue of what I should make. My roommate came to my rescue with her idea of making Miku from the song Popipo... Insane ideas are the best sometimes so I started molding different clays^^ (originally I had planned on making something simple, like a Pokémon or something, but this was just as fun) There's not much to tell about the making-of-progress as most people can make something resembling something else out of clay, like I did! I didn't even attempt on making it big or well detailed, and I was finished in 30 mins or so. Most of the time was spent on wiping my hands clean of the previous coloured clay. You wouldn't want your white clay turning into a gray one just because you just handled black clay, do you?

Right after finishing.

 Found a nice place for it in my bookshelf.

It was really difficult to get a good close-up.

And it should be noted, Miku stands 7cm or almost 3 inches from the ground/shelf XD I'm thinking of making more tiny little thingies in the future^^
