Mini GLaDOS Sculpt

Description

I wanted to try starting this project in my head of making a GLaDOS sculpture out of clay. Took a bunch of reference screenshots, gathered up my materials and was raring to go!

Then I sat at my desk for nearly 2 hours straight just fiddling with the clay and wires before finally coming to the extraordinary conclusion that I have no idea how I'm gonna go about sculpting this. xD I've never sculpted anything remotely robotic in my life, let alone a robotic figure at the size I want it to be (I'm aiming for dimensions of 10" x 6" x 6" or something along those lines). A big sculpt is gonna need a lot of details to be more realistic, and my hands are blatantly disobeying my brain when I yell at them to just try it and see what happens. Dx Rawr.

So in a last-ditch effort to make my 2 hours of ruminating appear less pointless, I made a little GLaDOS. She's a little warped cause I accidentally forgot her in the oven for a few minutes Baked, but no cake! :< but oh well. I also need to practice painting with a more steady hand. xP There's another obstacle I need to figure out sooner or later... How am I going to make a display base for the planned big sculpture? It'll look odd for all those wires to just kinda taper off like some kind of tail. o_o;

Sculpted with super sculpey clay, wire, acrylic paints and black thread. About 3 inches tall. The brass hanger's actually supposed to go with a hanging hummingbird figurine, but hey it works for her too!
