Description

For :iconcatharsisjb: 's marine life contest

This creature is a purple nudibranch or bio name Hypselodoris bullocki apparently. That cool thing on it's back are it's gills - awesome eh? I love these guys, I remember seeing a blue one when I was about 8 holidaying on the aussie coast...

I'm still a bit of a newb with sculpting though, this was pretty tough! Couldn't find a ref pic which showed all of it's mouth bits etc, so I had to improvise with that ^^;

*twitch*

Made from super sculpey firm, foil armature, wire mesh for the frilly bits, and tooth picks for the pointy bits. I used three tools - somehow I managed. Smoothed with turpentine.

Not painted yet, not sure if I want to ruin a good sculpture or not.

Damn- and here I was thinking that sculpting a nudibranch for myself would be original.
Nicely done!
