Fancy Rat sculpture rex ratby *philosophyfox

Artisan Crafts / Ceramics, Pottery & Clay / Ornaments & Objects

This hunky chap was a long awaited commission! He'd been sat half painted on my shelf for quite some time after finishing sculpting him.

He is a mink rat, but he is a rather browny mink - rather than the obvious blue sheen. I don't know much about rat varieties, I am slowly learning there is more than simply brown, black and white though!

I am quite happy with this one, but I have noticed I need to vastly improve my feet, making them more organic. It was also rather hard getting his 'rolls' in without insulting his memory.

Polymer clay over a wire and foil armature. Painted with acrylics and sealed with Citadel Purity Seal.

Commissions of 5-7 inch rats like this chap start at £105 GBP

He is gorgeous. I just wanna pet him.

The eyes and fur texture are brilliant.

Feet are one of the hardest things for me. They either look too cartoon simple or turn into weird monkey feet.
