Manananggal

-
After finishing my capstone and I am eager to start looking at something new, and so a friend and I have decided to tackle the manananggal. A Philippine creature that can look human but can detach it's upper body from the lower. We're both planning on creating one with something that ties them together.

My friend is still learning the basics so I suggested we just work on the upper part of the bodies. Pretty neat since the creature has a separate lower part that we can create later once she gets the hang of it.

For the last year I have been hard at work at my current job. I'm constantly around kids and while it may be fun at times, it is extremely exhausting! I do try and get some creativity out now and then but it has been difficult. I've found a joy in reading a chapter or two of a book before bed. While I have always been a reader, I have found myself reading more in the past year than ever before. A quick trip to the library after work has been quite the joy! Though I have mostly been into superhero/villain novels such as Victious. I haven't been completely still when it comes to creating. There has been a new short story page added to my blog!  I had a necklace and broach 3D printed from Persona 5 when I found that I couldn't easily craft it from scratch. I sculpted a cat and then adopted a cat not long after! I would say I wasn't too far off the mark with it's proportions as my cat VooDoo would show. Then there were a few sketches. I am still h

I haven't had much time but I was able to retopo the base to our little project. There are some things to address such as her hands. We haven't decided if we want to make them human, claws, or talons. The same goes with her facial features and ears. Is she going to have a human face or be part animal? That's why she sort of has a floating detached face.
