World of Warcraft Orc Warlock

My sister asked me to make this piece for her.

I worked from a few screen shots of her WoW character and ended up with this rather adorable little orc.

I'm not much for measurements, especially since they'll change depending on how big you'd like your project to be anyway. I used Sculpey III and FIMO soft for this project.







I started with a ball of light green clay and added beads for the eyes. I set that aside and started working on a basic body frame.










I put a few very small snakes of color together and rolled them flat to get the striped effect and put that around the torso. Some flattened deep red clay became the bottom of the robes and I added another striped piece over that, longer in the back than in the front. A piece of deep red clay became the tabbard (put this piece on the front and back) and a pretty terrible little "skull" was added to the bottom of the tabbard. Add a silver belt and silver outlining at the bottom.





The arms were two snakes of light green. I wrapped some of the scraps left over from my striped clay around the tops and then used thin snakes of silver and black for the greaves.

The ears were flattened tear drop shapes. The hair is two fat snakes with one end smaller than the other. Two white snakes are wrapped around the smaller end (don't forget to texture the hair) and attach to the head.






A silver snake and a flattened diamond make the circlet. The shoulder pads were made using six flattened tear drop shapes (three on each side). Then two snakes (one brown and one copper) were attached via the back and shaped to point upward.

The little blue voidwalker is almost self explanatory. Blue triangle, work the end into a snake to curl around the bottom. Attach arms and head.







The staff was made using a toothpick. I wrapped a bit of translucent clay around it near the tops and bottom and then made the top and bottom pieces of the staff out of translucent clay. I used mica powder to paint the clay the appropriate color.

Baked for 20 minutes at 275. Don't forget to glaze anything you put mica powders on to avoid smudging.
