I did the same thing with the bride's arms and managed to to arrange their arms so they were holding hands. It took several tries to get this right, but I managed to achieve the look I wanted. This is a very sturdy sculpture as well. Not only do the arms have wire armatures but I also pressed them against the bodies wherever possible, forming one solid piece.
The next step was to sculpt the bride's head. Although I've never sculpted a Pandaren before, my years of experience sculpting a variety of animals came into play and I was able to create a female Pandaren in polymer clay without too much difficulty. I also had several good pictures to go by, which always helps.
Here you can see that I've added her hair, put a purple (polymer clay) bow in it, and inserted a pair of hair sticks. I also added gray piping to her bodice and gray details to the shoulders of the dress. The piping helps distinguish the white dress from her white flesh and the shoulder details not only add a bit of color but also help attach the arms even more firmly to her body.
And here you can see what she looks like from the back. I used thin strands of clay to create her hair and styled it into a bun encircled with a gold band. Making hair in this manner does take quite a bit of time, but I just love the way it looks- so much more natural than a sheet of textured clay. At this point the sculpting phase is finished for the bride. Once I'm finished sculpting the groom I'll bake the entire piece then do some detail painting.
In the next post I'll finish sculpting my Pandaren groom and I'll be able to share the final cake topper with you. Thanks for joining me in this creative World of Warcraft wedding cake topper adventure! ;)
