And here's a shot of what he looks like from behind. I textured the eyebrows, hair, and beard and gave him a topknot as well.
After a final smoothing the wedding cake topper was ready to be baked. I baked this one all in one shot, rather than doing several short bakes before the final longer bake. When I'm working with white clay I try to just do one bake since the clay can sometimes darken with multiple bakes. And since I used foil armatures to fill the larger parts, rather than solid clay, baking the piece for an hour and letting it cool in the oven was completely sufficient. After the sculpture was cooled I mixed pearlizing medium with high gloss glaze to add a pretty shimmer to the bride's dress.
I used acrylic paint to add the gray stripes under her eyes and painted her nose and both their mouths with black acrylic paint. I also added shine to their eyes and noses with a coat of high gloss glaze. The final touch was to seal the entire piece with several layers of matte glaze. This helps protect the sculpture and makes it easier to clean.
This wedding cake topper measures about 4 1/2 inches wide and 6 inches tall and is actually quite lightweight, especially considering that Pandaren are very solid, thick creatures.
I'm very happy with the way this piece turned out and I hope to get the chance to sculpt more Pandaren, as well as other World of Warcraft characters, in the future. I really enjoy creating wedding cake toppers because a wedding is such a special event, and the cake topper is a lasting reminder of that very important day in a couple's life. And don't forget, I'll sculpt just about any character you've got pictures of, so just contact me at macreativecritters@gmail.com if you'd like me to create a customized cake topper for your wedding, anniversary, birthday, or other celebration.
Thanks for following another creative adventure with me!
