"Killer Furniture" - (SJ21.21)
In 2021 I participated SculptJanuary to force myself to practice sculpting thoroughly.
I was lucky that nothing got in my way that month, so I was able to sculpt all 31 topics. Most in January, the last in early February...
"Killer Furniture" was the topic of SculptJanuary 2021 Day 21.
"Killer Furniture" is known from a kind of nasty horror movies, very unhealthy
for the residents of the house, but very exciting for the moviegoers!...
I tried to give that horror genre a funny twist here...
I first modeled the general shape of the armchair...
...and then compressed it into the shape I needed...
I pushed the dog from Day 7 between the arms of the armchair, as if it was being strangled...
...that leg sticking out to the left definitely had to be removed :-)
Time for a rough color test...
Then I modeled the environment...a floor with tile motif and two walls with wallpaper...very cheap look...
I turned my attention to the leather of the armchair... The real sculpting began!...
This looked much better already...
I wanted more details...a deep groove...
...a lot of rivets...
...and deep furrowed forehead wrinkles (in the armchair) :-)
...and folds all around in the leather...
The shiny metal rivets made it more mundane...and the dog pee made the mood more shabby...
To fill that empty space to the right of the armchair I would make a dog food bowl, with a bone and food scraps...
... but then I got a better idea, I thought ...
..something more interesting than an everyday dog food bowl...
...dog toys... :-)
...such a plastic plucked chicken to mess with... :-)
...that made the atmosphere rawer...more suitable for cheap horror movies...
And I wanted something extra...
...a sweet, colorful hedgehog. Fun to create!
This completed my Day 21 sculpt.
