Oh my god. :DDDDD This is totally amazing. They're so in-character and adorable! I love their posing so much, and Lacey's intent little face, and just . . . god, gorgeous overall work, I am in awe.

Wow. I don't know the fandom, but their pose is great. It looks spontaneous and life-like, like a snapshot, even with the clay figures. The BFF sentiment comes through well.

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, I'm glad that BFF-ness came through! Thank you!

OH MY GOD. OH MY *GOD*. WAIT HOLD ON WHERE'S THE SPARKLY TEXT.

THIS IS THE BEST.

Thank you so much, Mystery Artist, and I would totally, totally love to have this on my shelf so I can stare at it in awe, possibly forever. God, everything about this. The pose. The little glasses. The ice cream tub. It's just so amazing and it sums up everything I love about their friendship, and seriously, thank you a billion times.

JSYK, after posting this comment, I had to scroll up again to make sure that it was actually a gift for me, because I totally could not actually process that I'd gotten anything this awesome. TRUE STORY.

I love this! It's so joyful and lively, just -- the poses, the vibrant colours, their faces! And the detail, wow. (Those glasses!) Great work!

(... I really have to get around to watching this show. :x)

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
You should totally watch the show! It's really wonderful. Thank you for your lovely comment!

This is wonderful, adorable and in character, the sense of life and story would be good enough in a picture but is remarkable for a sculpture (mine never come out like that :))

After the reveal I would be curious to know what materials you used.

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for your lovely comment! :D

I used Super Sculpey Firm with a bit of wire and foil for the sofa. It's painted with acrylic.

AHHHH!!! SO CUTE!!! No idea about the fandom, but this is such an adorable, well-crafted sculpture that I don't need to! Really lovely!

Thank you! :D

This is SO ADORABLE! I love their little faces so much, and their beautiful limbs and folds of cloth. So delightful and happy and full of joy!

Thank you so much!

[identity profile] dualbunny.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Adorable! Their poses are so natural and life-like, and I love how you've done the fabric of their clothes! :D

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, I'm so glad the poses work! I had to pose myself to make sure it would look natural. Thank you for your lovely comment!

[identity profile] stealstheashes.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh this is AWESOME. I love how you've captured Wendy and Lacey and all the tiny details and the sense of motion in the sculpture.

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
A sense of motion is always something I'm working to improve upon. I'm glad it worked for you. Thank you!

Aww, such a lovely modelling work! :D

Thank you! :D

[identity profile] karasu-hime.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow! This is really something to behold. I like the movement captured in the piece and the facial expressions.
wonderful!

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so glad the movement and the facial expression worked. Those are some of the hardest parts for me. Thank you!

[identity profile] aybara-max.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
WOW, this is amazing :D The sculpture itself is a perfectly captured story, and the photos you chose also told a slowly revealed story. The faces/expressions are so cute, and the posing is excellent, so playful ^_^ Especially impressed by the wire glasses, so cool!

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
The story telling with the photo were a last minute idea. I'm so glad it worked out! Making miniature glass are really hard. After several attempts, this was the one that turned out alright. Thank you for your lovely comment!

[identity profile] dun.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Such a lovely moment captured between the two characters! Wonderfully done!

:D Thank you so much!

[identity profile] 22by7.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS IS THE BEST EVER
I love the tension in it, it's so LIVELY
I love how it tells a little story by itself
I LOVE THE COLOURS
eeeee

This is just fantastic. So damn cute! You did a fantastic job of posing and getting the body language across, these things can so easily look really stiff. Great job Mystery Artist!

[identity profile] bluelittlepig.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I wanted to create something that had movement. I'm so glad that this worked for you. Thank you!

[identity profile] dramedy.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
hahah this is so ADORABLE! and well crafted. It obvs. took loads of time, and it works so well!! <3! WELL DONE! :D
