This is a sculpture of an older man with his organs spilling out of his split open abdomen area. He is made up of clay, sculpty, ink, and sculpty glaze. I started with making the body, first the head, then the torso and lastly the legs and arms. after the man had finally dried and been fired I set to work covering him in ink. I like using the ink on clay because it is easily absorbed into the clay and gives it more texture and variety in color placement while leaving the rough surface. After he was painted I started to stuff the hole in his abdomen with the sculpty, creating organ-like structures. I glazed the organs with the special sculpty glaze, which drys clear and shiny, however, I choose to take pictures of him with the glaze still wet to give it that puss/slimy like look.

Somethings I wish or want to improve are; His hands in feet, eye coloring, and the base. Since I made the sculpture fairly small it was hard to get the detail in the hands and feet that I would have wanted to make. I also really like when the clay is smooth and little texture, so making fingers and toes it was hard to keep that style that I prefer. For the eyes, I forgot to add the Iris and the highlights in the pupil. Which I would have liked to add to make them less plain and boring. The improvement in the base isn't really a necessity, because I made him be able to sit on a shelf or box of any type. however, I would have liked to have had a plain white or black box, possibly a chair or something that he could have been placed on for the photos to be better in quality, because the box he is on now isn't flat on top so he is a little tilted and it is also close to the same color as his skin.
