xenafox has made some very cute little Blades of Glory characters wearing all manner of movie outfits, so I was inspired to make Chazz in his Grublets outfit.
I think she's using some sort of clay that you bake, but alas, I am lazy and I used Crayola Model Magic (or something like that), which is a no bake product. it's also amazingly easy to work with. It comes in lots of colours, but none of them subtle, so I used kid tempura paint and sparkly glue for the evil wizard costume.
And true to Xena's tradition, I gave him very generous 'bits' under his bathrobe! :D
I'm not happy with how his face turned out ( kind of like those shrunken apple people). :( I used a cheap doll for the main form, but cut off her hair and gave her a fat belly (and an even bigger head). As you might notice, i used some of the left-over doll hair on his chest! :D
I wanted to make the mask so it would come on and off, and had originally wanted him to be able to hold it in his hands, but I made it WAY too big, and his teeny little doll hands DEF would not do! The orginal doll was practically a midget, the way the arms and legs were trunciated, and the head was massive.
I used an orange as a base for the form of it, and then, of course, couldn't get the damn thing out, and made a horrific mess, smearing my washable paint and smushable clay with drippy, pulpy orange chunks.
And here's the finished product with the mask on. I should have made a sash for around his waist, but I didn't get around to it.
As an added bonus, my children think it is excessively creepy, and will probably have nightmares from it.

And the clothing is only nice because it was SIMPLE!
And he's yours, BTW. I only made him so I could send him to you! (and you can look at his bits ALL you want! :D )
I didn't put any hair down there though ... ;p
