Eva Funderburgh:
Just made a first rough maquette for a 4ft tall piece I'm going to try and make for NCECA. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
The scale model is all roughed out. The final goal is 4ft or so. I'm nuts!
Eva Funderburgh:
Decided the model beast needed longer legs, and now it looks like he's wearing socks! #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
The start of the monster beast - one 15" pinch pot. Perhaps punch pot would be more accurate.
Eva Funderburgh:
Not totally sold on using coils to build the monster beast. Might not be patient enough. I'll give it two more coils
Eva Funderburgh:
@CreturFetur @allison_sommers ha! Novices!
Eva Funderburgh:
I'm going to let the two halves set up a bit more, then set up a crazy hoist system for lowering on the top. Epic! #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Welp, here goes nothing! #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Success! Now to start healing up that seam.
Eva Funderburgh:
That's no moon!! (credit to Greg Howard for being the first to make that joke) #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Turns out switching from working 2lb critters to 30lb ginormous ones will lead to sore muscles. Attaching the legs! #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
A garden of leg segments. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Progress! The beast's head and tail are on, legs are roughed out, and buildings are being started. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Scale model beast in the forest of legs. #fb. Four main legs constructed, with three swap-out legs mostly done.
Eva Funderburgh:
Balancing the legs on big beastie. They'll be fired separately, in segments. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Fine tuning the big guy's belly, legs, and face in preparation for flipping him back over and starting the city.
Eva Funderburgh:
Giant hollow beast... I'm preparing to attach the first city pod, but man it looks cool like this. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Lots of progress on the big beast, but most doesn't show. Started 3 city pods, thinned the walls some, so forth.
Eva Funderburgh:
Evidentially epic sculpting generates epic mess. Might be due for a clean up and wet vac soon. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Roughing out the city pods. They're stuck on with water for now, so I have to make sure not to knock them off.
Eva Funderburgh:
Late night in the studio but I'm pleased with the progress. Excited to see it develop tomorrow.
Eva Funderburgh:
Most of the building pods are done for the big beast. Now's the time to switch to details and textures.

Eva Funderburgh:
Working away on the bug guy, adding texture and detail. #wip #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Almost done. I'm feeling really happy about this guy. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Signed and completed. Not shown: 2.5' of legs, lots of fabric additions, and a small swarm of fliers surrounding it.
Eva Funderburgh:
Starting the tiny swarm of flying beasts that will be surrounding the big guy. #fb #wip
Eva Funderburgh:
Hooboy. Giant beast and all its leg segments are now loaded safely into the bisque kiln. Fingers crossed. #fb
Eva Funderburgh:
Starting to install the swarm of fliers
