Homestuck Figurine - John's Wise Guy Slime Suit

I've been reading MSPaintAdventures for awhile now, after my boyfriend introduced me to it (some of the stories were used in the MIT Mystery Hunt awhile ago). And we've been reading and discussing the current ongoing story, Homestuck.

Since John is his favorite character, I decided it might be fun to make him a little clay figurine of John. So, here's John in his Wise Guy Slime Suit (my boyfriend requested this outfit) and his awesome Pogohammer!!



John

I sculpted him out of white polymer clay. I basically started off with a cylinder-ish shape for his body and a sphere for his head, then added pants and jacket in separate pieces, and then added extra things for his hair shape. Here is the figure pre-paint:



Aaaand here he is after painting! For awhile he looked like a derpy Dracula (I think it's the hair/head).



Pogohammer

I actually didn't take a pre-paint photo of this T_T However, it was also made out of white polymer clay, with coiled jewelry wire for the springs (so yes, those are in fact actual miniature springs). The slug was made as a separate piece and then glued on after everything was painted.





And here's John together with his Pogohammer!





They even stand up!!





This was a lot of fun to make, and I'm totally considering making figurines of other characters so the boyfriend can have a whole set ^o^
