This figure was created as an entry for a challenge at Brandon and Jarrod Shiflett's online sculpting forum. The object of said contest was to sculpt/model an interpretation of their original character, Chloe: Aviator For Hire. As can be expected, I went the mini action figure route with my contribution to the event. The figure is not painted (other than a light grey base coat) because that's what the rules called for in terms of presentation for judging.

If you're interested in learning more, you can:

Materials:
Newsprint, tissue paper, white glue, hot glue, super glue, wire twist ties, and acrylic paint.

Dimensions:
[NOTE: Due to the articulation, these values will vary depending on how the joints are positioned;
the numbers given assume a neutral standing pose.]
3.3 cm/1.3 in. x 7.0 cm/2.8 in. (widest point x highest point)

Articulation:
Eighteen points: Neck (2); wings (2); shoulders (2); elbows (2); wrists (2); pistol holster; teddy bear (the previous two exist to facilitate greater range of movement in the legs, which they would obstruct if they were immobile); hips (2); knees (2); and ankles (2).

Two weeks: February 1-3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 19-21, 23-25 (2010).

I was fortunate enough to place third in the contest (Thanks, Brandon & Jarrod!!!), here's my prize, which I received in the mail on 3/24/10: An autographed Chloe: Aviator For Hire art print/poster by MissMonster, aftermarked with an original Chloe drawing by her in the lower right corner. The Shiflett Bros. also included a cool, full-color, promotional booklet of their work as well.

For comparison purposes, below is a photo (from their web site) of the original Chloe: Aviator For Hire figure, sculpted/created by Brandon and Jarrod Shiflett:

•   Shiflett Brothers web site.
•   Shiflett Brothers online store (if you're interested in purchasing a model kit of Chloe, one of their other pieces, or an art print).
•   3Demonis painted Chloe gallery (I made extensive use of the multiple-angle-view photos found here as a visual aid while I sculpted my version).
