I’ve just put the finishing touches on my custom droplet for the series 2 Launch party on the 6th February, if you’re in the Bristol area you should come down and check it out! The Droplet toy itself is very simple so it has a lot of scope for customising and I had a lot of fun making this little guy. I’ve seen a few sneaky pictures of how they’re doing up the gallery on Gav’s twitter, I’m really looking forward to meeting all the other artists and seeing how they’ve customised their Droplets.
.
He stands on his own and for the show he’ll be sitting on a mirror so you can see all the detail underneath. It took forever to sculpt all the suckers so i want to show them off! The tentacles have a wire armature inside and were sculpted in polymer clay over the top. See his progress here and here
.
Some close ups of the tentacles and suckers. You can just make out the blue/pink pearlescent powder in the lacquer.

For size reference, this is how big he is. I’m feeling quite sad ow that i have to pack him in a box for his adventure to Bristol, but i’m sure he’ll have lots of fun with the other Droplets :)
