Aizon the Chinese Crested Dog
Upholstery foam, faux fur, yarn, foam, paint, mesh
14x10
For this character, I wanted him to resemble traits of the Chinese Crested dog. Ways of this are shown through the blue long fur on his paws, the fur wig on his head, the blind eye showing they have eye problems, and finally the light blue to show they are friendly dogs. To sculpt the base of the head, I carved pieces of upholstery foam and glued them together to create a form. Then, I put brown faux fur over to create a texture and also make it look like a dog. For the hair, I used blue yarn and bundled strands together and tied a knot to create the look of it. Finally, for detailing I used a dry brush technique with acrylic paint.
