Flaming Sphere Green

Not a terribly complicated sculpture...the trick was simply to "think like fire". I just kept the image of crackling campfires in my head as I was sculpting to try to capture the feel of the jumping flames, and imagine what they might look like as a rolling ball.

The other thing to note is that I actually very carefully sculpted the tab on the bottom of the sphere, so that it pretty much perfectly fits into the slotta base.

This one here was a failed experiment. The idea was to sculpt a larger fireball over the first one, and then actually cast it around the smaller painted fireball using translucent plastic. It sounds cool and all, but it didn't look good, and on it's own, this fireball really looks more like a giant acorn.
