Thinking reflection

It was a struggle for me to come up with an idea on what kind of character I would make for this project. I bounced around a lot of ideas to people around me, and when I landed on princess bubblegum they said I should go for it. I chose to make her child form as I thought it would be easier to render because her dress was a stable, flat base. I knew before I had started that her head would be too heavy for her body to hold on its own, so I made a divot in the neck and pieced it together like a puzzle for extra stability. I think if I ever were to do this project again, I would be more careful creating her head and use a couple extra stability strategies to prevent her head from falling off. I faced a couple problems while making her too. Her head fell off not once, but twice, her crown had broken off, and the final glaze turned out to be peeling for some odd reason which was unfixable. Overall, I had a lot of fun doing this project and I would definitely do it again.
