Fear Dearg, Fir Darrig

Description

The entirety of the sculpt is not yet completed but the face and head are about as far along as they are going to get (as far as I can see right now). This is the Fear Dearg, a word that means "red man" in Irish Gaelic and aptly describes the creatures, as their favorite color and the color with which they prefer to clothe and adorn themselves is red. They are little fae creatures from Ireland (hence the name) who delight in tricks and pranks of a rather gruesome nature (another source of their favorite color and their joy - blood), though they are loyal and defensive of "property" if respected and demands are met. Kinda like little terrorists, and indeed, this one appears to be plotting some unpleasant deed to perpretrate against some unsuspecting, disrespectful soul.
This one is about 6" tall. There wll be nicer photos soon.

Materials for sculpture proper: Custom mix of polymer clays (Sculpey, Kato, Premo), genesis "oil" paints, glass eyes, wire (earring), hand-dyed wool.

Materials for body: bendable wire (skeleton), polyester batting "flesh", various fabrics for clothing.
