This figure was my first successful experiment in making an armature to sculpt around. Whenever I'd try to make a figure before, I'd have to build them short and with thick legs. If I made them too large, they'd start collapsing under their weight.
So for a while I played around with making a skeleton I could build on that would still be posable until the time I baked the figure and resembled a human skelton as closely as possible, and is cheap and easy to make. This attempt was copper wire and bamboo skewers. Thie wire wraps around pieces of skewer to make nice possable joints.
Although, this one didn't work quiet perfectly as the armature cause one arm to crack.
