This is after about a weeks work or so, anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour, of adding clay. Because I kept turning him over in my hands the black smeared into the white a bit, but the shape is starting to come together.
This is a pretty good profile shot. The sword is only loosely placed in his hand. The weight is good enough that I can probably point it forward when I get to that point.
This is T from the back. I have not defined any muscle tissue yet, this is just roughing in the black.
From the back he is starting to look like a cat. His feet still seem huge to me though.
The goggles are only roughed in foil at this stage and might be subject to change. They are only placed on the head, not pinned or attached.

After adding some pins to hold in the last loose bits of foil and some final tweaking, it was time to add clay! Now, like an idiot, I started with the white. I should have started with the black and added white later. I was more concerned with the weight than I was the material, so the white will have to be addressed in the future.
His feet feel like they got huge at this stage, but I stuck to my model sheet. His tail is at a good angle. All dtail is only roughed in at this point.
A shot from the side and the tuxedo belly of Captain T.
Another shot from the back of the tail twist counter to the action line of his body.
T looking straight on. I had moved his arm so they lined up.
