Description **Raichu is available in my Etsy shop here: [link] **

So, I realized a while back that I had never sculpted a Raichu before! I've always been a fan of Raichu, so I have no idea how that happened. XD So of course I had to rectify this situation right away. While looking through reference photos for Raichu, I came across the awesome card art for Lt. Surge's Raichu([link] ) and knew that I had to try a similar pose. It was quite a challenge to create on such a small scale(I had to make the tiniest full wire armature I've ever made!), but I think the end result looks pretty neat!

Raichu measures 2.5in tall. He is made from a mixture of Super Sculpey/Sculpey Firm polymer clay over a foil armature, painted with acrylics and sealed with a gloss finish. He is mounted on a tiny wooden base that has been painted and glazed.

Apparently your reference link is "403 Forbidden".
Does the armature continue into the base from his foot?

Weird, the link works fine for me! It's just an image from Bulbapedia.

Yep, the armature does go all the way from the bottom of the foot through the base to keep him supported.
