hiii i found u thru ur pretty mystical unicorn sculpt IM OBSESSED W UR TALENT???? r they all purely clay? dyou put them in the oven? how long do they take? which ones your fave!!!!
AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! ;u;
They're not purely clay! In order to get them to stand like that, I have to give them a structure underneath. Here's the armature of something I'm working on rn:
I use wire underneath and cover it with aluminum foil/masking tape, which gives the clay a surface to stick on and adds padding to make them lighter!
They do get put in the oven! They're made out of polymer clay (Fimo Professional) which is an oven bake clay and my favorite type to use. (It might be smarter to use air dry clay tho since it's very scary if they end up tipping over in the oven, buuut I'm impatient when it comes to drying times and such efjdch)
Depending on the size/detail, they usually take between 15-25 hours! The majority of that time is spent sculpting the fur and painting.
And ouughh my favorite,,, That's difficult ,,, I'd say this guy that I made a year ago
I made this guy for a college final!! While he's a very old piece and pretty lumpy, I really like it since it feels like it has more character compared to the rest of my work. He's also 3x bigger than the rest of my stuff, and while that was a nightmare to make I love having just Some Huge Guy on my shelf. I want to try doing more scary stuff some time!
