Now accepting swear words as compliments.

This is Kato Polyclay which is smooth and almost waxy in appearance. And if you don't know who Schmendrick is I sentance you to watch The Last Unicorn and Return of the Incredible Hulk until you cry.

sweet! His face has a lot of character and I like how you did the hair.

Great work! That material looks really interesting!

Thanks

That's the beige flesh color of a brand of clay called Kato Polyclay, it's different form other polymer clays I've used and comes out waxy looking. You can take pieces away easier than adding, if that makes sense. I want to get some more and see how well it does for fingers.

You captured his likeable awkwardness. <3

Wait...he's in the Incredible Hulk? 0_o

I used a face model by the name of Steve Levitt, wanted to make a head of him anyway, who has an uncanny resemblance to the cartoon. I can do what I can do, it's just easier if I see it.

I've always (since your first posted attempts) loved the way you do molded hair. My mind just doesn't work that way so I could probably never sculpt hair like you do.

That's great! It's a great sculpting job, too.

(But durn it, I wish unicorns were real, too. lol)

The secret to this hair is in Play-Doh spaghetti hair and making clay snakes. After that it's my secret. The Kato's lovely stretch made rolling easy.

A lot of it comes from old fashioned practice. I've only used a few anatomy books, one on carving one on sculpting, and I'll usually draw my peoples first to get familiar with them.
