Sculpey Ahoy
polycounter lvl 18
I was inspired by Jesse's thread a while back to have a go at doing some of my own work with Sculpey.
My first attempt complete that I made without any proper tools, complete with slightly whack proportions and crappy, patchy ink wash. Also dust.
Its not terribly refined because I wasn't entirely sure that the entire thing wasn't going to explode or crack into pieces.
Progress shot of my second model. Everything below the neck is very, very unfinished.

Looking pretty nice, Jackablade.

Seantree, Its a little of both really. I usually block in the basic shape and then go backwards and forwards adding and subtracting clay until I get something that looks nice.
This guy is the mascot (kinda) for the studio that I worked at until recently.
I made a few mistakes with this guy resulting in a somewhat crude sculpt, but overall I'm reasonably happy.
I had planned to paint on a green oxidized patina to make it look like weathered bronze, but in the end I wimped out and left it at the simple metal. I kinda lost some of the colour detail out of the paint when I was photographing. There's more variation to it than there initially appears.
Anyway, onward and upward eh.
