Description
Some updates. Finished adding the linings and details on his body and fingers. Also finished work on the Infinity Gauntlet. Started working on the base.Also fixed his right arm. I didn't notice earlier that it was twisted all wrong (biceps were facing upwards, not sideways).

It's part coincidental and part on purpose. I ran out of the dark clay I use and then I found a cheaper locally made clay, turns out it was whiter. So I decided to make things clean by finishing the body with the remaining dark clay, then the other parts with the new white clay.

wow how do you make the arms and legs without breaking it? and do you have a kiln to bake it in or do you air dry it?

There are armature wires underneath to keep things steady. No need to bake this as I'm making a mold then cast a resin statue. After which I can melt the clay and reuse it for a different sculpt

wow cool! i wish i could do that but i dont know how to use armatures and i have no room... how do you make a mold and cast a statue? i know you fill the mold in with something but how does resin work?

Depends, some are viscous so they're poured into the mold to make a solid cast. Some, like what I use, is thick like toothpaste and is brushed along the walls of the mold to make a hollow cast.

nice! will the end result be plastic, metal, or some other material?

Resin is kind of like a breakable plastic, or something similar to ceramic. Kinda hard to explain
