ohhh I can sooooo imagine how much work that was exspecially those color blendings with clay O.o
just one question: have you done the "mixed" colors with just "intuition" how the color should look or was it measured like 1:3 ratio for that color and 1:2 for another one and so on? XD

Wow, no pant at all? Amazing, real talent here. Im quite envious haha! Im pretty curious though, how do you do it? Like, decided what clay to use for which shades, keeping the sclulptures form while keeping colors smooth, ect. Keep up the great work!

I've discovered I can get over 4000 shades of clay out of the 30 original colors. It takes a long time, but the results is really high def.....thanks for asking, jss (call me jack)

I'm so impressed you got clay to do this, blending the colors so well, the whiskers are always a pain, and horns. How do you get it to work so well.
