MarkNewman In reply to SimplyTiffany [2008-12-21 18:13:19 +0000 UTC]

it's around 1/6 scale.
If she was standing up she'd be around 10" tall.

Wow. I'm massively impressed. Another question-what do you make these out of? Is it like a chunk of rock that you make into figures, or what?

I use clay. This one was sculpted in Super sculpey. A polyper clay.

Ah! I still find it amazing how detailed you make your sculptures. Just looking at it makes you feel like you've seen into their personality.

HellBlazer003 [2008-12-04 07:05:12 +0000 UTC]

How many hours did it take to create this? How difficult was it to create this sculpture with sculpty? did you layer it by cooking it then apply more sculpty to the hardened surface? Or did you just go straight to sculpting one big block of sculpty? So many questions. But I will have to say that you put me to shame with my simple design and sculptures.
