Description
Well, since I'm finally back to school, summer term that is, I was able to continue working on Hellboy. I was having some real trouble with the arm about 3 weeks ago, his stone hand was just too heavy. But after several attempts of using different softer and drier clay and supports I was able to get the arm to stay put and not crack, break, rip and eventually fall. Heh.I'm still working on it of course and his front certainly needs the most of the work. But I'm a lot more pleased with how it's coming along now.
That last shot of the bust with the figurine was so that you guys can get a point of reference for how big Hellboy is, the figurine is 7 inches tall. Enjoy.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I use ball clay, its mostly used for pottery. Let me rephrase that, its just slightly better suited for pottery but you can pretty much do anything with it.
