Don't know yet. It will definitely be cheaper than the 12". But as of right now, its just an idea. I've got so many projects going, it will be a while before I can start on that one.

They look like they're worth every penny, too. That's really cool, dude. Do you make figurines for a living, or is it just a hobby?

Um... for a living... you could say so. I just go to school and not work. What ever I make and sell is my spending money for gas, food, etc.

I used to go to school for 3d modeling and animation. Then I took a sculpting class and fell in love with clay. I guess it came naturally since I already knew how to build 3d objects... just now in real life instead of a computer.

That's cool that you can do stuff like that. I can draw O.K., but when it comes to actually sculpting things with my hands, the best I can do is a rabbit-cat type creature *lol*.

Well, you only get better with practice. Plus the type of tools you're using makes all the difference. Bare hands are good... but for precision, you need the right tools.

Yeah. I guess Play Dough tools ARE a little sub-par....

Haha!
These are the types of tool I use. [link]

Wow... Well, nice job. Really impressive. I kinda wish I had that tallent. All my skill is into drawings.

If you are good at drawing, you usually would be good at sculpting. The two kind of compliment each other. If you can make a drawing look three-dimensional, then it means you have a good sense of depth.
I've look at your work and I think you should give sculpting a try. I have a strong feeling you would love it.

I've never made vinyl before... but I don't think it can be done at home.
