This is great! The detailing is incredible, seriously. If you don't mind me asking, what materials do you use to make these? I'm not very clued up with sculpting.

Wow
Why is the nail is slightly yellow?

Thanks man! I was trying something new by baking small pieces of clay and then pressing them into the soft clay. I baked the nails a little too long

You mean you baked the nails and stuck them into the clay? good idea.
Yeah the color does look slightly over baked, I've done much worse,
baked a lions head awhile ago that went black, it actually caught on fire, would have helped if I
didn't get mixed up with Fahrenheit vs Degrees Celsius...

Yeah, it looks pretty reasonable for places that are hard to get to and sometimes it just looks a little more realistic. I used to get black/brown marks on my sculpts, but I finally figured out...well, read haha a way around that.

I read heaps on what to do and not to do when baking, the method I "read"
Is to bake them at lower temperatures than suggested, but for longer periods, but
so far I haven't figured out the perfect baking times, isn't longer baking good for strength?
I made a sculpt years ago that we didn't cook for long, and it seemed to get damaged easily.

I bake mine between 200-210 degrees for 10-15 mins for something small like a hand and if the sculpt is about an inch or more thick, I bake for about an hour and a half, but I bake all my sculpts several times as I add pieces, so the time in the oven varies, but as you said...low temp for longer and I've never had a problem. Another trick is to let it cool in the oven with the door closed overnight...that is, if it's a big sculpt. Cuts down on the cracking.

Yep, I always leave them in the oven to cool down now, the greatest tip you can get.
True, I think my sculpts get brown areas due to the elements being close to those parts, need a bigger oven!

This fist is amazing, how did you get it so good? I definitely have to fav this one.

Thanks! It just takes patience and practice. I looked at my own hand and to try to get a realistic look.

I definitely think you did that! Great job with it.

Wow, other than the thumbnail, the hand looks real! Excellent job!

Thanks! The finger nail was baked separately and press into the clay while it was soft. The nail will be painted a slight white-ish color and will be a little more convincing later on.

Haha, very realistic, for some weird reason I thought of John MaCain from Die Hard 4 going, "What the hell is that? You are a wannabe serial killer or somethin'?"

so, one of the first things that came to mind is a dirty word. you need to shut the **** up and get the **** out. your talent is retarted. it might just make me hate you alittle bit
in other words, its in-freaking-credible.

Hey, don't be sippin' on that hateorade! lol Thanks! I guess I'm improving a good bit. This sculpt better be the bomb shit when I'm finished, bc I'm really takin' my time with it and learning a bit along the way.

Another angle, new things to see... honestly if I didn't know this was a model I'd think you were a serial killer. It's really that good man

Wow! lol thanks..I guess I'm getting better. I've still got to add a vein or two on the back part, but I'll wait until I connect it.
