Ok. Now it’s finished

I posted what I thought was the final version of this yesterday, but even as I was posting it I was uncomfortable with how it looked more like Toy Story’s Woody than I liked.

But this is done now.

What type of clay to use?

What type of clay should I use for making figurines? I want to make pet replica statues/figurines but I’m not sure what kind of clay I should use or what brand to look for.

I have experience sculpting but only with ceramics or cheap air dry clay that always cracks and isn’t very durable. I have also used polymer clay but it doesn’t blend the way I need it to for what I’m making (at least in my experience).

I’m thinking there must be a go to brand for air dry clays?? Maybe I should go the route of making molds with my sculptures for the final product rather than painting and selling the sculpture itself? Idk give me advice

Super beginner sculptor!

Scrolling through all the beautiful work on this sub makes me feel like I'm probably out of place 😅 but I recently got into sculpting since I started losing mobility in my legs as something to focus on and I've been loving it so far. My goal is to one day be able to sculpt cartoon/anime figurines, and this is the first stylized leg I've ever attempted! It's definitely not the best thing out there but I feel proud and I know I'll get better with practice. Any anatomy advice for super baby beginners would be very appreciated.

My first male torso, pretty alright!

I'm the one that posted the penis, foot, and nose the other day.

Tried my hand at making a male torso and it was alright. Pecs too bubbly and abs are confusing as holy hell, was definitely challenging.

Qin Warrior

My son has a Chinese girlfriend. Her parents came over from China to visit the U.K. so I made this for her father as a gift. It was a good excuse to have a go a larger figure than I normally do. I found painting a larger figure more of a challenge than I was expecting.

Small figure - 28mm Prussian

This is the kind of thing I normally do, 28mm figures for wargaming, before 3D printing came along, they were all done by hand.

This is a Prussian (Franco Prussian War)

Initially using a wire armature and Milliput for strength then skinning over with greenstuff.

The musket was pre cast in this instance but was originally carved from plastic and sent off for casting coming back in pewter as you see it here.

Weapons and equipment are usually done first to save repetition.

Epoxy pouring into dirt?

Hi all. I'm wanting to make a series or scriptures, approximately 2-3 feet and organic shapes, that sit in the ground. I'm trying to do this as affordably as possible. Is it possible to dig holes in the ground, shape them with sand and then pour epoxy directly into them? Or should I make the shapes first out of...paper mache? Make a silicone mold and then pour epoxy into that?
