Description
Next in line of the Dreamweaver series!Meet Jai, the Jackalope Dreamweaver. Mix of jack rabbit and impala, with the signature dreamcatcher woven between his larger pair of horns.
I'm pretty happy with this guy, his head is a little smaller than I would like but I'm still learning. Quite the long body too, although that was intentional. The horns are brushed lightly with red and green iridescent pigments, and the brown on the body has a metallic copper effect.
There are some alternate views and close-ups here:
Jai is also for sale! $120 + S&H ($7 to Canada, $12 elsewhere)
SOLD
Enjoy!

aww thank you so much! <3
do you know theΒ analogue of this clay? this one is too expensive for me 'cause of shipping from USA :Ρ
π: 0 β©: 1
Do you mean a similar clay? I found my box of clay in a local art supply store, so perhaps if you have some stores near you. There are other types of clay, but this stuff seems to be some of the best.

1. i live in russia
2. i live in small town
Savvy?
so, here we haven't that clay.. only fima, but it's not what i need. i searched for long time clay like this for tiny details

Ah I see, can be tricky living in small towns, away from all the awesome art supplies! D:
Where I live I can buy that same box of clay, but it costs twice as much as the price on eBay.

looks like i haven't the other choise.. my birthday is soon, so may be i'll ask parents to buy this clay on ebay P:
anyway thanks you!

Its an awesome clay, holds it detail well, pretty strong, and lightweight. And it can be baked in a normal kitchen oven. Wish you luck!
π: 0 β©: 1
baked?
i thought it would dry after some hours..
i had a bad expiriense with baked clay >;D
π: 0 β©: 1
This clay that we are talking about is a bake clay. As long as you take precautions (like bulk out the sculpture with aluminum foil, make sure the clay isn't too thick, etc) you can avoid cracks and exploding sculptures.
If you are looking for air-dry clays though, there are tons out there. I just prefer the bake clays
π: 0 β©: 1
cracks, explosions.. nope, my clay was justΒ burnt))
heeeey can you tell me the names of air-dry clays but with the same function? i mean, to do tiny details
may be i'll find on ebay then
i just don't know which of them have that function
π: 0 β©: 1
My pieces burn sometimes too, but I just paint over it and you can't even tell. C:
The only air-dry clay I've worked with is DAS clay (eBay link --> www.ebay.ca/itm/Das-Air-Dry-Cl⦠)
I'm not too fond of it, I prefer the oven bake clay but its all up to personal preference.
Orrrr you can also try making a type of clay, cold porcelain, which is also air-dry. I haven't tried it yet, but sounds cool to be able to make your own. Not too sure how well it holds up to tiny details though.

and what do you put inside of sculputers? i thought, it can't be all out of clay, 'cause bowels can be rawΒ
Β ooh i have this DAS clay, and i'm notΒ Β fond of it too. such a hell material
cold porcelain.. no, i'm not sure
aah looks like i'm gonna buy the super sculpey P:

I always use wire to build an armature, so like the skeleton of the creature, and then cover it with aluminum foil. That way its stronger, it won't explode when you bake it (or the clay won't take as long to dry), and you use a lot less clay. And its lighter.
I think you should definitely go with the Super Sculpey, its my favorite! C:

aluminium foil.. i must try that :Π· before i used only an armature
today i found in magazine Sculpey III (oven-bake clay)
have you ever used this one?
π: 0 β©: 1
When I was younger I used some of the Sculpey III, but not for serious sculpting. As far as I know, its similar quality to Super Sculpey, but it usually comes in smaller blocks with fancy colours. I think its mostly intended for when you aren't going to paint the sculpture, you just use coloured clay.

i found medium white block of this clay and i wonder if i can do something like that creaturesfromel.deviantart.com⦠with this clay :з
by the way what do you use for coloring? and do you use any lacquer?
π: 0 β©: 1
*creaturesfromel (which is my favorite artist on the site <3) uses air-dry clay, although I have no idea what type. I've never seen an air-dry clay that can achieve stuff like she can, amazing.
But the oven-bake clays should be able to achieve similar results, just need to bake it. C:
I just paint all my sculptures with acrylic paints, the same kinds I do all my paintings with. And then I just spray it with a matte fixative spray to seal it off. But if you want them to be shiny, there are tons of products out there.

ooh i lode her works too!
she inpired me :3Β
i bought sculpey III and it's fantastic! it's much better than DAS clay
oww looks like i need to but this spray...
aand my friend from other city said, that they have super sculpey o: can't wait to buy one
aaand what exactly a difference between Super Sculpey and Sculpey III?
π: 0 β©: 1
What spray do you need?
I think Sculpey III and Super sculpey are pretty similar. Super sculpey seems to only come in larger boxes of flesh colour (maybe there are others), and I think Sculpey III comes in smaller blocks but tons of different colours.

matte i think..
hm may be i don't need super sculpey then o:

I love how you went the "road less traveled" and did more of the "lope" aspect of the Jackalope! He's so cool looking, and the horns with the weaving just adds to it.

Thanks! Sometimes it pays off to take the road less traveled.

This has been moved to our Featured folder at Creatures-of-Clay! Brilliant work. Congratulations!

This is so wonderful! As I am sure you can imagine I am just in love with him! He is incredible!
The length of the body is gorgeous, it adds a surreal touch yet seems totally natural to him. I really like his huge horns, the textures on them are incredible and I love the colors. They look so sacred with that weaving hung between them as well, I just adore that unique touch.
I really like his pose as well, there is such a wildness about it! His face has a cautious, yet confident, animal air about it.
This is definitely my favourite of your sculptures so far and oh how I wish I could afford him because he is magnificent!

I do like Jai a lot too, and his name just came out of nowhere. I was walking through the trees past our alpaca/goat pasture when the name hit me. Funny how things work!
