How do you sculpt like that with Sculpey clay? Do you add to the figure or do you just hack away at a block of clay?...

Its truly amazing! Just so I understand though, what is this made of? clay, plaster, ? Also I thought that these uncast models would fall over.... ...although looks like Im wrong..

this is absolutely stunning... you know I"ve never seen sculpture like yours before... it's just absolutely amazing. I've got a few questions if you don't mind... how long did it take you to make this from start to finish, what do you make it out of specifically and is there a hardening/baking process it goes through afterwards? also, how on earth do you manage those details? I would assume you've either got teensy fingers, or you use some tools.
also... sorry for the bombardment of questions here, but who made your avatar?
I'm thinking about getting more into sculpture and at this point I could use all the advice/help I can get.
thanks, you're a constant inspiration.

Wow, you're too kind, thank your for your lovely comment!
Well on to your questions:
The amount of time working on her really got lost because I took a month off ...I can't tell you how many hours, I just worked on her off and on throughout a month I tried to keep track..hehe The details took the longest though, getting the character was the easy part, and I do know that the head was redone like 3 times, because it was really hard to get right..hehe.
I used Super Sculpey, and you can bake it at 275 F in a regular oven at home! You can find more about it at [link] I love the stuff...though I've never tried anything else..there could be better stuff out there
I do use some tools to get the details The turtle, little needle weapons, and the jewel on her back were all fired separately and then glued on. I mostly use a rubber tipped tool that you can see in my tutorial, which shows all the materials I use for my models >>> [link]
And my avatar was done by [link] he's now working at Blue Sky and is awesome at what he does..hehe
Hope my answers helped..hehe If you do start working in clay, feel free to ask me anything through a note, I'm an open book

Hi! I make some sculpey figures too... And I was wondering... How long did it take you to make this figure? It's awesome, and I've seen some other stuff you made, and you are very good at it! This one is very neat, how did you make the clothes stay "all flowy" like that? wires?

I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY THIS IS IN THE SCRAPS SECTION
But wow man, this is incredible. It's like looking at those models of anime characters....the SUPER detailed ones (shit, even some of the more expensive ones are less detailed than this!)
I'm just bloody stunned (X3; I'll give a better comment in the other section~!)

wow that is just amazing! Do you do that just by eye or is there some special trick? And how do you keep her hair and dress and stuff from sagging where the clay is thinner and weaker? I always had that problem when i played around with clay. The thin parts just dropped and died...
