Description
I really appreciated both the challenge and the opportunity to work on a non-rat subject and although he is far from perfect, I am still mostly happy with the final result.
Blend of Super Sculpey and Sculpey Firm over a wire and foil armature. Painted with acrylics and sealed with Citadel Purity Seal.

Weird, I know, but I just love his legs and feet. They're so very doxie! (Which I guess is the point! haha) You are so talented.
If you don't mind me asking- do you get good results strength wise by mixing the two clays?

Thank you
Post-baking there's not a huge amount of difference, but whilst sculpting I find it has a more firmer texture. I've noticed it more so recently after just using a particularly soft batch of Super Sculpey.

Thank you. I must admit, my favourite part is the paint job. He has shading in real life and some highlights that haven't shown up on the photo

You can add so much with paint, even more details and character

Sometimes I get really worried about something I've made, then they get the base coat on and I'm 'well what *was* I worried about?!'
