Thanks for your question. I use a mix ...Hi Wayne,<br /><br />Thanks for your question. I use a mix of sculpey III, super sculpey and fimo. There's no particular reason for mixing the brands, but I find fimo a little bit firmer to sculpt, and slightly more resilient once baked. I use the super sculpey for extending the fimo, since I can't always get the colors I want at the store if they run out.<br /><br />I mix different colors of sculpey or fimo to obtain the base color for the clay I use-this way, the final product is already the color I want and I just paint thin layers on top of it after baking, which looks more realistic.<br /><br />I don't have any particular formula, I just mix the clay to be the lightest shade I want on my model, and actually veer towards making it more opaque than translucent. Fimo tends to be fairly opaque, except in thin places. As long as the final, baked product has translucency in thin areas-like the ears, it will be realistic. I think that details read better on a small scale when the model is a little more opaque. If it's too translucent, I find the results end up looking too much like paraffin-although that might be desirable if you want the creature to have that texture, such as in a squid or salamander type skin.<br /><br />I hope this helps and that I didn't rant on too much!David Mengnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2160843366897424794.post-62379936938983175382010-01-26T15:22:14.671-08:002010-01-26T15:22:14.671-08:00Hi Dave,

I also saw your work in Spectrum.<br />I love this piece, it's all in the wrinkles for me... very inspiring.<br />Could you shed some light on the sculpey mix you use. I use sculpting wax myself, but obviously a mould is required to obtain a 'hard copy' and this is a process that I'd like to skip.<br />Thanks for sharing this. Top class work ;)<br /><br />WayneWayne Taylorhttp://www.waynetaylordesign.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2160843366897424794.post-17382335822511003962010-01-12T05:41:45.099-08:002010-01-12T05:41:45.099-08:00I am sorry I can not technicaly help you with the ...I am sorry I can not technicaly help you with the ful or the beard, but it is a wonderful piece!AlexTuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029934059519758324noreply@blogger.com
