you sculpt things so well. i wouldn't be able to give you any tips. you already seem very talented. this looks excellent as it is. (though for personal taste, i'd like it better without the underwear). i think i prefer your works uncoloured at present. i wish i was able to give you some tips on introducing more texture, colour variation and shading in regards to painting; but i am a novice, and i am sure it is something that will take alot of research, practice and effort. i have a few questions, hope you don't mind. what sort of clay do you use? is it something that can be air dried, or must it go in a kiln / be heated? the only (air-drying) clays i have tried to work with seem to flake or break apart a slightly once it is dry. and polymer clays don't seem quite so easy to work with. also, do you creatre a wire frame first? i make the assumption you do from looking at the wings, and how they are attached (interesting wing design). it would be interesting to see the bare bones of the piece. keep up the good work, and sorry my post is so long. hope this translates okay.

Hehe Thanks, and clearly not bother me questions, see: clay I use is brand DAS, are dry air (but sometimes faster hehe one an electric oven), the other clays I have not been able to work ever also the Crosses (is that here in Mexico is very difficult and expensive to find materials , so I think that this clay is normal clay hehe, do not use wire (only very fine in places like the wings hehe), the wire skeleton is not (actually you can see the basic figure in another show of mine), to give details and join the parts water is used for soft texture is used once and dry sandpaper. hopefully that will serve you hehe, if you have more questions just send me an email.

thankyou so much for the response. i think you answered everything thoroughly.i might give working with clay another try. feel a little inspired. it's rather surprising how you have not needed wire for most of this. i am sort of glad about that, i considered trying a wire inside, but knew i would be no good at planning my structures in such a way. thanks again for talking the time to reply.

You have to using wire underneath this even for the wings XD; how can they just stand so firm like that with just clay and nothing else? this looks so very smooth and very nice detail work and pose. awesome work. :3

Thank you very much , because if you have a bit of copper wire in the wings, but there onwards is pure clay, hehe looks so smooth by sanding .

oh my, shi looks wonderful ^^

Thanks, glad you liked it .

did ya get my note?
