Character - New sculp i woking..

[Deathcricket]

Wow! I absolutely love it! I think your supposed to post WIP (work in progress) in the other section though. The only part that bugs me is the upper lip area where it connects to the nose. Lower lip is fine but put a slight bit more mass on the top for definition. The nose seems to slide into the mouth.

If your looking for suggestions I would try a small horn on the top center of the forehead. The level of detail you have so far is great, especially the neck. Can't wait to see it painted!

Quick question if you have time. I notice the bottom you have alluminum foil and is that electrical tape? When your building something like this, how much foil do you put under there? I would guess you would try to use as much as possible due to the costs involved in the clay. How do you pack it tightly enough so it doesn't move when you are sculpting on top of it. I have been wanting to experiment with something like this and am curious about setting up.

you should check out Sculptors Corner (http://www.iespana.es/sculptorscorner/) for inspiration...lots of great sculptures there.

Deathcricket:
I use a wire frame, then wrap aluminum foil over that, using a pair of pliers to squeeze it down really tight (it uses a lot of foil!), then wrap the foil with small wire to keep it compressed. Use the pliers to twist the wire very tight and you should be able to put only a thin layer of supersculpy over the top of it.
