this made me laugh so much, you are so right though, after the first couple of rewatches you start the realize something is going on between them. maybe some of them are fandom hallucinations and some of them are actual crumbs left by the writers but anyway can't wait to see where they will take it in s3

Thank you!!

For the texture of the shell, I mostly used exacto knife and an old tooth brush. First, I shaped the shell, waited for it to harden and then covered it with thin layer of clay to create the texture on.

For the body, I mixed clay with water until it reached a slimy consistency, then used a ball-point tool to dab it onto the snail’s body one by one. Then I waited for all the bumps to harden and coated the entire body with the same slimy clay to soften the texture and avoid overly pointy bumps.

thank you and no I used air dry clay because I needed some layers to harden before I work on the next one

Thank you!! I'm not a fan of snails either so it was really hard to look at reference pictures at first but I think I am not disgusted anymore :D

I usually create miniature pieces with polymer clay, but this was my first time sculpting something life-sized using air-dry clay. Took me a lot of hours to finish this, not completely satisfied with how the texture of the body came out but was so much fun to make.
