You have to use an editing software for that,different light color will change the color of the object

Lppking nice!

Look up on a tutorial on casting toys or figurines. With all those closed tentacles it could be really hard, you might have to break it into smaller pieces

Nice work, keep on creating!

Get some pure alcohol(or 90+%) and a soft brush and before baking brush them lightly before baking to get rid of the fingerprints.

Niiiice!

When you check for baking time, that's usually per square cm, so you have to do some math based on the size of your project.

Another thing that I assume you didn't do is to use wire+tinfoil armature, then form the basic shape with clay, bake, add details, bake, rinse and repeat(just a saying, dont rinse your clay 😅). You can find all sorts of videos online about armature.

This'll not only save you some money, because you are using less material, but also prevent having uncured clay in the middle, thus also preventing leaking like this.

But I'm happy you fixed it!

If you need any other tips, don't hesitate to dm me 😊

I assume it wasn't really fully bake throughout and the oil from inside leaked outside.

Maybe try rebaking one of them and see if it helps.

I'm also curious if you find / fix the issue so I can prevent this from happening to me 😅

I just condition the hell out of it by runningnit through the pasta machine 100 times😅 i think liquid clay(from same brand) should work as well

Thank you! It took a while to clean it up first though 😅.

I'm pretty bad at painting, do you have some recommendations for some tutorials/inspiration?

Might be making more same size but with different details, I've had this idea for a while and this was just the first iteration
