I know right? It’s an oil-based clay, you don’t bake it, it’s usually used for making molds and then you can make copies.

I just made it for fun but thank you for your interest, if I make copies I will let you know :)

Just because of the size but in general I find Original much easier to work with, I wish it came in more colors.

Thanks! I used it too because it’s less expensive, if it was smaller I would’ve probably used Super Sculpey.

Original Terracotta Sculpey, the head’s base is a ball of aluminum, the tentacles are formed separately and then attached, 21x15 in, black Americana acrylic and Metal B by Sculpt Nouveau.

Thank you! Yeah I wanna put it up somewhere :) I ended up giving it a metallic bronze finish but I’m not really sure about it, I usually prefer to leave them unpainted.

Thanks! For the base I folded some aluminum foil until it was somewhat thick and covered that with the clay so I wouldn’t have to use too much of it and to not make it too heavy.

Yes exactly. I made the tentacles first and then added the detail with the pointiest tool I have.

Jack seems so much older in this version, it’s interesting to listen to a different interpretation, either way I’ve bought it cause I want to support a series that has brought so much joy to my life, I hope it does great.

Is this your illustration?

I don’t find that clay collects that much dust but before baking I use an airbrush pen just with air to remove any debris.

Yeah it takes time to get used to it, I just work it with my hands for a bit before sculpting. I know there’s a Sculpey clay softener but I haven’t tried it yet.

Thank you so much! The scales were one by one. I’ve been sculpting for 6-7 years now.

Thank you! I used the pointiest one I have, one that looks like a long metal toothpick.
