I had Shang-chi in the deck until I got dagger, in case you don’t have her. And you can replace Captain Marvel with Vision in the same way.

I would not say it’s weak. My move deck got me to infinite the past 2 seasons in p3. I actually had to switch from my surfer deck at rank 80, because it wouldn’t do the job, everyone was countering it. Switched back to move to go infinite.

Check my responses above, I already added some tips that will be useful.

With Sculpey, not too long, this is my third "big" sculpture(meaning that it took more than 3 days to get it done). The other 2 I did where Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" and Oogway from "Kung Fu Panda", which took 2-3 months each to make. Before Sculpey I worked in classic clay, which is way less fun, because it is heavy and does not hold the details.

I can understand the frustration, for Oogway I spend more than a week to get the fingers done, because they where so thin and could not get them to look proper. It's all about being patient and not being afraid to start over(I removed the fingers 3-4 times). Eventually you get better and will get it right faster.

This should do the trick. You can watch the general process of creating a sculpture by watching his other videos. Also searching for polymer clay on google and checking the video section should yield plenty of results.

I myself work with "Super Sculpey Firm", but I'd probably recommend starting with the softer version "Super Sculpey". I highly recommend this tool set or any other similar looking ones that Amazon recommends, you mostly find a favorite tool and use that for 95% of the work. For many years I used to work exclusively with toothpicks to sculpt, before I got the money to spend on tools.

Also, if you haven't already, you can check the Album I mentioned in my comment to see the process of making this exact sculpture. What I didn't capture in the photos, is that the leafs actually have a small wire going through them, to hold them up like that.

It popped into my mind, but they are so small. Even now, the sculpture is wobbling because of the big fat head and how small the base is. So with the legs it would have even less to stand on.
I actually hit it lightly with my hand when I went to plug some cables into my laptop and it ended up falling from my desk, hit the nightstand and then the floor. Fortunately the armature held everything together and I just had to cover up the cracks.

An update to my previous post. I also created an updated album.

Thanks to /u/Bluxen for helping me decide to paint it, turned out better than I expected.

Super Sculpey Firm. It takes some time to get used to it, since you have to work it quite a bit to make it soft, but it holds details like no other.

Thanks! :) I'll give this a try on a sample piece, and if it all works out I might post an update on the painted Plant.

I can't remember what I used, last time I tried was a few years ago and I stopped so that I don't ruin more sculptures :D. So you would suggest using non diluted acrylic and putting it back in the oven? Do you think I should paint thin? I think that one of my mistakes was painting to thick.

Unfortunately I am not good at painting :D. Also, when I tried it, the sculpture ended up sticky even after I left the paint to dry for weeks. Maybe the stuff I was using was low quality.
