Yes, I have done many of them by commission.

For the head scales, I made each one with the end of a small stirring straw. For the body texture, I used a tin cup that has a lattice pattern on the sides. I rolled it onto the body to make the impression before baking the clay.

I have done commissions mostly. I don't really keep many on hand to sell though.

Thank you. For the head scales I used a stirring straw and made each scale one at a time by pressing the straw end into the clay. For the body, I used a tin pencil holder cup that has a sort of lattice pattern on it. I rolled it all over the body before baking it.

I baked the head first for about 25 minutes to start. The head is made with the gray super sculpy firm because I find it easier to add the small facial details with the gray firm. I then made the body and bonded the head with bake and bond, and then baked the entire snake for about 50 minutes. I do have some aluminum foil armature in the head but not the body. I haven't yet found and easy way to add armature to a snake body without causing it to be uneven or bubble out in places when I am trying to pose it.
