Welcome to Gaia! ::

Got out the Sculpey for the first time in a while and I'm remembering how bloody difficult it is to de-texturize it- I have a very additive and subtractve process, which gives everything little lines. Here's my WIP shots:





Is there any advice on smoothing out these tiny lines that develop? I've just been going over it with a metal knitting needle, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them.

General crit is quite welcome too, as are ideas for the base- pondering a brick texture or something, but I don't know if it fits the character (Kuwabara from YuYu Hakusho.)

Actually, it's just plain old Sculpey.

And I'm just sanding/carving now that it's baked. A little more slicey, but simpler.

(Also, Sclupey III is water soluble? O__O Cool. )

I did mean before baking in the first post. But I went ahead and baked it. :B It's all sanded and carved and baked again and sanded and carved again. Just hafta paint it now.

(A buffer sounds a lot better than the scraps of fine sandpaper I was using, though.)
