Misfits,

also thanks chuck, this is very helpful, I'm trying to make a skull and couldn't figure out how to execute the process. I'll make a video of the final product and give credit to you. :)

[PsychoLegoBrick]

[chamae22]

very very nice chuck.. amazing! what did you paint in your skull around 3:39? is that an oil?

[strangedays777]

Thanks! It is Super Sculpey Clay softener. Great stuff for removing finger prints.

[bpminime25]

Gat music but nice

[cripplerboy]

i use FIMO,an oven drying clay.what do you use

[strangedays777]

super sculpey

[hshugos1]

niiiice!!!

[antijelly]

you should shorten the tittle to .. skull-pting.

yea i know.. horrible. im actually boo-ing myself right now.

but anyway.. i use super sculpey. ive just very recently started sculpting though so yea.. some of the sculptign tools are sooooooo expensive

[strangedays777]

Make your own tools! I've used Knitting needles, Sewing needles attached to wooden handles,Bobby pins, kitchen knives, wire twisted together for a loop tool, paintbrushes, paper clips, dental floss, tooth picks, a piece of hard wood that was sanded down to a clay pusher. You probably have several tools around the house. I've purchased several tools over the years and found out I only use 1/4 of them all the time. Some I haven't used in years.

[jjobie]

rofl +1 for the pun :)

[StickyRice43]

wahhh thats badass!!!! now how do ya connect it to a body? XD btw, what was put on it at the end? glaze? also, i hear ppl use paintbrushes to smoothen the surface texture, do ya dip the paintbrush in water? srry for soo many ?s im juss starting out :P

[strangedays777]

Thanks! This head will be molded and cast into a fridge magnet. If I was to attach it to a body I would make the wire at the end a lot longer before I sculpted the piece. Longer wire makes it easier to attach to an armature. I use a brush to apply the Sculpey smoothing agent. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[StickyRice43]

wowzers!!!!!!!! thanks for your wisdom sculpey sensei!!!! :D I shall try making something now :P

p.s. what's a fridge magnet???? sorry if that was a stoopid question XD

[strangedays777]

A magnet that goes on a refrigerator. My magnets look cool on refrigerators : )

[StickyRice43]

oh duh, hahahaha i feel really retarded now XD i was assuming it was a more technical term used in sculpting XD i guess when i hear "cast INTO a fridge magnet" i thought it was more like cast IN TO a fridge magnet, like it was some kinda fancy fridge you put the cast into to let it cool down or something XD i dunno, made sense to me, but now that i hear myself again, im retarded sounding XD heheheh

[Mwahohoho]

Wow, even halfway through it already looks awesome

[strangedays777]

Thanks!!

[GeorgiaIrakli]

[Darius12235]

[strangedays777]

Glad you liked it.

[smallmadtv]

Waouu,

how mutch time does it really take? What's your experience in doing that?

Really impressive and so small... !!

[strangedays777]

Thanks, this one took about 2 hours to finish. I've been sculpting for about 13 years.

[cabblers]

hey is this meterial like industrial clay - besides : nice work

[InsideOutAnus]

You work really fast.

[agnosticfaith]

nice work.

how much is that super sculpey clay and is their a good website to get it from. No place where I live has any.

[SemainedeBonte]

Probably a dumb question, but: how do you bake it without flattening it or ending up with a temperature variation with a metal understructure that can discolor or crack? (assuming this is bake rather than water or air harden stuff) And, if you do leave it on the frame, how do you get it off the frame cleanly?

[strangedays777]

I use a narrow pair of vice grips to keep it in an upright position when I am holding it. you can also position the grips to hold the piece when you set it down. I leave the finished piece on the armature. never tried to take if off the armature. I like to make small sculptures to mold and make plastic castings of the original. This way they last forever without cracking.

[nefhead]

Whats the music playing.

[strangedays777]

Samhain  song Archangel

[tbenefi33]

nice work keep up the good work

can you use regular sculpey or

super sculpey is better ?

[strangedays777]

I like to use Super Sculpey because it is soft but not too soft for detail. Thanks for watching

[colintx800]

Nice work !!! Excellent stuff.

[strangedays777]

Thank you

[jordancorey]

Hi Chuck, are you painting alcohol on the skull to smooth it? If so, what kind and where do you get it. Great work by the way.

[strangedays777]

I use a smoothing agent made by sculpey. you can generally find it near the sculpey at your local art store. You can actually see the small bottle with a little red cap in the back.I'm glad you liked it.

una cagada man
