Test cast with epoxy resin. I need practice with silicone/resin mold making for a project this week. So far so good! I love pressure pots.

The result when practice, study, and hard work pays off!

The final sculpt of my ffxiv character, a sci-fi au ra machinist! This one was so fun to make, and a challenge.

Follow me on Instagram or Twitter too!

Sculpted my character from ffxiv, an Au Ra machinist! The delicate pieces are held on with magnets and can be removed. Time to paint~~~

A practice piece! I’m so used to drawing on my “monitor” that switching to a tablet feels so weird. I’ve worn down 5 pen nibs from being too heavy-handed! More to come for sure though.

This was a fat cat sculpt I did awhile back. So much fun!

Have you thought about making a mold of this and casting is in resin to sell? I would absolutely love to buy one!

I do have molds of a couple sculpts I’ve done! Not the more complex and super detailed ones since they wouldn’t survive the molding process. But otherwise, I am open to commissions :)

A little something I painted awhile back!

~~May the 4th be with you!~~

I may have forgotten to update my tumblr in awhile... (I’m so sorry!) Here is a preview of my current sculpting project! It’s a handmade clay figure of my character from FFXIV. Nearly done!

how in the world did you get such smooth angles and edges on your pharah sculpt? do you have any general tips and tricks for making sculpey behave? i find it to be so squishy and doughey that it's difficult to make anything as detailed and precise as what you've made! i apologize if you have already answered things like this btw, i am new, my friend linked me your work lol

Hi! Sorry for my late response. I used sculpey firm and smoothed it out with my fingertips. The angles and edges were mostly using flat steel tools! After baking, I then wet sanded the whole thing to even out areas (taking it from ~100 to 1400 grit). If your clay is too squishy, you can also try pulling out some of the oil by pressing it between sheets of paper! Just not too much or it will become a rock. Working on a solid foundation or "core" to your work makes things easier too, that's why the insides of all my sculpts now are epoxy clay (which hardens rock solid in 24 hours). Hope that helps!

My prop of The Last Word from Destiny! I love that game. Made with MDF board, epoxy clay, and styrene.

I did concept art for a short fan-film titled, “The Holocron”.  It’s currently on GoFundMe, if you’re a Star Wars fan check it out here!
