Here's something you probably won't get to see in person, a 1/6th scale bust I did for no real good reason other then just because I wanted to. Remember a few posts ago how I mentioned that one of the Zombicide figures got lost in the mail? Well, this guy was in the box too. My guess is right now he is in a landfill, ashes in an incinerator or sitting on a disgruntled postal workers shelf staring at him accusatorily.
Based loosely off of Edouard Guiton's art work and style and sculpted in Super Sculpy this guy took me about a day and a half to complete. And in hindsight I wish I had taken better pictures since as far as I know this is all that remains of him.
Hey Jason, I find your work stellar. Do you find much of a difference between the various types of fimo? Also do you use mixquick?

Hello and thank you!
DeleteYes, a big difference between classic and soft, on their own I find the classic is too firm and the soft is too mushy. To get my "Goldilocks" zone of firmness I mix two packs of classic with three packs of soft, (usually 2 classic pale flesh with three packs of soft peppermint blue)..I have tried mixquick and it definitely makes using the classic easier but it's not something I can readily get my hands on so I don't rely on it as a sculpting staple. Hope that answers your question?
Thanks Jason. I love these posts. If you ever run short on ideas for the blog articles, a description of your sculpting process would be great. Keep up the good work.
DeleteIf that is something that would interest people then I will consider doing that. Now, I just have to find the time to sculpt something of my own. Uugh.
DeleteHi. Thanks for running a great blog. I've nominated you for a Liebster :) - http://hobbybeforeidie.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/liebster-award.html
