So I finally picked up some sculpey and sculpting tools, and got to cranking out my first sculpt tonight! During the baking process I kind of burnt the top and bottom a bit though. Constructive criticism is welcomed! I definitely have to work on smoothing. Here's Left Nut...
GENIUS. Madball tribute, Left Nut! I say you make a couple. Like boogers, buttholes, and a Right Nut! Package them in a bag, I'm sold!
Looks more like just a plain old skull than a testical skull to me. You could sculpt the epididymis across the back of the head, like a hair piece or toupee something? Maybe make the vas deferens into a stylish 80's rat-tail ...or maybe I'm just talking bollocks?
When I first started I was pretty much just screwing around, then eventually came up with this. Couldn't think of a name for it so I just called it "Left Nut." But now I really wish I could add those anatomical details to the sculpt! Can I though? Just sculpt out new things onto the already baked clay and just pop it in the oven again? He's about 1.25" tall and 1.5" wide! So quite small, probably not enough to be a full fledged madball tribute. I am however thinking about re-sculpting a larger one! I'm not sure if this will go to resin because I don't have any of that equipment, but I might be able to ask someone else if they could cast a few for me! Will definitely paint a few up if it happens.
Sure can- that's exactly how I work. I think all of my sculpts must have been through the oven at least half a dozen times. To help with adhesion you can score into the baked clay with a knife to rough up the surface, or apply a little vaseline to the surface to help it stick.
When you do Right Nut, I recommend giving him an abcess. Trust me, its no fun, and I'm sure he deserves it. Whatever you do, keep working. Left Nut looks good. I think some of the most incredible works have come from people on this board. Love to see where you go with these guys.
