    yes, its made from scratch. sculpey clay on top of a wire skeleton.

    thanks. the back of the header has some art on it as well, but theres also a poem thats slightly private. ;)

    Wow!Very dope, inspiring, and cool.The header card looks great also.

    Did you use colored sculpey?Or did you color the figure after it was cured?

    That's a really cool idea and I'm sure it'll go over well, ya big charmer you! ;)


    You should make a "youth zombie" series. I'd be in for sure!

    thanks for saying nice things, everyone. i'm glad you like it.

    i used the regular beige-ish colored super sculpey, then painted it after i baked it.
