*edit* 20th July 2007

Changed the base to make it stonger and fixed statue after dropping it XD - also added close up of logo

~ Project DP~

Finally my ' Project DP ' is done XD the final sketch that I based the statue on is in the top left (obviously!!) at the point when I took these photos it wasn't stuck together and after I took the pics a wire caught Danny and he fell off the table and broke both legs, sounds funny but it so isn't ¬_¬ still currently trying to put him back together, luckly the foil inside kept him from falling apart completely...

Anyway, I started designing this on the 16th of June and it was (kinda) finally completed today (16th July)

I was using a new medium this time, air-drying clay which is HELL to work with... but fortunatly it drys as you put it instead of melting or molding to something else (Like what happened with my Ultoris statue)

Danny's face was actually the hardest part to paint, trying to do a 3D face of him when all I have for reference are 2D pictures is quite tough!! but after 3 tries I got it :XD:

I love the wall on the background, it has a nice colour to it though it's darker than I wanted it to be, didn't realise until after I'd glued it so I didn't bother to change it.

Also in the box if you can see are two little eyes which glow :XD: (Me and my glowies!) the statue looked a little bland without something there, and I needed something to prop up the wall as it kept falling back, so I made a bag and a box then put eyes in the box as I was getting carried away lol

your welcome

what's the best kind of clay for that kind of thing? I have some pottery clay (though I need to figure out how to soften it a bit...i suppose a bit of water would work) and I want to make stuff like that.

to be honest I'm not sure myself, I've used stuff called 'Fimo clay' which I guess is like Sculpty, you have to 'cook' Fimo clay though in the oven, but it does come in different colors, which can save on painting but the downside is it tends to melt a little so what you put in the oven isn't always what you get out, same with the colors. Though it does seem to be tough, so if you drop it it won't break easy.

And I've used air-drying clay, which is what this statue is made from, it takes ages to dry but you can add to it easily (unlike Fimo), it comes in 2 colors I think (white, which is what I used, and Terracota which is what garden pots are made from - usually)... Air-drying clay lasts a lot longer than Fimo, and dries as you molded it, but if t does 'droop' you can prop it up and change it (carefully) as it dries. It's a lot easier to paint too. Though it does break easy (as I've mentioned on the comments to this sculpture).

So I think both are evil to work with... but also equally as good as one another... though with the air-drying clay you can do lots of details on it once it's dry. Fimo is probably better for people who are new to molding, but air-drying clay is probably better for more detailed things. :)

Hope that helps :3

and yeah adding water to clay does make it more softer, but be careful with how much you add, adding too much will destroy the clay.

Wow, thanks for the advice! =D

I got a pottery wheel type thing for christmas and I'm just now trying to figure out how to work it. But i absolutely adored the unit we did in art class last year concerning sculpting.

thats ok :D hope it wasn't too confusing XD I've used a pottery wheel before, only twice, but unfortunatly the pots I made haven't survived time... nor my dogs X3 I don't have one personally though, don't have the room really. =/ but air-drying clay is better, certainly less messy than clay people normally use on clay wheels (the stuff you have to cook in a kilne) while I was making this I actually got more on my face and hands than on the floor and table XD which pleased my parents a lot since they didn't need to clean it :lol:
