The catch is that while I'm pretty familiar with sculpture and have the raw capability I'd need to make a good figurine, I've never made anything taller than a few inches! I've worked with green stuff (Games Workshop's epoxy putty) and milliput before, and I'm familiar with the general procedure of sculpting a figure (from armature to detail), however I've been looking into sculpting larger figures and I'm obviously somewhat in at the deep end here.
As far as I can tell, the most commonly used material for the master sculpts of larger (8-11 inch) figurines is polymer clay, and more often than not, super sculpey. I've heard that a 50-50 mix of SS and SS Firm makes a good base to work from. It also seems that building up your figure from the armature with aluminium foil is a frequently used trick to save money on clay and make the figure lighter.
However, I'm totally new to polymer clays, and am especially wary about the baking stage. I have a feeling there are plenty of tips and tricks to be used in the creation of a master sculpt that I'm ignorant of. So if any of my watchers who happen to read this have experience in this line of work, I'd love to hear from you and ask for advice! If not, referring me to someone who might be able to help, or to tutorials or books that cover the process in a *high* level of detail would also be great. I've found a few deviants out there who fit the bill and are gratuitously talented, but I wanted to try this approach before spamming stragers' inboxes with plaintive requests for their time.

I just started reading FreakAngels and the artwork is nigh orgasmic to my eyeballs. You have a kickass style, to say the least. I love your art!

I bought the first two issues of Freakangels, only to check out the website and find out it was a webcomic, but oh well! I'll be getting the third one when it comes out. The artwork is stunning to say the least... I wish I could draw half as good, and the story is awsome.
So far, my favorite character is Arkady, just because she's so crazy... followed by Connor for some reason... maybe I just have a thing for the pretty boys. o.O
Keep up the epic work!
