New to Reddit! I sculpted this little polymer clay wildlife figurines. I'd love to know what you think!
Hey everyone! This is my second post on Reddit. I am feeling a bit unsure of posting here. Until now I only browsing reddit, but seeing some very helpful comments and feedback to others I thought I will try. I really need some feedback from you. I’ve been working on a woodland wildlife series bears, foxes, and owls. They are my first polymer clay creations.
I’m still trying to get better at my technique, so I would love some honest, constructive feedback on them! (Especially on things like the fur/feather textures or the overall shaping).
Any feedback would be great!!!
I built these forest guardians out of fallen bark, pinecones, twigs and other things I forage from my local woods [self]
Just wanted to share some of my latest woodland spirit sculptures . Every piece of material was foraged locally, most near my house . Hope you enjoy them and let me know what you think of them . The first one was selected for the 2026 TSAA juried exhibition and featured at the Huntington Museum of Art for three months in the Switzer Gallery .
How do you get a perfectly smooth finish with air dry clay?
I've worked with so many different polymer clay brands before, but ever since I started using this stone clay, I think I've found the one. I honestly don't feel like I need to try any other clay anymore
Humanoid Insect
First time with foamclay.
The scene shows a humanoid insect with an alien weapon. Its actual size is about 2–3 cm, and birds are among its natural predators. According to the feather, this threat has been neutralized."
Scrap metal art sculpture
How you think, what name can be for this sculpture?
Air dry clay cracking - how do i fix?
this is my first time making a sculpture and i still have so much to learn, but im assuming its because i used too much water to smooth out the surface. I was going to just go over it with pure clay but after reading other people’s posts it seems like it doesn’t always work, and tbh when i mess up a certain amount of times i js crash out and give up but i really dont wanna give up on this so im coming straight to here. any tips would be appreciated even if its just in general as im trying to expand my knowledge too! :)
Where should I hire a clay sculptor?
Anyone have any advice, or looking for work? I'm having trouble finding someone to take my commission on Fiverr, haha, most of the people labeled as sculptors are "digital sculptors" making 3d prints, when I want a clay sculpture. Or they do claymation and don't ship things.
I'm looking to have someone make a 6-9in bust of Wayne from Hylics for my friend. He loves that game, and I'd love to get him a piece for Christmas. It's a niche RPG where the creator first created everything out of clay and then digitized it, resulting in a very unique art style. So having a clay sculpture of the main character is only fitting. But honestly, I know nothing about clay art.
Photos attached are some screenshots from the game and then two pictures of someone else's work on making Wayne real that I saw in my search and really liked.
Thanks :)
P.s. if you want the full Hylics experience look up a video or some gifs. This game has a bunch of wacky, awesome clay animations.
