I'm actually making an account just for my sculptures, I'll post a Journal or something when I get around to uploading stuff there!

I'd also like to ask about what kind of paint you use, and how you apply it. I've been trying acrylic, but honestly it goes on so streaky.
I only flesh it out with foil at the shoulder/ butt where it's thickest, but even there only lightly flesh it out, and cover it and the bare wire of the legs with one layer of masking tape so that the sculpey sticks.
Also the technique, I put too much sculpey on and sort of, stroke and push the clay down the leg until I get the right shape, then remove the excess from the feet. If that makes any sense??
As for paint, I use regular acrylic. Some colours are really washy so you just have to do a lot of coats. I water it down a bit and don't load the brush too heavily. Though once I painted an almost pure white chatacter and just spraypainted the whole thing first, haha.
