How do you decide when to use sculpey or clay? I love them both, usually if I need to do something super smooth, with sharp detail I’ll use Hard Chavant clay. There are methods using a mini torch, alcohol,(I will show later) and freeze spray to get excellent results. Super sculpey can get really smoothed out,but a little too gummy for super detail. I’ll bake it then sand it down, use patching compound to get a real nice shape. I mostly use SS if the figure is a maquette for production art. Or if I want to fully paint and photograph a piece before I mold and cast.
Angry Clobber Monkey is a good example of SS piece that was fully built painted and photographed. I can make molds, cast and assemble the rest of the run and still have a finished pic of the final character for show and tell while I'm still working.
“Happy Product” was a prototype for Mark Osborne based on the characters in his animated short
“More”. This guy is so super smooth!
Chavant NSP clay for sure.

Holy crap! I remember the Osborne video that this guy came from. I think they used to show it on the sci-fi channel's short films. Is this for sale?
The "Happy Product figure was supposed to be released by Android 8
I finished the Prototype for Comic Con 05. I'm not sure what happened.
