Very nice...you also have some very nice prints...my question...are these individual prints that you have or are they 'copies'. If they are copies how do you get them done? Jack of all trades! Very nice…you also have some very nice prints…my question…are these individual prints that you have or are they ‘copies’. If they are copies how do you get them done?

Working with this material is fun stuff. If you've ever used sculpey... its nothing like that. Its neat because its pretty hard at room temperature (so you can carve it) but the heat from your hands makes it softer so you can sculpt it like Sculpey - that's the wax that's in it. The hardness means all that work you put into details doesn't get smushed away when you're working on it, which is nice. A word of warning though: its not a permanent medium, you'll have to make a mold from your sculpt and cast it in resin or something. @Teresa- hey thanks!

Its funny, you never really realize how odd a person's features are until you either draw or sculpt them- especially the sorts I'm drawn to who's individual features are all strange, but all together make a pleasing whole. Man, I can't wait to get some hair on her, I just can't decide on a style: 5th Element or the first Resident Evil... well thanks.

It's like we were talking about: she's a weird one because when you really look at her face, it's more masculine and hard than it seems at first. Like her nose, and her brow. But I can already tell you that it looks better than 75% of the stuff they end up selling on those collector sites. It is hard to tell, but yes, it does look like her.
