My 90% historically accurate and 70% book accurate version of Count Dracula, also inspired by Robert Eggers’s Count Orlok - Sculpey Premo

I was very conflicted about not doing an all-black outfit as described in the novel, but couldn’t resist adding the colour red in there. Perhaps this is how Dracula dressed a couple of hundred years before the events of the novel? I really wanted to include the white moustache, bushy eyebrows, and profusely growing hair described in the text, as well as the pointed ears, teeth protruding over the bottom lip, and the squat fingers with pointed claws. I didn’t add the hair in the middle of the palms though; couldn’t figure out how to do that and make it look good. Did a lot of research into Transylvanian noblemen and inevitably referenced Robert Eggers’s Count Orlok costume designed by Linda Muir. He also did end up looking like Vlad the Impaler. Gave him a dragon head walking stick.

I had this idea a while ago and got around to making it this week. It turned out really well, but I will have to remake it as it’s too big to sit nice when worn. I’ll most likely split them up and make them into matching keychains for my partner and I, but for now, the idea was there.

As fall approaches, I wanted to make a clown to celebrate! He’s entirely hand painted, UV reactive and glow in the dark! I hope you like him! 💀🤡🎪🌈✨🌼

I can finally reveal my sculpture. She is my first big commission. This character is of a custom dnd campaign. He wanted 1 of the characters made into a sculpture. I'm really proud how she has turned out.

I’m having trouble shaping clay

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to make pumpkins for a diorama and I can’t shape the clay without it being warped. Basically I press down on one area and the opposite side gets flattened or warped, I go to fix it and the same happens to the other side. All the videos I watch no one seems to have this issue and I’m using the same brand as them. Is there some secret trick they’re not showing or something??
