ooo cute

Oh hey! I know those two x3
That is super awesome!

This is so amazing!! I love the eyes, the paint job, and all of the feather and fur textures - wonderful work!!

I have a questions for you, if you don't mind... You said that the bell was sculpted right into the figure, yes? I have some teensy bells like this that I've been wanting to use for certain things (my character always wears a bell collar, for instance), but I haven't tried it since I don't know if it's safe to bake the sculpture with the bell already attached. So...there's my question. Is it safe to bake the bell, or will it turn colors or anything like that? I don't know why it would, but...just thought I'd ask to be sure. Sorry to ramble!

In my experience, the heat from the oven isn't generally so hot that melts or burns anything. I baked the bell in this sculpture and it didn't change at all, so it's probably safe (though as a disclaimer, I just bungle my way through sculptures so if there was some kind of toxic gas released, I didn't know about it! XD;;;) My general rule of thumb is that anything that doesn't melt at a low temperature - metal, wood, glass, stone, epoxy - can all go into the oven. Hopefully this rule never comes back to bite me in the ass, but so far so good. XD

Sweet, I'll have to give it a try next time I make a Kululu sculpture! Thank you so much, and I do hope that there are no ebil toxic gases hiding in your house now!

Gorgeous

WOW thats amazing!

One teensy question; How do you get the eyes looking like theyre meant to, like theyre inbedded into the head? =/ everytime ive tried it, they turn out looking scared or startled or very uneven =/... heh

There are probably a couple ways you can do it! I usually do it one of two ways: one way is to scoop out holes ("eye sockets") then fill them with eyeballs. Making the eyeballs separately makes it much easier to get them equal sizes. Some people bake the eyeballs first so that they don't get squished once you stick them in the head, but I am a little impatient and I usually change the eyeball shapes and sizes several times before I am satisfied, so I just put them in while they're still squishy. Once the eyeballs are in, you sculpt the eyelids over the edges of the eyes and blend them in with the rest of the head.

The other way that I do it is to take a flat tool and press the eyeball shapes into the figure. By this I mean I push into the clay around where the eyelids should be, until the "eyeball" area is more depressed than the "eyelid" areas. ....I don't know if I explained that well at all. Sorry. XD;;;

AH thats cool, thanks so much :) that explains what im doing wrong xDD
