Well, if you don't have any clay, you can't start your sculpt. Go to an art store or a craft store and get some oil-based clay and some sculpting tools. (Not water-based clay, because that'll harden and you won't be able to revise it later.) For the method I'm thinking of, you won't even need a mannequin -- you can just roll out the clay on a flat surface and start sculpting on it. Then, once you're ready to mold it, you can make the mold using Ultracal 30 gypsum cement.how would i go about sculpting just the texture bits for my suit? don't have a mould or clay to start orhell even a manniquein lol
for the texture, i used pom poms of different sizes, as well as wax chippings and beads. At layer 2 or 3 of latexing..i coated them in latex...stuck them onto the suit in certain areas where i wanted the bumpy/scaley texture, then continued to add my layers of latex over it.....for the slimy/shiny look, i used a high gloss sealant by folklore. came out great for a first suit...pics are in my profile if u want to see
