Hello all,
My first time poster, long time lurker
My gf and I are starting an ambitious project
We are doing a Rocafort inspired versions of Red Robin and Black Bat (see attached)
My question is, what is the best type of clay to use for the sculpting?
I know it needs to be sulfer based since I'll be making the negative out of silicone. But I need it to be very smooth and detailed and from my experience its a little difficult to get that out of just normal sulfer clay from the art store and water for smoothing. So any tips in that department would be great!
I was planning on making the suits out of Dragon Skin rubber from Smooth of. Maybe making the midsection and joints out of the soft Dragonskin and the check and more rigid part out of the harder Dragonskin. (so if anyone has experience with dragon skin, I'd love to hear it)
Also, how should i section off the suits? I was thinking doing one cast for the cowl, one cast for the torso+groin area, one cast for each thigh/leg and one cast for each arm--maybe two for the upper and lower arm?
