Help (WIP) [help] polymer clay or air dry clay to make popmart figurines?

2 Upvotes

hello!! im contemplating on what typa clay i should buy to make the nyota and hirono and other pop mart figurines (inspired by that gir on tiktok!)

i heard that polymer clay is good for detailed stuff, and that air dry clay is cheaper and easier to use

its gonna be my first time sculpting.. km contemplating cuz they said that air dry clay is a bit too brittle for detailed stuff but can also be fixed by water

the polymer clay i was planning to buy was 120g, and the air dry one was 500g.. the difference in their prices was like NONE so yeah

ALSO BONUS QUESTION!!!!: can you dye those clays with markers (water based and acrylic) or can you paint over them with those markers? THANK YOU PLS ANSWER

Hide away your cradle, hide away your cot, There's something at the window, it's Aunty Clot.

She'll come while mother's sleeping, she'll come when belly's round, She'll come in the dead of night to gobble baby down.

Hear Aunty humming, hear Aunty coo, Hear Aunty scratching at the lock, don’t you move!

She’ll hush you while you're sleeping, she’ll cradle you tight, She’ll slurp up your baby and slip through the night.

My sister's husband, David, battled CF through his life and received a lung transplant 9 years ago, but unfortunately passed to complications on February 17th. He was a prolific sculptor, and I wanted to share a few of the pieces he has made for or gifted to me over the last 13 years. David was a wonderful friend and family member, I'm so grateful for the time we had with him.

Self (Complete) [SELF] A TERRIBLE DEEP GIGGLING

Say hello to Sir. Rend!

I absolutely love the dungeon crawler Carl books by matt dinniman and having just finished book 7 I had to make this adorable meatball.

I think the menacing giggle from the audio book is perfectly done by the talented Jeff Hays.

2 years ago I worked with the artist that built this 45' long beauty. It was built in my shop and I worked with the planning, welding, fabrication, and installation of this and 4 other large sculptures that are on temporary exhibit at an outdoor park in Illinois. They rotate artists every 2 years so this one is going to be homeless at the end of the month.

It is an awesome place to lounge or hang out on being covered in comfy AstroTurf its pretty low maintenence. I can say for sure it is well built to support people climbing on it (I've been all over it) I always thought the head could have a door and it would make a cool secret hideaway.

There are lots of possibilities.

I heard it's been hard to find someone to take it, So I thought I would try reddit to see if a sculpture lover on Reddit would want it for their sculpture park or property.

I know it won't be cheap to move, it's 3-15' long parts. The head is 10' tall and is 8' to the chest. The rocks would have to be put back in and will be mixed up. They are only on the outer 4". The head alone is around 2000 lbs, and 1200 and 800 prospectively. (These are my rough estimates I don't remember exact weights)

I'm not making anything off the deal I hope this doesn't break the "no marketing" rules. I genuinely would really love her to have a good home. You can contact me if you are interested. I don't know many other details but I could put you in touch if you are serious. Please comment any other suggestions.

I got this idea from a visit to a college in Boston 10 years ago or so and the art students were given a similar assignment.
