Part6]........FINAL DETAILS!!!
SEE THE FINISHED RESULTS HERE!!

12-1/2" tall, 7" wide, 6" deep... The width and dept somehow matches the base!!?! And the height is base included.. Total time creating this project... 11.08 hours!! Plus a couple to make scales... no more then 13 hours!! I'm not sure if that's good, or bad LOL... This sculpture is made from polymer clay [sculpey] products. I used wood, copper wire, foil, tape, sculpey original, super sculpey, and sculpey III. Minor paining was dome to the mouth with acrylics. This was then shellacked for a shiny, protective finish..
Feel free to ask any questions if yo have them, but most should be covered in the "series" I made constructing this...

Wow, I'm always amazed at your work, but this one was just crazy! The amount of scales....but even more, the amount of patience in detail that you put in your work is just amazing! This is real art! Haha. I'm sure this final sculpture will be awesome whenever you complete it! :)

I think this is amazing....you did a beautiful job....bravo to you and you have tons of patience too.

This is a great project and the scale advise is much appreciated. I'm actually making a figurine of Medusa and finding tips on scale creation can be tricky to find. :)

[CanOfMagic]

looking great, I like the new way you made the scales!

[CharlesStruble]

Tom, very very cool technique for scaling this baby! I like your editing technique also. Gives the info but doesn't get boring watching repetitive actions. Nice, man, nice...

[thecraftcuckoo]

Hey Tom, loving your video's. I was just wondering how and where you store your pieces when you're not working on them without them picking up dust etc? Keep the video's coming!

[sokztastic]

@TheBroodingTom i was really impressed by your skills and patience. Well done sir and keep it up! :)

[TheBroodingTom]

@TheBabbleBeast No problem at all!!
I'm unschooled (in art) and still kinda new, but none-the-less, I share! Thank you!!

[TheBroodingTom]

@ThePennyProductions I really appreciate the kind word.. It was mostly filming and editing... normally it would have taken a couple days to do this, but with the editing it went slow.. but it looks pretty cool! I feel its time well-spent. Thank you.... and I hope it does turn out well too.. =O

[TheBroodingTom]

@Banaan677 um.. not sure if I could so soon, but a wolf or worg is DEFINATELY on my list... Thanks for the suggestion!

[TheBroodingTom]

@chavvysavvy1 Thank you, I really appreciate that, I'll try.. lol... glad you stopped back by too!
Thanks for liking!! YAY! =D

[TheBroodingTom]

@kittysusca =D Thank you so much!! What a awesome comment, You rock!

[jadambi]

Umm can i give you a suggestion. you should try making an ocarina out of clay and make a tutorial i really want to make one but theres not really a good tutorial out there and so far ur tutorials are the best ive seen

[TheBroodingTom]

@TheLionsDenNews Wow... I really appreciate that man.. I was very relieved to have that uploaded.. I nearly lost the file due to "memory allocation" error.. which is BS cause I have have over 600GB left of 1T... I just need to do big projects (extensive editing) into smaller segments, then just load up all the files and mix them down.... I ought to continue right along with other half and finish the head on another project then just put them together!!

[TheBroodingTom]

@TheDarksEmpyrean Wow... thank YOU!! I'm sure glad you like it!!

[MzNerdyB]

this is very AWESOME... what type of material was the cobra before U added the clay?

[TheBroodingTom]

@CanOfMagic Thanks! And ya, its much faster this way.. ESPECIALLY if you decide to use just a single color!!
I did 4.. it was so slow... lol

[TheBroodingTom]

@CRAFTSANDSTUFF09 LOL.. I was still trying to figure out what bug?... Then I remembered the beginning!!!! Ya, that was a scale (stop-animation) !! It took 66 photos to animate that "bug" =D Thanks for reminding me, I'll update the description..

[_KingQuinn_]

[TheBroodingTom]

@MimisaysRAWR Sorry for the late reply.. I never made a charm before.. and I'm clueless as to what prices should be too.. =/ I DO think its cool that your mom likes Pacman tho! lol. Thank you so much for the complement and support!
