Sculpting my own character out of polymer clay - Meet Bob

I have created my own custom character named Bob and I wanted to make him a reality. I took some polymer clay and got to work sculpting away. The original idea was to make NFT's out of this but still working through how that all works. For now I am taking Bob in a different direction so stay tuned til the end of this video for an exciting announcement.

That idea about the cards is CLUTCH. I love that way of doing the giveaway!!

[TheDiad]

I think the trading cards are a great idea. And a fun way to get a chance at the sculpture. And supporting future artists too!

[johnkelley]

I think the cards are a neat idea and the sculpt looks fantastic! I think you have excellent skills in sculpting. Thanks for sharing this.

A couple of tips and tricks i learned:
1. Tape over the foil is good to help the foil keep its shape, and is easier to back track mistakes.
2. I take two wire (or one long wire folded in half), and twist it holding one end in plyers and the other with my power drill.
3. Baking curved surface... put in a loaf pan with poly fill. The poly fill will not catch on fire, but will avoid flat spots.
4. I bake flat pieces on bathroom tiles. Smooth or rough surface for even heating.
That is just what I learned that changed my sculpting process results.

So dope! Tracing cards are the way to go!

Awesome! One of my goals for this year is to sculpt my own designer/art toy, make a mold of it, and cast multiple resin copies from that mold.

Looks fantastic Dave! You should watch North of the Border. Adam is a sculptor and you could learn from him. Happy days and model on! 😎

[platonicbuu]

You make me want to try literally everything. I wish I had half your talent though.

Thank you, as always

I love it! I actually just started working with polymer clay. Small stuff for now but hoping to working up to some bigger figures once i get the hang of it

[BPCustomCreations]

Great character and card idea! I was actually sculpting with polymer clay when you posted this haha.
Will the cards ship international?

[tinyworldcreations]

Oh by the way. Might be too early to be asking but, do you think you will be at designer con again this year? Would be awesome to see you and your toy nerd stuff again!

[idiotluggage]

Great figure you made. Too bad I don't use Instagram, otherwise I would definitely pick up a card.
