Okay, here's the second stage of the sculpt of the beast. I added a little tin foil to certain areas, like the chest and flanks of the armature to give it a solid base for what will be the heaviest part of the figure. (Hopefully allowing a cavity will create a lighter sculpt).
Applying the clay is quite laborious, kneading and rolling tiny 'balls' onto the armature, ensuring that there's adequate adhesion and that there's a reduced risk of cracking when the finished sculpt is fired.
Here's some images of stage 2, looks like a ball bearing gargoyle at the moment, but the basic anatomy has been shaped. Stage 3 will be where I use a little lighter fuel, or linseed oil to smooth out the surface and then I can add detail (my favourite part of the process).
So far, its going as planned (hope that's not a kiss of death! Lol!)
Enjoy the pics.
