Description
Artemis and Luna made out of Super Sculpey, Painted with cheap craft acrylics, and sealed with Sculpey Gloss. I had to use a twisty tie to keep Luna's tail from sinking while they cooled, post-baking, and I'm surprised it came out so well. They come apart, but go together. I couldn't help myself, Sailor Moon is just so sparkly and romantic!Related content

Basically I just fooled around with the super sculpey (I like it better than regular sculpey) until I figured out a way to get the shapes to look right. I start off with different circles and ovals that are the size I want and pinch and mold them until they look about right. I usually do the basic parts separately, like the back leg "thigh lumps" and the head, and then add them by smoothing the edges, then its easy to change the shape, but the basic amount of clay is right there (If that makes any sense.) I usually mess up the head a bit when I stick it to the body, so I don't do super detailed things until after I've added it. The ears I make by pinching the clay, and then I just smooth over the cavities that the pinching makes. It can also be helpful when you like a certain part to leave it alone for a little while so it will become more firm again so you don't keep messing it up when its super mailable. The tails were tricky because they kept wanting to droop (especially Luna's since its so long) once I got it to stay as best as I could I baked them, and when I took them out of the oven the tails still wanted to droop so while it cooled and finished hardening I used a twisty tie to keep it where I wanted it, and its solid enough now. I can also put up some "In Progress" Pictures to if you'd like, I think most of them I took when they were mostly finished though.

I've never made a tutorial before. I have in-progress pictures, but I don't have any from when I started... I might do one with another little sculpey thing(figurine?) though.

That is adorable...would make a fun couple of paperweights!

Thank you! I'm not sure they are heavy enough to be very effective though (maybe indoors when there is no breeze whatsoever haha.) I usually make cellphone charms/keychain type things, but I didn't add any hooks to them. I think they are...some kind of custom semi-fragile toys?

OooOOoOooo... what would it take to get a set on my desk??
Nifty! I've played with sculpey, but I'm not proficient with it. Had a few things I was wanting to take a stab at making, and failed epically.

I've actually had a few people interested in buying something like this, so I'm thinking about maybe selling a few similar things. I'll put something up here so people know if that happens, its mostly based on time and how committed I can be to the project (I get horribly lazy sometimes with commissions and things, so I don't usually commit XP)
I really like Super Sculpey, its fantastic. It is a lot of fun to just play around with it, because its really forgiving. What kind of stuff did you make?

Heh.. that's the funny part. After the couple hundred I've sunk into playing with it, never finished a single thing!!
However, my most noteable project with it was a Pip-Boy from the Fallout games. I was about half way through, had all the base done. It could be strapped onto your wrist with a velcro strap (it was in two peices, a top and bottom half, and had cut two slots on the back end of both peices and velcroed them together, and a single slot on the front for taking it off or putting it on). I even went far enough that I had already created a wrist cushion out of part of an old mattress cover (err, forget what its called. Looks a lot like an egg carton, that stuff!) and some soft material I got from Wal-Mart (yay redneck stores!)! Was working on the screen and knobs. I was going to have the screen setup so that I could insert my iPod in it and see about making a slim bar that could rotate over the edge of it and be screwed into place to hold it in (one on either side of it so it could not just tip out). Even had plans scetched out for making a button to push the sleep mode button on the iPod while it was setting in it. The knobs were going to be just cosmetic, with no real function. Thought about butting in a couple leds wired to a replaceable AA battery or something along the lines of, but never had plans to do it.
Then during a move, the base somehow fell out of the box I put it in while I was toting it across the drive way. Long story short, on the next haul, I found it in the middle of the drive crushed! So I gave up...

That is horrible! All that work! That's the worst!! It sounds like it was really cool! (I've never played Fallout, but I get the idea)
I usually stick to things that are relatively simple, just so it stays more of a fun hobby than anything, so what you made is really elaborate and totally impressive to me! I suck at anything that resembles machinery or tech for the most part, haha.

To tell the truth, I hadn't even dropped a bit of paint on it, so you couldn't really tell just by looking at it what it was. Looked like one big single colored, heavy (well, looked heavy, wasn't really all that much weight to it) thingy-ma-bob that had velcro on it. Well, that's the name my cousin dubbed it. Thingy-ma-bob with velcro on it.
When it was destroyed, I still hadn't completed the screen area that was going to house the iPod yet. That was still a little bit off, and none of it had been baked. So it was literally a pointless wristband at that time!
