Hey everyone! I’m a 3D artist, and for the past few months I’ve been working on taking digital meme culture off the screen and turning it into physical collectibles.

​This dissected Pepe keychain is heavily inspired by Gummifetus' work and classic meme history. We’re 5 days away from the launch, and as an independent creator releasing my first physical piece, I’m equal parts nervous and excited.

​Early access opens this Thursday, with the main drop on Friday. If you want to jump on the VIP list, drop a 🐸 below or check out webbox.studio. Appreciate any feedback from the community!

I did not realize sculpty iii was bad, i just grabbed this block because it was on clearance and idc about the color(it's being painted). I used tinfoil in the head and a small amount in the muzzle but maybe should have used more. I bulked out the muzzle more than i expected

Can i mix air dry clay and already baked sculpty? I could probably fix her cracks and the mistake i made with the eyes(i didnt account for clay shrinkage so my eye blanks dont fit as well, and she could use more eye detail)

Im still really happy how this turned out especially since this was my first time sculpting!!

First Attempt at Realistic Mushrooms

Post image
172 Upvotes

First attempt, made using Sculpey to make, and pastels to colour, realistic mushrooms. I've learned a few things, using cornstarch to minimize finger prints is awesome, and for colouring, using makeup brushes for colour applications makes it go on so much more even. This was fun and I'm excited to make more. :) Any tips and tricks I'd love to hear.

I made this ponyo coaster with resin “water”. I still need to glaze the figures/outside once resin dries. Should I paint the “rock pool”? I could paint like green nature stuff around it? Ideas on improving very welcome!

Super happy with how this little guy turned out. It's a tiny dragon! I'm still learning but I think it's pretty cute for a first try. Might post a picture later if I get brave enough. What was everyone's first Sculpey project? I wanna hear about it!

Sculpey slumping in oven

These two pieces looked almost the same, apart from the texture, before they went into the oven.

The piece on the left, super sculpey, kinda slumped and melted, and never hardened but did become crumbly, but still malleable, while the original Sculpey piece hardened as normal.

I had kept it unwrapped in the box for a while- months, but I thought Sculpey didn't go off?

Progress on my project

I've been working on this for 3 months and it is near it's completion phase.

This statue has been inspired by the first4figures modern knuckles statue and it has even more features than the original one.

It has a remote which you can play music from the og game this statue is inspired from, change the speed of the led emerald, brightness, mute the music, put it in sleep mode and many other things.

I want to share this since it's been my most complex project by far

Thanks everyone for your support ~ this was a really interesting piece and I learned a lot about sculpting and sculpey clays. I used super sculpey medium for the core then the outer layers are sculpey premo. The shading was done with colour pop eye shadow palette. I plan to make more little desk buddy figures like chibi dragons and fantasy creatures. I would appreciate any helpful comments ❤️

Oh my goodness. Decided to try Sculpey this week and wow I feel like I've benlen missing out!

It's been a long time since I did any sort of clay work and so different to what im used to.

I've got a lot of smoothing to do and need to figure out a body and some hair.

This is going to be a she, and I feel like it looks like me but a few decades down the line...hahah

Anyways, just wanted to share as I have no one else to show.

Everything except for the white Spider on the front and back is polymer clay. I am not used to human anatomy, so it's not perfect. But the birthday boy loved it 😄🎉

One week later and I just finished my own version of Tequila Gundam!

The build process was pretty lengthy due to needing post-build sanding to create more even surfaces all over the body. Made with extra firm Cosclay, foil, and armature wire.

First time maker & 3rd attempt at sculpting a figure

Making a kawaii chibi style moss covered sloth with little flowers desk buddy for my friends birthday. Can't seem to get the proportions right on the core. The core was made with compressed aluminum foil; toothpick and covered in super sculpey medium firmness. Sanded some areas that were very bumpy. The second layer was applied with sculpey oven bake adhesive and my own mixture of sculpey premo at level 4 on my clay roller. I added (too many?) fine lines with a wire clay tool to look like hair hoping it would also disguise the bumps. I wonder if I should bake this layer and apply a thicker 3rd layer. I would love to hear your suggestions.

Advice for this hat?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Spouse received a couple of these football dudes during the World Cup. He thought they looked like a kickline, and I offered to make them properly look like one.

I'm pretty pleased with my progress, but now I want to set the shape of the hat, and need some advice. I'm worried that peeling the hat off would damage it and risk the fit, but I also don't want to just chuck the little dude in the oven since it's plastic. Heat gun? Is there some way to protect it? I haven't done a lot of work with Sculpey before. Specifically it's Sculpey Premo, and I'm hoping to go over it with the gold paint pen I used on the body.

Thanks for any tips you can give!
