Sculpting My German Shepherd in Monster Clay

- This is our German shepherd, Circa. If you have ever noticed a hair in a close up shot of one of my video's, its most likely his. In celebrating the anniversary of his gotcha day (day we adopted him from the shelter), I wanted to try sculpting him in Monster clay!
This is a pretty straight forward traditional clay sculpture. However, I did try something new with mounting the armature wire. I used a mini swivel head bench vise that was modified in order to hold a small piece of Plexiglas as a backing. This worked well and allowed me to change the position of the sculpture on the fly.

Your great at sculpting your underrated I hope you get more subs
Thank you so much!
Beautiful work!!!
Thank you so much 😀
i hope i can make a clay sculpture of my dogs too lol, you should make a video painting it that would be fun to watch
I haven't tried painting my sculptures but that would be fun :)
It’s a bit easy and hard at the a same time it depends on what breed your sculpting like a chihuahua and shih tzus are quite easy to sculpt for me I post some clay creations in my channel some of them are hard to make or really simple, and it’s also what dog you make a simple and easy one with not a lot of details only things that can make you tell it’s a dog or things like this amazing German Shepard that he made which is hard and but astonishing.
This guy has skills
Un delito que no te siga mucha gente menudo arte lokooooo
Muchas gracias
Wonderful
Thank you!
Can you make this dog out of polymer clay? That’s what I’m going to use - also amazing work love it!!
Beautiful work! Are you going to make a mold of the dog?
Thank you! I'm considering making a mold of it but haven't done anything with it yet. It might make a good wall mount to hold his leash come to think of it 😁
@@GraceNoteForge That's a fantastic idea.
Great keep it up
My l ask you question my clay color is grey is Good for sculpting and how do l warm it up
Thank you. I normally heat mine up in the microwave for a few seconds at a time until the clay is soft, but this only works with monster clay because it's an oil/wax based clay.
@@GraceNoteForge ah thanks because my clay is as hard as rock it worked
Beautiful sculpture. Can I see some Sculpture geek influence? That’s a compliment :)
Also what is the table clamp / mount / stand / please?
Thank you! I wish my videos were as good as his lol
That is a table ball joint vise that I modified to hold a piece of acrylic board. I like using it for holding sculptures because I can change the position of the piece to work on hard to reach area's.
Just ordered one thanks!
Anytime 😊
What's the wire hoop tool called you used for the fur called please? The ones that look like a spring?
Those are homemade sculpting tools made from old guitar strings. The small ridges on the string work great for raking over the surface of the sculpt to help even it out. 🙂
@@GraceNoteForge its amazing so beautiful.
Did you the bake it and then carve afterwards?
Normally I put the monster clay in the microwave for a 30 seconds at a time until it became soft and easy to form. When the clay cools back down, it becomes much more firm and can take detail much better.
Would that work on polymer clay?
@@marie-charlotteporter4335 I don't believe so. I don't use polymer clay but I think it is plastic based, so I wouldn't heat it in the microwave. Monster clay is wax based so heat will make it softer. I think polymer clay cures with heat.
Bruh you could have just dunked your dogs head In a molding solution lol
Lol he might not be too happy with me after that 😂
