Quote from: Kazzellin on April 07, 2017, 09:10:01 AMContrustive criticism: The claywork is good, though I notice you have a few rough spots - not-quite-smooth legs (moondancer look-alike) and nails marks/indentations where you don't want them (arm/shoulder of the orange one, and possibly some slight facial indents on the blue one; I can't tell if that's on purpose or not, since it seems to be on both sides). You're going to want to watch out for unwanted angles, as well; I'm seeing some where normally there wouldn't be any. It might be a good idea to use a cardboard curve or strait edge to compare your work to, so you don't have that issue. Some folks aren't picky about it, but there are others who might buy one then turn around and demand a discount because yadda-yadda-yadda. That being said, these critters are adorable ! I think you have a great concept here, and the execution is wonderful! I'm not seeing any fingerprint marks, which is always a good thing in clay, and I've no idea how you got the hair to stay put. I'm loving how you already have different poses for the two raptors, the bright colors are fantastic, as is your general concept. So much want! I look forward to seeing what other poses for the Glamosauruses you come up with, and possible seeing what the other side looks like as well! Please post most photos once you have the cuties on them! If you ever decide you want to make reproductions/a lot of them at one time withouth having to do all the forming work for each individual body by hand (like for selling at an art show, a convention, or for having more stock on etsy), you might want to peruse the products on smooth-on.com - I'm going to be using their Oomoo-30 this weekend to see how well clay works in it, as said molds are a bit squishy (in my experience), so I'm worried about deformation when the clay is pressed into it. You're supposed to be able to use them with no problem, though. Edited because I cannot spell. I believe shes been very busy casting these cuties in Resin I ordered a few and they look pretty awesome!visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThere are a few small imperfections, but these guys are so cool it doesn't matter to me!
