The first step is to create an armature, which is essentially a wire skeleton, of your character. Using 12 gauge wire helps the skeleton to be nice and strong. This armature is inserted into a wooden base, and the joints are reenforced with epoxy putty. </div>

Around the skeleton, I put aluminum foil, which helps build up the sculpture, and helps the sculpey to not be too thick. Thinner Sculpey= less chance of cracking!</div>

This is Pharyl when he is roughed in, and without legs. It is best to smooth the sculpey as much as possible at this point because once it's fired, smoothing gets pretty tricky. I smoothed the surface of Pharyl with moisturizing hand sanitizer which seemed to work well because of the lotions and the alcohol. </div>

Before the paint was applied, I smoothed the fired surface with dental tools, wet/dry sandpaper, and fine grade steel wool. The final step is to spray with a matte grey primer. </div>
