Brilliant! I've read some of the Nightwatch books recently so this is fresh in my imagination!

I love his expression!

Are you baking these so they set? You could sell them :D
No doubt a Pratchett fan would appreciate that

This is made from Chavant, it's like plasticene so it can't be baked or made permanent. This one is going to be torn down to I can reuse the sculpting base. I might do a few in super sculpey but it can get expensive. Also finding time to properly finish things is hard, this one is pretty rough

Could you do them in clay and leave them to air-dry? That was you could sell them.

[fatkraken]

I don't like using an air drying medium because it dries as you sculpt, which limits things. I could use super sculpey, which is baked, but there's the cost and the fact that I take way too long making these for it to be worth selling

I am enjoying these! :)
