JB, that is sooooo good, how tall is it? Seriously you rocked that Hulk!!!!!
What kind of sealer do you use? I had bought some craft polyurethane spray, to seal my pieces, only to find out that it ends up feeling sticky. It NEVER feels completely dry. But I have found a really great product that I LOVE, it is a little expensive per ounce, but well worth the cost. It is in the model section of the craft or hobby store, it's made by Model Master, it is the Lusterless (Flat) . Also what I love about this product is if you have a piece that is sticking from the old sealer, if you spray this Model Masters over it , it seals up the sticky spray.
Also buy yourself a small toaster oven and an oven thermometer to cook your smaller pieces in, it saves on having to heat the oven up .( If you will be doing busts you can buy a taller one). Well worth the purchase.
So what are you going to work on next? :0)

GREAT work, JB! It's positively uncanny how much that unpainted piece LOOKS like a John Byrne drawing -- or, rather, like a John Byrne drawing depicting Kirby's original work. AWESOME!

Awesome Hulk! Kind of inspires me to go out and try to sculpt a figure or bust of my own!

I guess that's to be expected. I don't know how REAL sculptors work, but my approach is to literally DRAW the forms into the clay.

Maybe you should discuss to a "special guest sculptor" appearance for Bowen designs -- team up with Randy and produce something through his studio. I'm sure fans would like the idea.
A "sculpted by Byrne" Fantastic Four MB set or something.

I've made a claymation film before, and I bought a plastic terrarium at the dollar store once and created a couple of small alien life forms to inhabit it because I thought it would be a cute gift for someone, so sculpting isn't entirely foreign to me. I've just never thought of working with something more permanent.
Super Sculpy can be dried and hardened in a conventional oven, with no need for a kiln, right? I'm thinking next pay day...

Brad you should post the claymation video on youtube.
Scupley is great, it bakes in the oven. I hope JB inspires everyone to start customizing and we get some action in this thread.
JB what color sculpey did you use? I loved the unpainted piece, as much as I did the finished painted piece.

Jodi - I can't, it was a university art project and the only copy I've got, if I've still got it, is on VHS. It was the story of Theseus vs. the Minotaur, with Theseus walking into the Minotaur's home and attacking him for no good reason. The Minotaur was blue (being an ancestor of Paul Bunyan's ox) and he had a portrait of his mom (a fridge magnet version of an Andy Warhol cow print) and a dart board with a dart sitting in the bullseye. Can't remember all the other references we got in there, but it was pretty sad to see him die.
Theseus, incidentally, killed him with the Master Sword, which Zelda fans could guess I stole from a Link figure I own.

Excellent work JB!The hair looks great, but the ears are really impressive.Sculpting an open mouth is tricky too but you nailed it. The expression and everything!Knowing that you've sculpted other figures in the past, I'm a little surprised you don't feel the compulsion to do it more often. Thanks for sharing.

I'm very impressed with that Hulk sculpt, JB. I've always
wondered how many comic artists could sculpt if they wanted
to. While there are obviously big differences in the arts,
there seems to be a lot of correlations as well.
