Technical info:

- The piece stands almost 24” tall, including base

- Sculpted using mostly Chavant NSP Medium, with a little bit of NSP Hard for faces and accessories like belts, shoelaces, and book

- The monster was entire made of NSP Medium except for teeth, which were made using Super Sculpey Original. The orange/brown color came from over-baking the stuff and burning it slightly

- Armatures are made using mostly aluminum wires, with steel where necessary to hold up the weight

- The monster’s main structure is made from 9 gauge steel wires, bundled together with aluminum wires and epoxy putty. It is able to stand on its own without the base or additional support of any kind

- All told, this piece took over 45 sessions to complete. (I don’t know the real total. There are days especially towards the end where I worked on it but did not film the process)

- I promise the next one won’t take nearly as long lol
