Thanks for your suggestion! Yes, I know the hair isn't right yet... I'm still working on them.

Great work!

What's the plans on the hair color? Are you going to be able to get it to POOF up more up top at all? That would be hard work to do. This is AWESOME WORK!!! I wish I could do that.
Thank you!
The hair color will be different. I just haven't got any other clay color for the hair. :smile:

Nice work so far! I, myself started a bust two years ago after buying two David Bowie life masks off ebay. The hair frustrated me so much he is now smushed into oblivian. Looking back, I think making a little wig for him would have been a better idea. It's hard to do his hair in clay since his hair was teased up so much and had all those long skinny strands hanging down all over the place.

You are very talented. I wish I was skilled in that area of art.
But my artistic talents don't go that far.
I love it!

Hair is really difficult, especially if you use anything else than real hair, and than it's still trying.

And the problem is that poofed up volumes hair is near impossible to sculpt. Have you tried sculpting some spikes?

But I love your work so far, I'm sure it will work out just fine.
