What a stunning piece!! I gasped out loud when you pulled the resin cast with that marbling effect, it turned out so cool!!

Thank you SO much! Haha, I let out a hearty "HELL YEAH" myself. After so many test casts, finally getting it right on the nose was SO satisfying.

Ohhh I love how the shades of pink and blue turned out! And the extra touch of the metalic shimmer is so nice, especially on the white parts of the sculpture where it's almost more subtle until it catches the light. Lovely!

Thank you so much! I worked really hard on getting the pink and blue just right. I original wanted the resin to have a pearlescent finish but the filler powder I used made that impossible. The metallic accents were the perfect compromise!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! That thickener really worked! That effect is pretty nifty. I really love the design. 😍 As always, thank you for sharing your process and knowledge with us!

Thank you! I was so stoked that I was able to pull off the effect the way I wanted it!

That marbling turned out so great! What's the benefit of having the isopropyl myristate? Is it to keep the clay from drying out from the alcohol?

@VerdantSculpts Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Isopropyl myristate is used to smooth Monster Clay. However, it's so strong, it can actually melt away detail on the sculpture. I cut it with isopropyl alcohol to cut back on that destructive quality. IpA alone isn't enough to smooth Monster Clay. Like you mentioned, it has a drying effect.
