I have been following a sculptor named Ruben Orozco Loza and wondered how he made his silicone heads. They are miniature but hyper realistic and so amazing. Your sculpture examples are so beautiful too!
It is sticky but I really like it gets quite hard fast even at room temperature (which makes you able to work without an armature) and can be softened quickly with a heat gun or heated tools. It's almost like working with wax. Also it smells good and washes off easily of your hands. I recently bought a package of Monster Clay. First time trying it. What are the advantages of this brand in your opinion? I wish they'd had other colors available apart from the terracotta. (there's the new grey one but it's only available in medium consistency)
Shelby Damnwird well after using monster clay I find chavant to be too sticky on the tools . Monster clay just doesn’t stick on the tools at all. And on your hands it doesn’t usually stick but if it sticks even a little you can use another piece of clay to remove the stick pieces. Chavant sticks under the nails and in between the nail and the skin. Monster is more like wax than the chavant and well while the chavant medium is slightly softer than the monster medium of you heat the monster you can make it very very soft and even melt it down to water consistency. It also gardens and even becomes harder in the same room temperature and also you can easily make on it texture with tools over a plastic film without the clay sticking on the plastic film at all kinda like sculpey. And of course you can use it with wax tools . Also seems to be stronger without armature than chavant. And is less prone to inner clay bubbles from heating the clay. It’s not feeling oily on the hands and it doesn’t have any smell at all (or at least nearly no smell at all. Less than the chavant for sure.) and when you’re done or you wanna touch you’re phone or computer while working, no need to even wash hands. They are just clean.
The only bad thing about this clay is that it doesnt get well with water at all. Sculpting using water is not an option. But i am talking more about cleaning part - you really need place where you are not afraid to have messy room especially when you have these small chunks after carving so this and many other profesional materials like this is more for people with small workshop Great video btw! VEry informative and amazing scultpure!

There are so many great sculptors out there! Stay inspired!
I love your techniques
What clay are you using?
Very nice...great video too, done well.
Thank you very much!
I like how you cut out the eye and moved it down
Hey thanks!
Looking forward to more videos. Very informative. Thanks
Cool! Glad you liked it!
Amazing! Chavant clay is the same of oil based or water based clay?
@@ximenariano4983 its oil based
@@ximenariano4983 Oil based and waxy. Has no sulfur, so it cooperates with platinum silicones.
I don't like NPS I got the soft and still hard to keep soft .I like RAMOA.
Excellent tutorial thanks 🙏😊
Hello there. Glad you liked it.
It’s bad compared to the monster clay. Too sticky on tools and of course your hands. The “soft” one is even completely unusable.

Stelios Kapet Thanks. Can't wait to try it out 😊
So many clay bodies, such little time. :)
