    The fact you were able to give Bowser such nice basic proportions without references shows how much all those past references have trained your eyes to know what looks right! Amazing stuff! I love how absolutely JACKED he turned out.

    One of the things I find most interesting about these videos is the way you come up with solutions to problems... that scale texture roller is absolutely ingenious! I work on a much smaller scale than you usually do, and my figures aren't entirely sculpted from scratch, but I honestly want to try some of the things I've seen you do next time I make something.

    Hiya Adam,
    First of all I love your videos :)
    You inspired me to make my own sculptures, but Ive got some questions regarding Sculpey...
    You tend to bake your clay during your working process, how often can you do that before the clay brakes or something?
    And after that can you just put new clay on top of it or do you use some glue (like bake and bond)?
    When I want to dirt-wash stuff it always destroys the colour beneath it. Do you have a secret special technique?
    One more question I always ask myself: What do you do with so many sculptures?
