Hi tobias, Jordu is using Chavant NSP Medium clay. It's a non-sulphuric clay that is a preferred choice for many creature creators, along with WED clay, Monster Clay and Super Sculpey. -Matt
Abraham Lizaola Jordu is using Chavant NSP Medium clay. It comes in a variety of colors, a lot of teachers and schools use the terra cotta color, so it looks different from the gray that Jordu is using in the lesson. Jordu cuts it into pieces, but it comes in thick blocks. He also warms it before he sculpts with it. Hope that helps! -Maggie
kenpocobrakai, Agreed. Jordu is in a league all his own. We've got another incredible lesson with him coming out in the next few weeks. Watch for it! -Matt
It's called Plasteline. It's an oil based clay so it will never dry out and can't be fired. You use it for sculptures that you want to keep for a long time. (Either as a reference or a model that will be used by others)
Not sure either myself. Once you get away from the true clays, like Chavant and WED clay you're into chemical compounds that share some properties of clay but not others, like Super Sclulpey which you have to fire to harden. Another amazing clay-like compound to explore is Adam Beane's Cx5, a TRULY amazing substance that you can both melt like chavant AND harden/tool like magic-sculpt. It's extraordinary. - David
Hi xxxLEGO16xxx, Jordu is using Chavant NSP Medium clay, a very popular clay for smaller scale work (appliances, maquettes, busts) among Creature FX artists. -Matt
Many who use sculpey build on armatures that can be removed from the base and fired. But you can use clay if you want to put it in the oven with the sculpey. - David
Thanks for the extra push. It's a dream right now; I have many divergent priorities right now so maybe in a few years when my time is my own again, I can look toward pursuing my art again. At least I have a point in the right direction how to begin. Thank you. :)
Jordu makes all sorts of armatures. This one is a bit beefier. And Simon Lee is a master of floral wire and super delicate structure for Dynamic Posing. Go check his lesson out at the site! sculpture-techniques-how-to-sculpt-dynamic-characters - John
hey ken322able1! No! You can't fire this puppy at all unless you plan to do a CLAY POUR! Chavant will liquify. You need to mold this and cast it to get a hard piece out of it. And you certainly CAN do that with the armature wire inside... Keep sculpting! - John
I´'ve been following the work of Jordu from some time now, ever since I decided to follow a similar path, I consider him one of my mentors, though I´ve never met him, but hopefully I will some day. Jordu is a great artist, specially good with expressions and portraits, I would've liked to see more of that in the video, like a humanoid alien, or maybe a subject for another lesson? (just a thought). Anyway, I'm going to enjoy and learn watching this lesson. Regards.
TheSneezingMonkey, Jordu Schell is a brilliant artist and an equally brilliant instructor should you ever wish to learn how he does what he does. -Matt
where do I get that kind of clay? what is the technical name for that? sorry for the noob question but I am kind of new to traditional sculpting mediums
Hey Manni, We are an ONLINE Character Creation workshop featuring streaming tutorials and DVD lessons by the Masters of Monster Making. All you need to do to get started is go to our website! See the video description for the link. -Matt
0SixHundred, Of course we're biased, but Jordu Schell is one of the most brilliant character sculptors alive. To spend a few hours learning from him will be money well spent. If you disagree, we'll give you a full refund. -Matt
John nobato, Thanks for sharing this. Jordu's definitely one of the best in the business. You can check out more of his #sculptingtutorials at our website: www.stanwinstonschool.com. -Matt
This came out awesome. I got into clay modeling also but I didnt know if there was a different way go harden it verses the air dry clay and oven bake clay.
I have one I have been picking at for a few months now, just for the fun of it. I have some in progress photos of it. I find the biggest obstruction I get regardless of how skilled I am, is the lack of a degree or diploma. Heck, I wanted to buy clay to play with my daughter and was practically asked for a CV just to get a pound of fancy mud. I entirely agree with your suggestion, however I have been kicked so often for trying that well, gunshy doesn't begin to cover it.
Wow such a great channel on the art of sculpting love the video! I have a few questions hope to get answered I was wondering, one of my favorite action figure company's such as the four horse men do sculpting such as this and I was wondering would you guys happen to know what kind of sculpting clay they would most likely be using like brand wise? Or perhaps recommended brands?
how much you were able to give dynamism in this small sculpture seems almost real .. I live in Italy and here the material "silicone Clay" that you use is practically impossible to find .. I'd love to be as good as you .. I would spend my life to do it ..
Is this still on your site? I didn't see it when I was a member earlier this year, and I searched high and low as this is exactly what I was looking for! :-(
Hello Stan,I have watch some and search process of smoothing out the piece, but I can't achieve that perfect point yet.What may I be doing wrong, or not doing it... I have used lighter fluid, alcohol and tupertine with rough then soft brush... but without sucess.Do you have any video where it shows the process of it? I would really appreciate it, thanks.

Very well done.. Love the proportions and the action even though it's static in it's pose.. you feel force and projection.
Jordu is such a "monster" of those arts. Best tip never mentioned by all the others : Patience.
You can get sculpey at almost any hobby store, or online from the sculpey website, polymer clay superstore, blick art supplies or even amazon - David
Sure Manni, our video tutorials are all online. Go to our website and check them out! - David
I am sculpting for the first time and I like watching videos like this.They are very helpful. And I love the piece in this video.

Jordu Schell is a master! I love this lesson, i've bought it a couple of years ago and i've watched it a bunch of times.
Thanks for the recommendation, Phaidon Nicola, glad you dig it. - David
That is a clay loop tool. Shannon Shea teaches a mini lesson at our website on how to make your own. Look it up there. - David

Love these videos 👍thank you so, so
much for uploading 🙂🙂
The website comments, here or our Facebook page are all good ways of talking to us. - David

Uh, I dunno, prammavenTV, do I want to know what you used for the wax component? - David
Simply amazing! Quite inspiring job indeed!
Kevin, you can get sculpey and other polymer clays in Italy at Ferrario, S.P.A. in Bologna. Check their website. - David
I have one of Jordu's DVDs and he's an excellent instructor - I'd highly recommend learning from him, if you're willing to put in the time and effort.
Well I must say, as the first video that I have seen you do, I am most impressed by your knowledge!
You, Sir are a great sculptor! Thank you!
Wow breathtaking... the detail is gorgeous, you are remarkable.
wow awesome sculpture of my favorite movie character of all time
Wow! You are sooooo talented. I imagine that the hardest part of sculpting should be the face? Facial expression is the hardest part.
Gracias por los subtítulos! Agradezco mucho la lección gratuita ,tal vez sea corta,pero se aprende muchísimo con grandes consejos!
Jordu uses Chavant NSP Medium for this sculpt. - David

This is a lovely model! I highly admire the skill that's needed to create something like that!
TheSneezingMonkey, Jordu Schell is a brilliant artist and an equally brilliant instructor should you ever wish to learn how he does what he does. -Matt
Amazing! I must learn how to have more patience, hehe!
Sounds great MY, please post it on our public FB wall. - David

The type of the clay is Chavant NSP Medium clay. You can get it on eBay. - Balázs

Una verdadera obra de arte Felicitaciones
wow! Spectacular!
That is absolutely awesome!
Intriguing. - David
Turely amazing sculpture thanks for the video very helpful
Awesome.
I wonder if he ever used floral wire, like the Shifflett Brothers do. They say it holds the clay better.
I am not sure if this question had been asked before but what clay did you use ?
Awesome work!
thx!! u are so kind, there is other way to talk to you? i have lots of questions, but i will take a look of the website
this man is incredibly talented. wow.
It's all in the lesson. - David
0SixHundred, Of course we're biased, but Jordu Schell is one of the most brilliant character sculptors alive. To spend a few hours learning from him will be money well spent. If you disagree, we'll give you a full refund. -Matt
Great video!
With a nice little armature. See it all in the lesson. - David
best style among all sculptors
John nobato, Thanks for sharing this. Jordu's definitely one of the best in the business. You can check out more of his #sculptingtutorials at our website: www.stanwinstonschool.com. -Matt
Stan Winston School is just awesome!!! great stuff!!! each piece is a masterpiece!!
Thanks for the kind words, fastwalker2. And thanks for being a part of the SWSCA community! -Matt
god in heaven you make this look so simple!!
This came out awesome. I got into clay modeling also but I didnt know if there was a different way go harden it verses the air dry clay and oven bake clay.
Can you please do 1 video tutorial on the proportions of a human foot and how you make it out of clay? Thank you.
I have one I have been picking at for a few months now, just for the fun of it. I have some in progress photos of it.
I find the biggest obstruction I get regardless of how skilled I am, is the lack of a degree or diploma. Heck, I wanted to buy clay to play with my daughter and was practically asked for a CV just to get a pound of fancy mud.
I entirely agree with your suggestion, however I have been kicked so often for trying that well, gunshy doesn't begin to cover it.
Totally agreed, patience is the main key, each creation may always take longer than u think..
What do you use for the base? I have super sculpey and an oven, I was wondering what I can use for the base and bake it afterwords.
simply WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Do you think some of these type sculptures can be created with air dry clay?
Jordu is a sculpting god!
Wow such a great channel on the art of sculpting love the video! I have a few questions hope to get answered I was wondering, one of my favorite action figure company's such as the four horse men do sculpting such as this and I was wondering would you guys happen to know what kind of sculpting clay they would most likely be using like brand wise? Or perhaps recommended brands?
Brilliant!
what is the matterial witch did used by you for creating of thi sculpture?
I think this is awesome. I really want to start modeling characters I've drawn. Can you tell me what type of wire did you use for the armature? Thanks
S Paulin In this tutorial he uses 1/16”, 1/8” and 3/8” aluminum armature wire.
Hi,can you tell me what is the clay name or brand/type you using for this sculpture?
So inspiring!
Great job and very realistic .
Great I'm going to watch all your videos, but please, what is the name of the clay or wax, what do you recommend.
Thanks
this video is amazing
how much you were able to give dynamism in this small sculpture seems almost real .. I live in Italy and here the material "silicone Clay" that you use is practically impossible to find .. I'd love to be as good as you .. I would spend my life to do it ..
Are there any universities for sculpting or animatronics?
Wow, amazing pose, interesting how a pose can make of a sculpure can seem like its alive..
Thanks Stan
Is it possible to show how you did the skeleton?
Is this still on your site? I didn't see it when I was a member earlier this year, and I searched high and low as this is exactly what I was looking for! :-(
Here it is: bit.ly/humanmaqyt - Balázs
Amazing :-) Thank you for sharing
Does this clay material harden? or does it stay in a mouldable state?
+masterofhens, Chavant clay is oil-based and remains moldable unlike water-based clays that will dry out over time. -Matt
This might sound stupid, but what type of clay is this and where can u get it looks nothing like the type at my school ours is light brown and thick
Nice work :-)
what kind of clay/brand did you use?
Hello Stan,I have watch some and search process of smoothing out the piece, but I can't achieve that perfect point yet.What may I be doing wrong, or not doing it... I have used lighter fluid, alcohol and tupertine with rough then soft brush... but without sucess.Do you have any video where it shows the process of it? I would really appreciate it, thanks.
cool sculpt
thank you ! :)
Que material e esse que ele usou ??
Você é o CARA!!!
What material are you sculpting with? It kind of looks like sculpey to me but not completely.
I believe it's chavant clay. - David
what clay do you use for maquette?
duy vo Jordu is using Chavant NSP Medium clay.
Can you make it hard as block after made it??
Cool!
What clay is used for these?
¡EXCELLENT!!!
Where could I get those metal things from???
where do u get ur clay from
which is the material?
Seeing him touch it with a torch just gave me an epiphany
