Fantasy Sculpting"The Dragon of Argos" with The Shiflett Brothers |
Sample Clip
The comic book and fantasy statue industry has exploded in the last decade. In this DVD, acclaimed sculptors Jarrod and Brandon Shiflett show you how they create a sculpture for the industry using Super Sculpey®.

The brothers walk you through every step of that process, including armature construction, composition, anatomy, and detailing. They also discuss tools, materials, and the properties of polymer clays. In the candid back and forth between the two, they explain not only how they do what they do, but why.
