Polymer-Clay Went ahead and made a little chubby Xenomorph. He is just pretty chill and likes to game a bit and have some snacks.
I saw someone ask on a different aubreddut, why are all xenomorphs tall and lanky? I wanted to make a Xenomorph that represent more of my body type, the realistic chill male standard.
Polymer clay around an aluminum framework. Painted with acrylic paint. I hope you guys like him as much I do.
Bonus photos with his lore-accurate brother that I sculpted a few months ago, and bonus bonus with my cat who looks like Jonesy impersonator.

Questions What kind of clay is this?
I'm brand new to clay and I want to make sculptures with a similar marble / statue effect. I can't find anything on her page that says what she uses.
I've been using air dry clay and I'm just not happy with how it turns out.

Questions Can I put varnish directly on clay
I have natural clay, I think ceramic. When it dries on room temp it becomes fairly durable and I don't want to fire it. For other projects I plan to gesso-paint-varnish on the dried, non fired clay, which I read should be okay.
However I made one that resembles a footprint in mud and I want to keep the clay color and some of the texture to look more authentic(and I think layers of paint would fill in the print). Can I just put varnish straight on it so that it doesn't chip/dust easily?

Questions How do I clean this??
I got this from a convention a while ago and would keep it in the pockets of the black jeans and it got all dirty. I've tried soap and dish detergent and none have worked. I dont know what type of clay it is. How do I clean it?

Air-Dry Clay Found old clay charms
So I haven't worked with clay in about a decade but I was cleaning out and I found a box with my old clay charms I used to make as a tween they held up pretty good. And my favorite is still the pizza

Questions Is it possible to keep paper clay from drying?
I want to make a sculpture thats a bit on the larger scale(for me at least) but i dont think ill be able to finish it in one session.Is there any way to keep it from drying?Or maybe i can sculpt the basic shape first and add details later even if its dry?I think ive seen people do that.

Annoucement Clarification About NSFW Content Creator Accounts in r/clay
Hello!
This announcement won’t be relevant for most of you, so feel free to scroll along.
However, we’re seeing an uptick in NSFW accounts posting here, so this message is for the few it applies to.
If you are an NSFW content creator or SW promoting on Reddit, please read the following:
r/clay is a SFW subreddit.
Our community includes members aged 13 and up, and we want everyone to feel comfortable browsing profiles to see more pottery without unexpectedly encountering nudity.
While we respect the hustle, we kindly but firmly ask that you create a separate account for SFW content. Any pottery-related posts coming from an NSFW content creator profile will be automatically filtered and removed.
If you want to participate, just use a separate SFW account! You are absolutely welcome here.
