Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 8:56 PM
Well to be honest, I was pretty distraught about the Okami contest and it took me down a few pegs and almost had me questioning my artistry. I normally don't let things like this get to me but for some reason it hit a nerve. Anyways I've almost recovered and was able to get back on my feet and get some pieces started. As the saying goes, "It's time to get serious!" Nah jk I'm always serious about my work and not to often will I say something like this in public but I really do think I do some damn great things! >=D

I don't think that all platilene contain sulfur. But like you said, I haven't seen "hard" without sulfur. I haven't tried making my own. You might want to try Chavant. It is like plastilene, has different levels of hardness, and is sulfur free.

Does all plastiline contain sulfur. i found some that says they don't but they only have soft [link] I've also read about making your own. Have you done or reccommend trying that? Is there a hard plastiline?

I'm aware of molding and casting as I have done a little myself but i do want to explore the whole making a figure from scatch world. Once i can get proper funds, I pland to do so heh. Thanks for your help!

Its really your preference. I use Castilene (Hard) cause it holds details better. While plastilene is good, it gets too warm too fast when I'm working on it. I find that I'm always smudging details when holding/turning it around. Castilene warms much slower, that's why I use a heat gun. I heat it up to sculpt general shapes and cool it down to do fine details.

The other reason I don't use plastilene is that it contains sulfur. Sulfur will cause molds to cure incorrectly. So if you do use plastilene, you have to seal the piece before you mold it... and I'm too lazy for that. :)

You do have to remember that these types of clays do not cure and cannot be baked. You have to make molds and casts. Thats a whole other beast to tackle. Lots to learn there and also not cheap. So its up to you really what your plans are. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll do my best to help out.

Your scratch-built stuff is wayyyy amazing! I want to be able to do some of that stuff someday too. Have you worked with plastiline? If so would you reccommend it for a beginner or just go straight to castiline?
