Refining the Ribs, Clavicle, Scapula and Sculpting the Humerus for the Skull Project

After refining the shapes of the Ribs, Clavicle, Scapula, I sculpted the upper part of the Humerus. I then attached and supported them with wires.
This time I used a new wood glue called "Titebond" on the piece to give it strength.

I've learned a lot from your videos. More detailed than most medical videos. Thanks for posting.

[@SkulpTools]

Ah Bijan, it's such a pleasure to watch your wonderful work! I have missed your sculpting videos and hope to see more soon. Be well m'friend!

[@Liberty_Valance]

+SkulpTools SkulpterAz Thank you very much Shirley! I should really do that. I'm going to concentrate on that and see if I can get things going again. Thanks for your thoughts and take care. :)

[@LordRusty5]

I know this may sound insane, but I was hoping there were additional videos, where you would have completed the entire skeleton! Food for thought? But this was splendid!

[@namro95]

Really, i can't believe how awesome you are! I love the work you do! Thanks for these amazing videos! :)

[@Liberty_Valance]

+namro95 Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments! :)

[@huskywallAz]

@3DworlD2 thanks you for sharing your inspirational words god bless keep up the great art .work.Aaron

[@Liberty_Valance]

@huskywallAz Thank you! about 3 years ago I started to make models in Blender software. A year later I purchased ZBrush and made a few sculptures using it. Soon after I started sculpting in moist clay and then oil based clay. I am 61 years old, so you are not too old son! :)

[@WoM]

Interesting! So you can use Elmer's on Chavant to help protect it, and over time the clay itself will eventually harden right? Will it ever completely harden or will warmth always have a softening effect on it?

[@Liberty_Valance]

+World of MONSTERS No, the clay will not dry out. This is an oil based clay and it will always stay soft.

[@Liberty_Valance]

@hyperflexharrington5 Thanks for encouraging and complimenting comments! You are very kind! Happy New Year! :)

[@Vs2nice]

wow! you have serious talent :D

[@Liberty_Valance]

Thank you! You are very kind. :)

[@Liberty_Valance]

I have thought about doing that some day in the future.

[@lpineault]

@3DworlD2 Which brand of clay would you recommend purchasing? I am required to make a similar model for an anatomy course, and I am just curious which supplies I would need (tools, clay, size of pvc pipe) to mimic your model! Thank you.

[@Liberty_Valance]

@lpineault If you are asking about the Wire I used to hold the clay in place, it is like "Hobby Wire". I got it from our local Hardware Store.

[@hushamfuadi8707]

great work. Thanks

[@Liberty_Valance]

+Marcy Fuadi Thank you for your comments! :)

[@Liberty_Valance]

@anovasinn I put them on a shelf. That is correct, the clay won't dry and harden, except the air dry one. That is correct, I'm practicing what I have learned.

[@Liberty_Valance]

@v1806v Thank you very much! I'm glad it was useful. :)

[@Liberty_Valance]

@lpineault I think I used J-Mac Clay, the basic modeling tools and the PVC pipes were 1/2".

[@Liberty_Valance]

@EmuZSNES :) Thanks for your Positive comment! :)

[@huskywallAz]

@3DworlD2 wow thanks 4 sharing with me god bless

[@daniel22x]

[@Liberty_Valance]

@oton0702 Thank you very much for your kind words! :)

[@XephiousFlash]

Man.. imagine having it in your house for display and when your friend visits you he will be like DUDE? DID YOU BUY THIS??! and you will be like... i made it all by myself :)

[@Liberty_Valance]

@XephiousFlash LOL... I'll take this as a vote of confidence. Thanks! :)

[@huskywallAz]

just a question what is the best way to get a good result makit ng the scull.I mean what shape will I start with.I was getting News papper and building a ball of clay from that and then to start the chin area add a squire piece to it.Then I put two holes for my eyes and I build up around the eyes and cheek bones but I now feel I started rong.I just feel there is a better way to get the cheeks and noise to look better.If you can help me please do thanks agin Aaron.

[@ชาติพันธุ์พันธุ์สังสี-ณ8ฆ]

ขอบคุณ..ที่ทำให้ดูนะครับ.

[@Liberty_Valance]

You are welcome.

[@Liberty_Valance]

@anovasinn Thanks! Looking forward to see your new sculptures. P.S. I like the Russian accent you through in there sometimes. It sound like FPS Russia guy. :)

[@lpineault]

What materials do you use for the attachment sites? And which brand of clay do you use?

[@heffurmup]

do you bake this in the kiln afterwards? just wondering because of the elmers glue

[@Liberty_Valance]

@huskywallAz Start watching my "Sculpting a Human Skull in Clay_part-1" and continue watching part 2 and part 3.

[@Liberty_Valance]

@TheVs2nice Thank you! :)

[@Liberty_Valance]

@beachmonsterZ It is best to try to use a reference like a skull model or pictures.

[@Liberty_Valance]

No I haven't, but I had thought about it. Time seems to be of short supply. :)

[@jiyagurjar2858]

Hi I am a huge fan of your work Can you please do hip bone, and legs Thank you

[@Liberty_Valance]

[@omidasady8395]

Thanks. a lot

[@Liberty_Valance]

You are welcome!

[@Liberty_Valance]

This is as far as I go with the skeleton on this piece, but one day I might add some muscles to it, time permitting.

[@Liberty_Valance]

@FliesEye lol.. It does look a little creepy! :)

[@huskywallAz]

you are a genuse how long are you a sculpter?What age did you start?Im 33 and Im wondering am I to old to learn now?

[@Liberty_Valance]

@daniel22x Thank you!

[@Liberty_Valance]

No, oil based clay stays soft for a very very long time and is not fired in a Kiln.

[@ChrisGrgurovic]

Is the skeleton furthered? Would like to see more.

[@Liberty_Valance]

No I didn't go further than this. :)

[@25Daoss]

[@Pagol7373]

Could you make a mini skeleton including the feet and hands.

[@glitchyvisions_co]

[@MBStudiosArt]

Explain the purpose of the glue ... just to make it white or???

[@Liberty_Valance]

Mark Branscum Just to give it slight protection.
