I recently finished an intensive workshop, by Steve Millard, on making maquettes for animation, video game design and action figures. My figure was based on a character from my children's book that I did during my last year of art school. This was made with Super Sculpey and took about 50 hours in total. This is the first sculpture I have ever done. More pictures to come after I have painted it.
Update: My monkey monk maquette has been gessoed and painted (see below). The finish was a lot more shiny than I had intended, even after I used matte medium in my acrylic paints. Next time I will try super matte medium...I find they just have an odd look to them when they have a shiny surface, unless it is supposed to be metal or something.
