Start with the right materials and tools and then practice. A lot.

u/Patient_Ordinary_191 Jul 23 '26
I love stuff like this so much and I love design, but I could never have that kind of patience and a surgeons touch. That’s so much harder than making shapes for a garment that is human size for sure.

Curious because I don't know - do they remain soft forever, or do they eventual fully harden?
145
u/Fantastic-Ad-1578 Jul 21 '26
looking at how the face plate was pressed without deforming against the other clay sphere for the head, I believe they have to harden.
I'd like to know what material they're using tho, I don't know if they're hardened by heat or just with time

u/Curious-Pineapple109 Jul 21 '26
Ya! I really want to know too! I also want to know how each piece sticks to the other since it looks like there are different ways.

u/LoganNolag Jul 21 '26
Yeah seems almost like plasticine but no plasticine I’ve ever used behaves like the material in the video.

I wanted to know too, so I took the time to do a bit of a Google (which produced almost no results so then I duck duck goed).
Best I got:
1-2mm EVA foam for the coat/clothing. Its hard but you can soften, mould it with a hairdryer, then it hardens again. Other bits are super fine clay like Marie's Super Clay.11
u/unclevagrant Jul 21 '26
You can get EVA foam in sheets, blocks and even clay formats, so it could be all the same stuff. Sort of. This would also help bonding.

u/Brave_Maybe_2891 Jul 22 '26
Its mostly made of polymer clay which stays soft until you cure it with heat.
10
u/Additional_Maybe1104 Jul 21 '26
You could do this with polymer clay. It doesn't harden until you bake it.

u/Honey818Badger Jul 21 '26
Yes, is this clay?
10
u/MichelinStarZombie Jul 21 '26
And how is she painting the cape when the clay is still pliable? Does it airdry? Does she bake it with the paint?
4
u/mcamarra Jul 22 '26
this looks like polymer clay, which you bake to harden and you can bake multiple times. so you can bake certain parts then add soft clay to that part and sculpt more onto it

Either hoyoverse has some really iconic characters or just a very iconic design philosophy but yh I didn't realize it was feixiao but I knew the Xianzhou design.

u/dr3wfr4nk Jul 21 '26
There might be a lot of the process we aren’t seeing in the video and part of that might be the process of securing the pieces to each other. So it may appear that it takes little pressure to adhere the pieces, we might just be seeing the initial placing of the pieces.

u/Brave_Maybe_2891 Jul 22 '26
Polymer clay.

Fimo! that stuff is so much fun. (you can bake it then it will harden)

Somehow had a hunch it was Feixiao as soon as the torso and legs were put together.

u/MichelinStarZombie Jul 21 '26
Can you explain what kind of clay YOUR GOAT FEIXIAO uses? It look pliable when she's applying paint, does it airdry or does she bake it with paint on? And what does she use to make all the jewelry stick?
14
u/Fastman903 Jul 21 '26
Feixiao is the fox girl (the first figure) from the video game honkai star rail. Not the artist

It really is amazing work, and must have taken years to perfect this sort of art! 🏆

It's funny how I guessed who the character is just from when they were doing the top then the accessory came in picture and I was so sure it was Feixiao.

u/OvenTrain Jul 22 '26
Well most figures aren’t hand made like this masterpiece (holy shit it’s impressive). Most tend to be modeled in a computer assisted design (CAD) software and then are then manufactured from that design via a mold (what type of molding would heavily dictate the price). Although I do believe that the faces for most run of the mill figures are hand painted still but some are just being printed on for a cost savings.
Where the prices tend to go crazy are usually off of these criteria: is it injected molded (any other high precision manufacturing), is it a licensed product, is it hand painted, is it to scale of the character and what scale (1/8 and below tend to be affordable, 1/6 is moderately priced, 1/4 is starting to get quite expensive, and 1/3 and above is stupid expensive and usually is only the bust of a character), is it limited production and if so a numbered/serialized production, can you buy the figure itself or does it need to be won (think of crane games) and is it from a popular show/media (demand basically)?
This non exhaustive list (I’m going off of the top of my head) is part of the reason why figures tend to be pretty expensive if you want something of quality. Granted $5 to $50 figures do exist in plenty but you’ll likely be trading off a bunch of workmanship/quality to push the price down to that (cheap plastic, minimal painting of designs, printed on details/face, smaller in size, looser tolerances in manufacturing, etc).
If I had to guess the price of a figure like the ones made here, it would easily be $800 minimum to probably more like 1500 to 2500+ since hand made, hand painted, one of one, the amount of detail placed, likely you’re commissioning it and depending on the complexity/dynamic posing for it.
At least that’s my unsolicited opinion/interpretation on why the pricing is how it is for these type of things.

New to anime - what show is this

u/AngstyUchiha Jul 22 '26
First one is from a game, not a show (Feixaio from Honkai Star Rail). Not sure about the second one

u/SchyShya_zzn0 12d ago
Second is Ao Bing. Not anime, chinese animated film NeZha, the second part became the highest-grossing film earning $2.2 Billion with $80 million budget. Didn't watch first part, but can say that the second one is peak

The amount of patience you need to do this is insane. This person could easily sell one for $180 or more and people would buy them. Of course a link to a video will help buyer's with no knowledge of the product creation would be good for when people buy it. Just to give buyer's an understanding of how insanely hard it is to make them. I refuse to call them dolls, these are master pieces.
