Here is my first ever finished Humanoid: my Mermaid. I am pretty pleased with her - she was an experience to make and paint although Humanoids are much tougher to make.

The main difference with her is I made her with 2 different types of clay - 1 being Super Sculpey, which I have had a lot of experience with, and the other Cloud cla,y which was my first experience using. I made the rock she is sitting on (or appears to be sitting on) out of it and her hair as well. I really liked it for those things in particular as the fluffy texture of the clay allowed for me really get organic look. However I would not overly recommend this clay - it's fun at first although it dries REALLY quickly so getting any details is really really really tough.

Also I found these really awesome metallic paints that I found worked AMAZING! I had a ton of fun mixing them together to make the colors you see on her. Cloud clay absorbs all the paint you put on it, so I did end up using more for the Hair and Rock, but it all worked out.

I really like this picture because it really shows the tail designs.
