It occurs to me the face could lend itself to all sorts of grumpy characters....

Sculpting Tips (Fright Radio)

The new episode of Fright Radio comes out today, so below you'll find the transcript for my segment on sculpting tips.  This one centers around the primary clay options for haunters.  As with last time, I've tried to give a few links where I can.
