Well, after seeing many cute clay chibis from lots of members 'round, I thought I'd give it a shot and make my own. This idea mostly comes from Yuu-chan and her awesomely cute chibis. Go check them out at her thread!

Anyways, my first chibi is



Here's !! She doesn't look as good as , though. Have some pictures!



Here's !! I have to say, I think he looks better than .



!!!!! I forgot to make the glasses before I baked the chibi, so I had to paint it on her head. Stupid brothers and their late reminders...



Here's a comparison picture of all the chibis I've made so far!

With a Pikachu! :D

Here's ! For some reason, I kinda half like how I made him, and I kinda half don't.



!!! She's one of my favourite characters besides Polly. I kinda feel like I've screwed her up somehow....



! He's not my favourite character, so I don't really care how exactly he looks like...



Edit: !!! I like Machi, and now I feel like I screwed him up too....




I'm thinking of glazing the chibis, but I don't know if I should. Opinions?

I'm particularly fond of the magatama :D

They're cute! I could never make anything nearly as good. Yours actually LOOK like the people they're supposed to look like!

Thank you! I've had a bit of practice with Super Sculpey, so that's why they're kinda good. Though, I find painting to be a more difficult task than sculpting. If you ever want to make a chibi, here's instructions on how to make a base for a chibi.

First, take some clay and roll it into a ball. That will be your head. Then take some more clay, about the same size, if not smaller, than the head and roll it into a ball. Then form it into a kind of marshmallow shape. This will be the body. Take two small pieces of clay and roll them into cylinders. These will be the arms.

If you stick all of these together, you'll form a base for your chibi. But I wouldn't recommend stick the head and body together until you've finished the details. It's a lot easier that way. ...Just make sure the head actually sticks onto the body, or it'll fall off after you bake your chibi. Trust me, I know this from firsthand experience *coughKlaviercough*.

I don't think making chibis are hard. You just need some practice. Soon enough, you'll be making chibis as good, if not better, than these.

Bloody HELL, they're cute. I wanna steal them <3
That's one impressive Tsubasa collection you have there, btw.

They all look great!! I think a glaze on them would look nice, but even without it, they're great!

Thanks. But don't go stealing them!! D: I have all the Tsubasa manga released in North America so far.

^ Oh well I just read them on teh intarwebs like a cheap-ass theif :D
I think you should glaze them.
They're really adorable, you have quite a skill for these little figurines X3
I just wish more people would come see them D:

Thanks. In the end I decided to glaze them.... Should I post pictures?

Also, my mom wanted me to make something out of clay in exchange for making my cosplay, and I ended up making smaller, cuter versions of my chibis. I'll grab pictures later.
