large bat-like wings

[limion]

how would i make a good armature for those? off course i'd have to start with an armature for the large fingers, but i mean the fleshy parts in between. is super sculpey strong enough to hold/stay in it's place when it's really thin and over a larger area.

can anybody help please??

Okay!! Stop yelling.

Use alluminum wire for your armeture(the limbs), take metal storm window screen, cut it to the pattern you want for the membrane part of the wings, use small guage wire and attach it to the armeture. Thread the wire through like sewing on a button.

You'll end up with a from that has the exact shape of the wing, and you can add your Sculpey, shape it, and bake. The wire screen is more than strong enough to handle manipulation of the clay, and it's very nature means that the clay will not easily come off as you sculpt.

Capes can also be created with screen.

Hope that helps.:)

i understand the process and can see how it would work, but i don't really know what the storm window screen is i'm afraid. my english isn't all that great, sorry.
