My First Baking Project -DONE!-

Just like pretty much everyone else, I fell in love with Queen Chrysalis~ So, I'm making myself a custom of her. I've included some WiP pictures of her (the drilling for the 'swiss chesse effect' went wonderfully ).


Her horn, mane, tail, and wings will all be sculpted on. Thing is, I've never done this before ^^; I think I've read somewhere that G4s have some difficulty in the oven, is this true? If so, is there anything I can do to make sure this doesn't end in disaster? Besides melting, I'm afraid the head may warp and not fit the body anymore, or the clay shrinking and looking off.

Any help is appreciated!

---UPDATE---

She's all done! Actually, she's been done for a while, I just haven't had a chance to upload her pictures ^^;





I'm really happy with how she turned out The whole process was very educational and fun. I'm actually considering doing another one to sell, or at least do commissions.

I uses water to help spread the heat evenly. But you should have no problem.
Here is a link to what I did. I baked a G4 with no problem, here is how (warning big pictures)

Thanks everyone And that thread helped quite a bit MsGatamon!
I've got the hard part done, now I'm on to the tedious part: painting! I've attached the completed baked Chrysalis. I think she's looking pretty good so far.
