More work on Derecho's glove sculpt (did I mention that this would take a while?). The texture on the first hand is really coming along now, so with any luck I may get through that one today.
ALSO Many of you have noticed that Ustream 'improved' (read DESTROYED) it's chat room function. Here's a direct link to the chatroom: http://www.ustream.tv/channel-room/2893097 use that instead.

Price Estimate Calculator!
Our costume price estimate calculator has launched!
Check it out here!
Use it to figure out how much you might need to save up for your costume, or just play with it!
And of course, as mentioned in the disclaimer, this calculator does not encompass the full realm of costume feature possibilities. It only covers the more popular features. Of course, you can still use it to get a ballpark estimate. Generally though, very unique designs will need to be more individually quoted.
Also, price estimates from the calculator are not final quotes! There's a good chance that the price is accurate, but you must confirm your quote with us before it's official. This will still be done via email to Info (at) clockworkcreature.com.
Have fun!

Livestream - Derecho hands sculpting
Streaming: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/creature-cam
Sorry about the late start. More sculpting on Derecho's hands today.
Also seems that the chatroom on Ustream is loading very oddly for me. I may or may not be able to see or type in it.

Regarding Professional Conduct
On behalf of everyone here at Clockwork Creature Studio, I want to take a moment to bring a particular issue to light, and also firmly request that it stop.
I (and I say "I" here simply because general customer service - mainly email answering - is almost exclusively a facet of this business which is my responsibility, so I am the one immediately affected) have noticed an increase in complaints regarding not getting a commission slot. Complaints which are, frankly, unprofessional and off-putting.
I understand that wait times are long, I understand that our product is in demand, and I understand that this most recent commission opening was sudden and ill-announced - and I apologize deeply for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
However, my sincere apology and an explanation is all I can offer, and is my final word.
I do not appreciate receiving these emotional, and even accusatory complaints. And I especially do not like it when, after offering my apology and an explanation, the complaint continues, or turns into begging.
Please be advised of the following:
Clockwork Creature Studio is a professional business venture. We want to form friendly, professional relationships with our customers, not relationships based on giving into guilt-trips and demands. We hope that thinking of it in those terms, it will appear to be common sense, and questions or even complaints regarding the queue will resume a more friendly, professional tone.
I am not banning emails regarding your questions or concerns about (not) getting a commission slot. However, please be advised that reactive, or angry, or whiny emails, and multiple emails pressing the issue, will not improve your chances of securing a slot. Such emails, in fact, make us question the merits of entering into a long-term business relationship. So please, keep it to the facts, and keep your emotional response in check.

Streaming! Even though I said I wasn't going to
Streaming: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/creature-cam
So I know I said that today was a day off, but then we realized that with Easter weekend we will be attending all sorts of family events (plus an unrelated Beats Antique concert on Friday, whee!) and so we will be taking off Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week. So, moving our days off to this weekend and working today and tomorrow instead.
Today's plans: Derecho hand sculpting, because I actually didn't have what I needed to do them yesterday.

Continuous Tickings - Livestream: more jawset
Streaming Now
Late start today, so it won't be a super long stream at all. Finishing up that horse jawset and the last of the tongues. Not sure if I'll get to more than that today.

Livestream - actually this time
Streaming: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/creature-cam
I seem to have found a half-decent way around the flash error. Currently using Ustream's desktop app to broadcast, which works except that for some reason it will only let me use the internal mic to broadcast sound. So audio quality will be crappy until further notice; my apologies.
Today I'll be working on all of the things I didn't do yesterday because I was fiddling with the stupid camera-ustream connection. So it'll be a riveting and exciting day of jawset sculpting, and maybe other things but I'm not sure.
