Individual little snakes of clay in varying shades of brown/copper. It looked a lot nicer before baking...when it came out brittle lots of the tiny tips and pieces broke off.

Nice! I like the details like the rainbow hair and bloody facial wound. I used to sculpt some too, so I know how hard figures are to do. I'm not sure how I feel about the semi-cartoony, Gumby-ish limbs, but like I said figures are hard, especially limb lengths and proportions. Plus, I'm of a more classical mindset as far as proportions go. I heard on skype that you're using an oven baking clay like Sculpy? Are you using pre-colored clay or are you painting the raw white clay? Either way I think the coloring details are superb.
Anyway just my two cents, hope you don't mind the constructive criticism. Also, if the hair is cracking, why not try a Twi'lek or Togruta next?

Yeah the issue I had with the limbs and proportions was kinda my own fault...I should have just gone out and gotten some sculpty firm that would hold it's shape better, but...I was being silly and cheap. So unfortunately her joints warped a little bit and I had to try and get them back into some semblance of order while they were piping hot.
I use sculpty/fimo/premo depending on the strength I need for a particular part. Usually I'm able to maintain a good level of "give" in a piece but I think the multiple bakings + using an oven I wasn't familiar with (my bfs) didn't do me any favours.
I start with precoloured clay for certain parts, and in mica powers, extra pigments, etc if needed. Then I go back after the final bake and add painted details/extra texturing afterwards. Like the blood and bruising are all painted on.
Still debating if I should complain about how awfully dry and crumbly some of the new clay I bought was out of the pack...I hate confrontation but a the same point, it must have been stored improperly.
Next up is probably going to be the trooper character in the little scene I'm piecing together, and the baddies will be last. Though I'm taking a break from my clay stuff to work on an entry for a local wearable art contest. A Togruta would be fun though, I already have enough Twi'lek figures and dolls in my house lol!
