I was a big Fan of the Origional Story (to my Knowledge) that brought the Mud Pack together. Breyfogles art was Fantastic in that 4 Part Story Arc. Love what you did with the characters & Clayface 3 Looks like he just stepped outta the Books. Kuddo's.

[Alberto Malnati]

No idea who they are Al, but they really look cool.

THANKS BUD, Here SOME INFOS ON THE TWO CHARACTERS

Preston Payne

The third Clayface, Preston Payne first appeared at the end of Detective Comics #477 before making his first full appearance in #478. Suffering from hyperpituitarism, Payne works at S.T.A.R. Labs searching for a cure. He obtains a sample of the then-living Matt Hagen's blood, and isolates an enzyme which he introduces into his own bloodstream. Although he is briefly able to shape his own appearance, this effect is short-lived: while on a date, his flesh begins to melt, and when he touches his horrified girlfriend, she completely melts. Payne builds an exoskeleton anti-melting suit to prevent himself from touching anyone, but he learns that he needs to spread his melting contagion onto others to survive (he feels pain if he doesn't melt anyone). During this time his mental health starts to slip as he falls in love with a wax mannequin he names "Helena", thinking she is the only woman immune to his touch. After another breakdown, he thinks Helena enjoys watching men "fighting over her" when he battles Batman yet again in front of the wax doll. Although he doesn't give her up, he keeps her in Arkham Asylum, saying "we're both too polite to admit divorce, but she can't live forever."[1]

During the events of the Mud Pack, Shondra Fuller, the fourth Clayface, began masquerading as the hero Looker and visited Preston at Arkham. That same night, he got into an argument with Helena and unintentionally knocked her head off. Believing he killed her, Preston went on a rampage until subdued in a nearby swamp by the asylum guards. Rescued by Fuller, who was still using Looker's appearance and powers, used them to make Preston follow Basil Karlo's, the first Clayface, commands. Karlo ultimately betrayed Fuller, and took samples of hers and Preston's blood to inject into himself. After finally breaking free of Fuller's control, he was about to kill her when she admitted how sorry she was for using him. The two fell in love and went on to live together, leading to Fuller becoming pregnant with their child, Cassius.

Preston acquires medicine to control his pain and now feels the "hunger" only in his mind. It is also revealed that he was abused by his parents.

A stunted, emaciated Preston Payne appears in the graphic novel Arkham Asylum by Grant Morrison and Dave McKean. He is used to metaphorically represent sexually transmitted diseases.

[edit] Sondra Fuller

The fourth Clayface, Sondra Fuller, also known as Lady Clay, first appeared in Outsiders (volume 1) #21. She is a member of Strikeforce Kobra who is transformed into a shape-changer by her employer Kobra's technologies, a process to which she agrees to become a subject because she hates her own face.

She possesses identical abilities to those of Matt Hagen, but they are permanent, without the requirement for a source of protoplasm. She can additionally copy any special powers of the being she is mimicking. She is defeated by the Outsiders.[1]

Later, after the Mud Pack forms and battles Batman, Fuller falls in love with Preston Payne and they have a child named Cassius "Clay" Payne. After Abbatoir kidnaps the child, the couple get into a fight involving Azrael/Batman.

[edit] Mud Pack

Before the appearance of the fifth and sixth Clayfaces, the third and fourth Clayfaces team up, breaking the original Clayface out of prison and futilely attempting to revive the second. Together, the four form the "Mud Pack". Karlo later copies the others' powers by injecting himself with extracts of samples of the other two Clayfaces, becoming the "Ultimate Clayface". The three battle, and are defeated by Batman. (Detective Comics #604-607)

agreed

[Alberto Malnati]

agreed

You Know Pal, who can say who really is a clay face?

[thunderbolt]

Man, nice work, Alberto!!! I've been trying to get to a Clayface eventually. I might go with the Basil Karlo version.

[Alberto Malnati]

Man, nice work, Alberto!!! I've been trying to get to a Clayface eventually. I might go with the Basil Karlo version.

Do it Pal! i did the n° 2, 3 and 4... as far i know nobody did clayface n° 1 ...I'm sure your basil terror Karlo will be great, I can't wait to see Your custom!

[Dave Mc]

Cool. You don't see Clayface done very often. Love what you've done.

[Meule]

Al, I love the Preston Clayface, totally amazing job on the sculpt and the costume. You should've taken a group shot with the Clayface you did years ago

[Alberto Malnati]

Cool. You don't see Clayface done very often. Love what you've done.

Hi Dave, you're right Clay face, any version, is a character that customizer didn't consider so much right now...Preston Payne is complex but if i think to the great versions of mr freeze i' ve seen here...c'mon guys i cant wait to see the same details and perfection that some of you could do on clay face 3.
And again...there are great monster makers among us...Clay faces 2 and 4..are monsters indeed...who can make a great mummy custom could find great solutions for those too...and the clay face one (now he looks like the 2 nd or the fourth) but in his first incarnation was a scary assassin...with a big cap, XIX century kind dress and cape and a big knife

[Alberto Malnati]

Al, I love the Preston Clayface, totally amazing job on the sculpt and the costume. You should've taken a group shot with the Clayface you did years ago

Yes Thomas, family shots is something i've promised many times...now i'm pulling off the boxes my customs in these days...just to see if some of them need impruvement or fixing...i will take the occasion to put families togheter

[Megospidey]

Very nice work Al - you always have a little extra flair on your customs - like the boots on Preston and the suit for Lady Clay. Nice work!
