Clay Nummorro Critters -- Coocoo vs. K'hyurbhi

For my final 3D Design project this year, I bought some clay and am going to be making various small critters out of it! Here's my first two attempts--a Coocoo and a K'hyurbhi.  They look like they're about to get in a fight...

Apparently this stuff can be baked in an oven in order to dry it.  I think I'm going to try that tomorrow after I wash my dishes, so I'll have a pizza pan I can put them on.  Hopefully they dry without any problems--I'd hate it if they cracked open or otherwise became screwed up in the process...
