I've attempted full figure sculpts before, and having everything together as one piece is just too frustrating for words. I wonder if this method is easier to deal with.
Again, awesome work here!
Yes, for this kind of work, I think it's very helpful to have the piece broken up while you're working on it. The main purpose for breaking up a statue is for molding, but it also aids in getting a clean detailed piece. There are some nooks and crannies you couldn't get into without arms being removable, or heads being able to pop off.
If you're working in sculpey, or something, you can do your best while it's a full figure, and after it's baked and hardened you can use a jeweler's saw to disassemble it for molding. You'll also he able to clean up any points you weren't able to get your tools into by sanding or whatnot.
I hope this helps! thanks!

Great work on the robes. The folds are very convincing and they have a really nice movement to them.
