    Thanks guys!
    Rider, planning on it...battle scene...not this time.
    Updates...soon. :)

    Whew...applying faux fur takes forever, or about 3-4 hours.

    Red means dangerous!

    It's looking pretty great!

    I am just a lurker Scotty, but your sculptures look great, something for perspective on the size of them would be good, just from a layman's perspective.

    Really good work, I couldn't do that if I had a thousand dollars and 6 months...

    Thanks guys!
    I always forget to place something near the piece (for scale reference) when taking a photo...this time is no different. (ugh...next time)
    The spider is almost exactly 7" long from front toes to back ones in these new photos.
    Just figuring out the rider now, and will be adding in grasses and junk to hide the supports and add a bit more 'real' to the piece.

    Is the spider still getting a rider? Possibly one with a grasshopper sized lasso?

    Fake edit: Just saw the "Completed piece!" bit, so I guess it's safe to assume that no, there won't be a spider rider with a grasso lasso.

    Yeah, not this time, decided to go for the more natural 'Trials of Life' version here. (haha)
    I may still do something more with the base, paint it black, stain it, or add more grass to hide it better...I dunno...we'll see.

    Onto the next regardless!!

    The NEXT!

    Latest piece in progress...based on the 'Ghost Mantis'.
    The Ghost mantis, also know as Phyllocrania paradoxa, is a species that has a beautiful leaf-like body. It’s color is usually dark brown, but can also be sand, light brown or even green. The natural habitat of the Ghost mantis is Madagascar and Africa.
    Still much to do, but coming along!

    My list of greatest fears:

    1.) PRAYING MANTIS
    2.) Swimming in deep ocean with unknown things below me

    That being said, nice work. Really nice detail and it's really creepy! :O

    Thanks F87!

    Things are slower going these days due to preparing to move to my new apartment...but did manage to finish this and take photos. :)

    Sculpted the head so far. Using apoxie I have to detail it as I go as it hardens within a couple of hours.

    Looking good so far, love the wrinkles on that eye.

    Have some time, check out my blog
  • ScottyScotty Registered User regular
    Thank you Mabelma! Here's an update from today, coming along...

  • MabelmaMabelma Registered User regular
    Loving it so far, the little bulge between the lower leg and the belly looks a bit weird, and the lower leg looks a bit thin compared to the upper leg but loving the detail in this, and it's just overall great.

    Have some time, check out my blog
  • ScottyScotty Registered User regular
    Thanks for the input Mab! In progress photos are a funny thing, always great to have outside eyes looking at a sculpt.

    Here's where the sculpt is presently, gonna paint it next!
    I think I'll call it, 'She'll grow into them'. :)

    She's a happy little girl, and sat surprisingly still for the photos.

    Real doggy in the middle surrounded by photos of the painted sculpt. (I wonder what he'll think of his clone?)
    Just need to add the felt pads to the bottom (so he won't scuff surfaces) and he's all done and ready to be sent to the client. *whew*

    Wow. Fantastic stuff, Scotty. Are there enough sculptists around here to sustain a sculpt thread? Anybody?

    Here's another work in progress that's been "movin' right along". Still much to do obviously, but taking shape.

    Still working on Kermit, but had a commission come up that needed to be done.
    ...and here it is!

    A gentleman commissioned me to sculpt him a seagull for his seaside-themed office.

    That is truly terrifying.

    I wish I had crits for you! I really don't know much about sculpting. How do people solicit you for commissions? Do people just find you online, or do you mostly get word of mouth/people you know in real life asking you for stuff?

    Hehe thanks guys!
    Iruka- All of the above really. Sometimes I just do a sculpt, and then somebody wants it, so they buy it. I've been fortunate lately as I've had commissions. This Slimer is just fanart, probably sell it to whoever wants. :)

    sculpting is relevant to my interests.

    what's your technique for doing skin wrinkles like on the elephant?

  • ScottyScotty Registered User regular
    Thanks all!

    Wahay, ANTS!

    Rez, I apply the clay thicker, and then take one of my knife tools and cut around it to make the lines, then brush it with water to blend the wrinkles. For thicker areas I roll clay (like sausages) and apply those to the surface, and then do the blending thing again with my fingers or a rounded tool. Then water to smooth it all together. :^:
