And so, I'm doing what I have to, to create new work.
These are the current sculptures I'm working on are (or at least have plans of working on.)
From the Futurama Series: Fry - face done ( though I dont think he looks goofy enough - more of a James dean allure about him right now.. ) / hair next, Amy - face done/ hair next, Zapp - face done / hair next
Midna True Form (Zelda) 11 inch format - Body sculpted. Paul the Alien - Head sculpted/ body next..
I was watching Disney's UP again... I think I'll sculpt Kevin's babies. in Life size. Maybe 7 inches?
Tyrael from Diablo 2/3 is still in preproduction, I'm having trouble thinking of the scale for him... 18 inches would be nioe but at this size it would be difficult to make it afforable to mold and cast him... (That is if I decide to sell him
)Any ideas?
I feel I must keep challenging myself and push my comfort levels... Its the only way I can get better.
Side note: I'm considering opening commissions. But only for the serious buyer. I only offer the best work I can make, which takes time, and dedication. My turn around can be quick, but it will require many many hours on my end ( aka my free time). People have asked me for prices. This is something I cannot give as each project is unique, and I am not a comic book shop that sells collectibles that are mass produced. What I make is unique and professional. You cannot find my work anywhere but from me exclusively.
Also, people may not realize this, but I, as a sculptor, have to be able to render the character in 2d well before they start sculpting. This is helps plan the workflow.. I sketch and draw poses before I move on to do the actual sculpting. This all takes time. so before someone goes I'm not paying x for a sculpture. Think about all that goes into it. Molding and casting and sometimes painting. All take time and money.
