Hello internet! I've decided to get into sculpting artisans (primarily for my own enjoyment) and figured it'd be fun to document my progress along the way. Updates in the chain below.
We'll see how this changes over time, and if it goes dormant then well... I guess it's because life managed to get in the way for a while.
I'm currently: Sculpting any random idea that pops into my head, and giving casting a shot too, with mixed levels of success.
Current Sculpts:Apollo Keymand Module In process (It's busted. Will try again.)
V2
V2 after my kid found it
V3
Abandoned when I realized I had made it too tallV4
Being CastMini Keyper Out in the world!Nekkid Mole Rat 2nd Draft Finished,was cast, now in production! (I have a weird affinity for this lil' guy)
(the middle one is the tone I'm going for)
Tankey Casted, it sucked. Will re-sculpt. (Going to do V3 to address concerns with proportions and detail)
First semi-successful cast:
A failed attempt at re-sculpting. Let's do this again...
Random Bird Skull Cast/On Hold (It's weirdly tall. Unlikely to proceed further unless I completely re-do the proportions)
Santa Maria On hold (Going to try and re-work proportions)
Pile O' Faces On hold (Going to redesign since I discovered SUK Legion was a thing
)
Big Toe Hilarious (I may just cast this for fun and to freak out my wife and kids)
Mystery Sculpts In ProcessMaterials:
$ynth purchased on reddit, it's as awesome as could be. I really enjoy using it.
Sculpting Tools Have word out to a friend who is a dentist, they're going to find me some "old ass dental tools" that I can use. Edit: ended up getting a cheap set on Amazon because I'm impatient. Also, X-acto knife. Lastly, rubber clay tools. Bangarang.
Sculpey Arrived! Currently being used to make sculpts when not being used to make random toys for my kids
Lego for mold I have kids at home so covered there
Silicone, Resin, Mad Scientist equipment Most of it received, just waiting on Pressure Pot and Mold Release at this point!
That's about it for now. We'll see what kind of hell I'm getting myself into here.
