Did you finish the Trump sculpture? You are so talented! I hope you’re still sculpting.
Aaaawwww! Thank you, Anon! :)Yes, yes. It’s done and painted and all. The tie broke though. I should have made the tie out of actual cloth, I guess. I tried to fix it with hot glue, but that just made a mess.
Currently, I don’t have the right set of mind for sculpting tbh. Too much going on. And for sculpting I need to be able to relax. And that’s not really possible right now.The next thing is that it takes a lot of time to do something like this. At least for me, because I don’t have any sort of practice. “Rumpelstiltskin” here was a matter of a good 20 or more hours. From the first scribbles to the painted version. Not including the time needed for the clay to dry. So… it took literally days. And my desk was a mess during that time ;)And also, I don’t really know what to sculpt, or what to sculpt for. I’m a pragmatist. I need to do things for a reason. At least things that take this amount of time, you know. I will certainly keep on sculpting. One day I will :) But right now… “Just” doing it for myself is… hmmm… See… I’m not good enough for it to not become a chore. I am terribly over-critical of my own stuff. I don’t know if that makes sense. No matter what it is, it is super hard for me to not only see the flaws. And so I’m kind of trapped in that loop of: Why do I even do this? Especially when it takes so much time. But, yeah… thank you again :) I really appreciate your words-
