Practice......

Close but no cigar.....



No one is good at everything.... remember that if your starting out as its important. Like everyone out there I'm not infalible, and there are things I'm not so hot at sculpting. The big ones for me are likenesses and caricatures (in a time less than a milion years.) A side effect of speed sculpting is that (for me at least), its less suitable for any sort of likeness as you really do need to take your time. So I have figured its well overdue time I nailed with problem area. But in usual style I'm trying to integrate it into my speed sculpting. It took me about 2 years of producing total unmitigated crap to get anywhere near where I wanted when speed sculpting 30mins -1 hour speed sculpt (or less) many years back.

So I fully expect it to take a while. My plan is to hit the problem area from two fronts. Firstly keep speed sculpting likenesses as I have time and secondly to do somewhere I take much more time (ie as slow as shit). Eventually the two will mesh into one way of doing it fast. At least thats the plan. I'm only about 25% happy with the sculpt above so theres a long way to go. Like with sculpting anything its a matter of practicing till your sick to death until you get it right.

Edgar Alan Poe Sculpt



I started this sculpt back in about april this year and it got mothballed for no other reason than being too busy to finish it. So there poor old poe stood on my drive with no hair for months along with about 70 other partly done models from april and march.

Unlike the others (as I often produce far more than I ever finish when working just for something for me) a little voice said to finish him off. So I did. Maybe I should dig around and see what else I feel like finishing off at some point. I'd love to get this one 3d printed just for my own amusement and to stick on my desk. I've always had a soft spot for caricatures.

On a side note I finally offically handed over ownership of mudboxhub.com yesterday, so its no good sending me emails about it as I no longer run it. This along with stopping the free tutorials and dvd's has taken a fair old bit of stress off my shoulders.
