So, usually I only show my successes, but even the best artists have art-fart days. (or weeks, months, years…). I’ve had more than my share of these, the most recent of which being yesterday and today. I was attempting some fanart, and I think it might have been an overly ambitious venture for my state of current health. I should have known after ripping off and reshaping the legs about 3 times… but no, I kept of forging ahead. The result of which was a very pretty but very unstable dragon. Had I properly supported it in the oven, this wouldn’t've happened! 10 minutes into baking, he fell over in the oven. This is why when you have a standing sculpture, you should support it with upturned glasses, not foil. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES. After he came out all dented and drooping with a twisted leg, I managed to repair it a little by breaking off the twisted foot and re-moulding it and patching over the dents with fresh clay, then putting it back in the oven for 10 minutes. He’s too droopy really for it to be worth painting, so I’m sharing it with you as-is. Why? ‘Cause I spent so many $#@&! hours on it that I don’t care it if turned into a lump, I’m posting it, danget!! *fume fume fume*
It doesn’t look that bad Lee… I’ve found that after staring at something that I’ve been working on for a really long time, my mind begins to make up stuff that’s wrong with it and I have to put it down for a long time before I pick it back up again. (That’s why Robert didn’t get his Earth Dragon ceramic this year!) ^-^;
Oh! When I finally finish Robert’s blanket of Death that I’ve been working on for the past 3 MONTHS STABBITY STABBITY STAB STAB…. can we post a pic the site for a vote incentive?
I’m not doing vote incentives since the comics are all on hiatus, but you can register here and I’ll let you make posts like I did on EA and you can put it up. Or you can just send me the picture and I’ll post it for you if you’re not feeling adventurous enough to tackle WP.
And yeah, it does look that bad. Even looking at it after a long night’s sleep it looks pretty horrid.
I like it – it looks from the photos like it’s rounding a corner or something. Plus it’s pretty… but what exactly is it?
Still loving Sleet, btw. ^^
It WAS a Christmas dragon… before it melted. XD Glad you’re still enjoying Sleet!
