Sculpture- CYBERGIRL

[Scotty]

A little something from my imagination...thought you guys might like to see it. She's done except for maybe a bit of tweaking. Thanks for looking. :)

[Main Loop]

really nice.. reminds me of mayan decoration..

[Deadsprite]

how do you get such clean lines in that medium?

[cycrincy]

intersting......i like the way u scuptid the head and a nice tuch with the tilting:)

[Scotty]

Main Loop- Thank you for replying. That's a new one...Mayan huh? Cool!! I'm glad to see everybody seeing something a bit different in my works.

Deadsprite- Steady hands, and patience. (Wish I had more of an exciting and magical thing to say, but that's it) :)

cycrincy- Thank you for the kind words. I really like mech-like robots especially female ones.....so I thought I'd give it a shot. I will definitely be creating more under this style in the future. :cool: I appreciate the replies....I can always use the feedback.

[Deadsprite]

do you use an armature on sculptures like these?

[Killer Napkins]

hey .. i dont know much about sculpture but this looks pretty cool.. ive always wanted to try it.. but what do u use when u sculpt? is there different type of things to use? like clay or what?.. good work

[Scotty]

Jens- I agree about the arms...if you're going by human scale....however, it's a robot. Sorry you don't think they look right, but I wanted the arms to be mechanical, and that don't require much in the way of bulk. They look exactly how I imagined them. ;) Thanks for replying....every opinion counts. :)

Deadsprite- Sure do....I use copper-wire for building my armatures.

Killer Napkins- Thanks for the reply....I use Super Sculpey when making these sculptures. :cool:

[Killer Napkins]

hmm super sculpey.. i may check that out sometime.. give sculpting a try..

[Scotty]

Killer Napkins- Hey....why not right? Give it a go! Never know....you may have a gift for it. ;)

Jens- Ah...yeah...I get ya now. That was a design choice actually. I wanted it to look like she has big washers there for circular motion....like they are interchangeable. (felt it to appear more robotic) However, like I said....to each their own. You probably would have done it different. That's what makes us artists unique I guess. :chug: Thanks again!

[Killer Napkins]

also i was wondering.. how much super sculpey did u use for it? like how much is an 8lb pack of it? is it not very much or what heh...

[Deadsprite]

that is prolly less than a pound of SS.

now did you cure that already? and if so did you leave tha armature in? also, do you have a shot of the tools you use? as well as any in process pictures? i am really interested on how you work on that stuff.

[Killer Napkins]

ooh .. yes me too.. i wanna really try this..

[Deadsprite]

yeah, you don't find many tutorials online dealing with fine details, all you can find are large sculptures in clay, and things like snowmen in SS

[Scotty]

Killer Napkins- Yeah, I used just under a pound I believe for this one.

Deadsprite- Unfortunately I have no in progress pics, but I can tell ya what I used "tool-wise". You may not believe me, but I use a butter knife, toothpicks, a metal pen (run dry of ink) and anything else I find that will give the desired effect. (Obviously steady hands help) This one hasn't been cured yet, but I always leave the armature in....I can't imagine any reason to take it out. (That would wreck it) I am self-taught, and in my experience...the best way to get better is just to study other's works, and practice your butt off. I do intend to buy some ACTUAL sculpting tools soon. (find 'em at your arts and crafts store) I just wanted to get good with what I use so far, and then when I get real tools...I will be all the better (I figure).

Good luck! If you have other questions...feel free to visit my site, and e-mail me. :cool:

[Gezstar]

jesus that must take a lot of patience! i have a feeling if i tried that kind of thing i'd punch it half way through :D

actually i can believe that. i mainly do large sculptures and mainly in a medium where the details will get lost in the process. so this idea of working smaller is a great challenge. especially the fact that sculpty is so fickle about the clay going on one another (and its also not waterbased so no slip and score for me). i've been looking at your stuff on eatpoo for a little bit now, so i've always wondered if you take shots of your process.

[Scotty]

Gezstar- Hahaha, well, ya it does take patience. I have to admit....there were times I coulda destryoed it, but nothing comes easy that matters right? :)

Deadsprite- Maybe I should take pics of the process next time. Yeah...I frequent Eatpoo quite a bit. What do YOU usually sculpt with? :cool:

[Deadsprite]

clay, stone, metal, ussually a bunch of weird stuff. not much conceptual stuff.

[Deadsprite]

here is my most recent midnight attempt at sculpty clay.

[Scotty]

Deadsprite- Not much conceptual huh? Do you usually create animals and such then. I 've done some, and figure maybe I should do more. It's good to show that you can do real-life stuff included with the imaginary I would think. :chug:
By the way...I posted in your other thread.

[Deadsprite]

no no no no .... i don't do stuff like that for the shear fact i hate it. it's mainly a bunch of weird stuff ... like i just got back a really large sculpture from a show that was about 4 foot tall ... and covered in faces, abstracted lima bean shape, and just lots and lots of faces emerging from it.

[Scotty]

Ah!! Ok, that's cool man. So imaginary, but abstractly so. I'd like to see this thing you speak of sometime. :)

[Deadsprite]

So would i, i just sold it to someone from South Carolina. took it with him this afternoon when we closed the deal. i was so shocked he bought it for the price i asked i forgot to take shots of it. :eek: but hey ... its still 1200 bucks.

[Scotty]

Great merciful crap!! That's great man!! Heck, I wouldn't miss it too much with that money to fill the void. HAHAHA :)

[Deadsprite]

hell ... right now i would have sold my first born for that much. ... oh well .. i can pay for car insurance now ^_^
