Hi Guys,

I have been model making most of my life but this year after seeing a video on Youtube I decided to have a go at sculpting.
I thought You might like to see my feeble efforts.
It was interesting to do and I enjoyed making these, I will definitely continue with this sculpting in-between making my ship models.
I might even get better at it.ROTF

I knew this was a bad idea.

Hi Guys,

This is the first clay sculpture I had ever done, As I said I only tried sculpting this year as a change to making ships.
It was made with Air dry Clay and painted with Acrylic paint.
A strange thing to sculpt you may say but at the time I had no idea what to sculpt so as I started it seemed to take over and this is the end result.

Thank you Stephen.
The strange thing is when I start a sculpture I have no clue what to sculpt I just make a wire armature to get the rough size and then the clay takes over.
The only control I have is making the wire armatures, I decide if it is a human shape or an animal shape or both.

Not only a bad idea but all for naught. Touching any part of the bull with the off hand, much less grabbing the tail, is a big ol' Disqual! Nice humorous touch, though, and excellent work throughout. I don't know which I like more, the "serious" pieces or the wonderfully whimsical caricatures. All are beautifully rendered.

If these are your early attempts, then you have missed a calling ! these are lovely
 
I especially like your fighting horses and these plus the other characters show real talent. How long does it take to create one of these pieces?

I think I will stick to ships - My sense of proportion would end up with a horse too long or a head too small!!
