Trick or Tea

I had Sooooooooooo much fun sculpting this. It's been probably 20 years since I've sculpted anything of note.

I think this has re-ignited my love of sculpting!

here's
a progression of the sculpture page and a few alternate angles.

Please Please tell me what you think!

Gee, wonder who this is? Is there anything you CAN'T do? Awesomely done, amazingly detailed. :D

I'd either be too scared to give him anything or compelled to dump every sugary treat I own in his bag.

The detail on the face is gut-wrenchingly creepy. He's mad I tell you, mad! Best in show!

FANTASTIC! You are a natural at this stuff! Sorry could only give you a 10.

This is stunning! If you dont get into the top 3 i'm eating my socks :)

now who do we know with a Alice fixation...?

clearly a huge amount of inspired work - and the result is an utterly superb production! glad you've rediscovered your 3D thrills - looking forward to more of your high-end serious sculpy soon :)

I think you should keep right on sculpting. He's awesome. :)

wow

Unbelievable. I am going to try using wire instead of paper and tape for my armature next time. Your craftsmanship is excellent. I like how you did his teeth and hair. What kind of clay did you use and is he painted with acrylics? Do not wait another 20 years to sculpt again. :)

I don't know much about sculpting, but this is fantastic! :D

I think this is perfection.

The hands have so much character to them as well as that face! Details details!

Treason said 5 months ago 10/29/2009 7:44:37 PM EDT

Weird double post, sorry!

Ddallas said 5 months ago 10/29/2009 11:47:37 PM EDT

I'm speechless. This is incredible. Ha ha! I just noticed the Trick or TEA thing. Nice touch.

Delpht said 5 months ago 10/30/2009 1:12:37 PM EDT

Just awesome! Rated it 9, think never give this note before.

Lsgenie said 5 months ago 10/30/2009 6:40:04 PM EDT

Absolutely awesome! Great sculpting, great painting, great everything! My pick for winner. A 10 from me.

Arena Admin LadyMin said 5 months ago 10/30/2009 7:23:05 PM EDT

Well, it was worth it getting back into it. :)

Supagray said 5 months ago 10/31/2009 2:43:52 AM EDT

I wish i could extend the voting scale just for you. I gave a couple 10's but in comparison this is a 12. Sorry but i can only give you 10.

Global Council PixelDustMT said 5 months ago 10/31/2009 10:04:09 AM EDT

Jeeeeze who let's this crap into contests! ;)

Seriously though, I'm not sure which is stronger, your painting or sculpting skills. You should do more of each so I can make a accurate comparison. :)

They both came together beautifully in this entry.

firebox said 5 months ago 10/31/2009 2:13:18 PM EDT

wow, just wow!

Global CouncilArena Admin Kookaburra said 5 months ago 10/31/2009 5:56:44 PM EDT

THANK YOU for playing. I hope you will be a regular in our little corner of Worth! Clay IS fun!

DragonTat7 said 5 months ago 10/31/2009 7:31:24 PM EDT

let me guess who did this...John? Awesome work, love the great detail, texture and colors. The trick or Tea is a nice touch and his expression and stance are perfect. Well done, had to give you a 10...at least!

Johnrmcconnell said 5 months ago 11/1/2009 12:12:31 AM EDT
