About 2 weeks ago i started creating a sculpture. my first diorama for showcase. well its more like a big creature with a base. but still i thought it would be a real nice gift to my Godson. It was his anniversary this week-end and i thought a gift from me, made by me would be awesome. Unfortunately it didn't end too well. but i must say for a first time it wasn'T all that bad.
the color is completely off, i tryed but couldn't replicate that gold metallic feel.
the other problem was the head, i couldn't make it look like a reptilien creature, it looks more like a dog face.
another problem i had was with the size of the thing. it was disproportionate ( SP? )
I definitely need some clay to do stuff. i used foil to shape the beast. its not that it doesn'T really work. it does well. its just that it doesn'T hold up on its own and need lots of hot glue to make it work. and its hard to make details in foil. so most of it is done with hot glue and foil.
overall a project im happy to have done, i now have bought metallic paints instead.
with this project i learned that my godson is like me, he likes creating stuff. he really likes legos and have started on his own doing replicas of a bridge for his school. he's not into painting the stuff though. he really liked it.
still it felt cheap to give him something that was not so great doing. so the gift wasn't alone.
this project was insightfull. i now have much more ideas on how to build such stuff and i'm definitely gonna make more in the future.
