Pictures: / cqtzj7wjrrb
Technical info:
- The piece stands almost 24” tall, including base
- Sculpted using mostly Chavant NSP Medium, with a little bit of NSP Hard for faces and accessories like belts, shoelaces, and book
- The monster was entire made of NSP Medium except for teeth, which were made using Super Sculpey Original. The orange/brown color came from over-baking the stuff and burning it slightly
- Armatures are made using mostly aluminum wires, with steel where necessary to hold up the weight
- The monster’s main structure is made from 9 gauge steel wires, bundled together with aluminum wires and epoxy putty. It is able to stand on its own without the base or additional support of any kind
- All told, this piece took over 45 sessions to complete. (I don’t know the real total. There are days especially towards the end where I worked on it but did not film the process)
- I promise the next one won’t take nearly as long lol

The most lovecraftian thing about this sculpture is how it made you go insane and yet you couldn't let it go

@The-Garden-Library 3 жыл бұрын

love this sculpture! and also thanks for being so human, most artist on medias these days don't show any of the mistakes or anything like that, but you show all your thoughts and feelings while you sculpt and as an artist seeing that I'm not the only one who has those issues and mistakes is really inspiring!

Thank youuu. I appreciate your comment so much. I think the mistakes and changes we make to our art is the most interesting part, and I'm glad to see I'm not alone. Thank you again :)

If it's any consolation, I clicked on the thumbnail because the Tentacles looked more interesting than what you know from nature. The hard work paid off!

Art... I don't care if it takes you 3 or 4 months to put out a video, it's a small price for us as viewers to pay. This masterpiece is incredible! You truly are an inspiration, in both your skill and your execution. Thank you for being so transparent in your videos, it's important to see that art isn't all smiles and happy feelings; it CAN be stressful, and draining, and demoralizing, but the immense joy that you feel when you break through the other side ( like you did yourself with this one 21:12 ) makes it completely worth it! Love you, love your videos, love love LOVE your work. Can not wait to see more!

@ArtChongArt 3 жыл бұрын

Aww thank you. I appreciate your kind words. Yeah, the struggle is the most interesting thing about making art to me for sure. Hopefully they're not all going to take 3-4 months though lol. There are some kinds of practice that requires making more pieces rather than one big one.

Every time I see that look on your face it lifts my heart. I felt it most particularly in your very personal sculpture, both in your face and the face (and eyes) of your figure, but I love seeing it because it says, "My God, I've done it" and I'm so happy for you when I see and feel that. And then after, boom, you need a good rest and sound sleep. Yep, been there, just not via sculpting. Bravo.
