Without a SHADOW of a doubt, I couldn't care less what it is I watch you make.. every single sculpture made by your hands is **100%** worth watching. It's amazing to watch you make anything and wish I could have someone like you as a mentor and teacher. Honestly fella, whatever you do, is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.

@@BMSculptures the eye sockets must have been nerve-wracking. No real going back if you removed too much foam. Adding to a sculpture always seems an easier option to me than removing, as in stone/wood carving Beautiful and very different end result for this bison 🦬 useing the rubber tyres. Congratulations, it was definitely worth the effort put in, in my eyes.

Definitely the whole process. It's fascinating to see how it progresses through each step starting with a sketch or picture and slowly evolving into the final extremely realistic creature. The ability to see the potential of a found object turning into something completely different is a talent that only some people can do. For me, I have to sometimes play with a medium or object and let it speak to me and sometimes it is a complete surprise when the different pieces fall into place and suddenly take on the shape that was in my head especially when I couldn't get the sketch to look like what I wanted to create.
