I'm chugging along fairly well. The feet, torso and neck should be easy enough, though I'm worried about the face as it's not only crucial, but highly detailed and will undoubtedly be difficult because I've never done anything like it before.
Imma force myself to finish the whole sculpture before I start tearing it up. I dunno, most of the stuff is accurate and no one ever mentioned it as a problem, but the back end is really bothering me and the front end to a lesser degree. I think maybe they're too defined and need to be softened and greater nuances added? Whatever the reason, they look super funky. I'm not happy and it's hard not to take a hacksaw to it. Which I will do as soon as I actually figure out what the problem is.
Or maybe it's mental and it just looks wrong because I made it so I'm seeing lots of problems that aren't there. Either way, I'll need more feedback in the future from lots of different people to figure it out.
As much fun as this is, I am really nervous about trying to bring my other sculpture to this level of completion. I'm sure it'll go a bit faster because now I have a better idea of what I'm doing, but this one took so long and I'm not even fully happy with it, so I kinda don't want to invest all the time just to have it be crap when I could be perfecting this one. Though I should probably have two so there's a better chance of something getting in even though they'd be similar. But what happens if I don't get in? If I don't graduate because some old dude is pretentious and hates my piece and ends up being the reason for that I'll be beyond pissed having just wasted 4 years of my life and being tens of thousands of dollars further in debt than if I had just went straight to some menial, low-level job outta high school like I planned.
