Ummmm I think that this is greymon, but I'm not entirely sure......... But i'll just say it is for now.
Also, I've made the gaossamon and the starmon things but I have yet to paint them! the others i'll make soon.



So, the sculpting part of sculpting isn't that bad. It's frustrating at times but I can deal with it.
Oven....That's extremely nerve wracking, because if somethign gets messed up its harder to fix, but most of the time it's alright.
Painting is the easiet part, i swear, it's the best cause it's the last part too and it's like a cool down period.
But...between the ovening and painting is the standing which is where i have to make the sculptures stand. Becaues i'm really picky and I don't like any sculptures unless they're able to stand on their own. It's the worst part though, because usually I have to try a ton of times before I get it right, and the feet have to be a large enough base to hold the thing up, and sometimes I don't know what the problem is and why it's not standing....

This was the worst. It's legs got messed up in the oven since I had to do them separately, and so when I glued them on they were sort of crooked, and when I tried to get it to stand, it wouldn't! I realized that it was a case of balance, cause the head was relly heavy, and the tail wasn't. I tried everything i could with hot glue, but eventually gave up and just made a base for it. So, even though it's not ideal, it's the best I could do.
I actually really like this though! It turned out nice



(and also just cause i feel like telling you)
So you remember the ophanimon i made? It's arm kept breaking off and so I just left it for a few weeks, but when I was trying to get this guy to stand I had the hot glue on so I figured I should fix it so I put the arm back on, but it was never able to stand for some reason before that. It was actually because I had to modify the hair on her because it wouldn't go on right. But after I did that, the balance got all shifted and whatnot, so I was trying to get her to stand. Well, I spent about 30 minutes, no joke, gluing her feet and taking it off (the wonder of hot glue) and couldn't get her to stand at all. So, like I usually do if I can't figure something out, I took my pokemon cards (or notecards or whatever i have near me) and put then under her feet to see how much i would need to get her to stand, and when I did that she stood perfectly fine. But when i looked, i realized it was just a TINY TINY LITERALLY TINY BIT OF HOT GLUE i needed on the end of her hair! She stands perfectly find now, wonderfully in fact, but it's really frustrating. Cause it was the most obvious thing but it took my 30 minutes to realize.


But ya my horror tales of getting sculpts to stand.
