A Sequence of Artwork - (arts p5)

[Ford Prefect]

You shill.

What's it supposed to be a logo for? Spelunking in Greek mythology?

[Pick]

Some group that does triathlons. I'm not sure why the cerebus, other than it has three of a thing, like triathlons, which also have three of a thing.

[Shroom Man 777]

Those alienoids are awesome! Reptors and Reptilioes! Doggies! Lizardmangs!

[Crazedwraith]

I got that it was Cerberus but not that it was connected to Triathlons. Partially because I mistook the tire for a Frisbee.

[Pick]

Yeah, I wish there were something better for the bike than an inner tire, but that's what they wanted. A helmet would have been my thought, but a helmet on the dog would look kind of stupid. Glad you guys like!

Also, soon I may be offering up tiny oil paintings for commission. And I mean tiny like 2" by 3.5". I can get these itty-bitty canvases cheap and they don't hog paint, so I could whip out some of those pretty well without major cost if anyone wants a teeny real painting at some point.

[Ford Prefect]

Why are you so good at every kind of art conceivable? It's like you've been blessed by most of the muses. Impressive stuff.

[Pick]

T...

[Ford Prefect]

Goddamn those robes are fucking hot. Do you use any sort of tools for these?

[Pick]

I mostly use my fingers, honestly. However, I also have an old dental pick (not the standard pointy type; this one has a little knife-like side and a weird chisel thing side) and a silicon all-purpose thingyjigger. It's sort of like a paintbrush, except instead it has a silicon wedge at the end. I only really use those for the tight spaces, though, and putting in lines . I did need them a lot for the robes, since I'm trying to make them look really light, and if I tried to add all the wrinkles by hand, the SSculpey would probably disintegrate. It's a nice, forgiving substance, but it has its limits.

[Shroom Man 777]

Oh wow. The detail on the sculpture man's clothing is really neat, and I like the fact that they started out as really weird abstract-looking molding forms that look freaky before turning out into cool looking quadruped boxing champions!

Wait, they're just like a couple of inches in size? How do you make models of something so small? Oh man.

[Pick]

The scale is really what makes it difficult, since I rely mostly on my fingers for sculpting. At this rate, even my pinky finger is a terribly large instrument. However, SSculpey is very forgiving, so I can undo mistakes relatively simply.

he looks like he is having trouble taking a shit

this does not suit him at all

Goddamn, get your act together. Not nearly smug enough.

[Crazedwraith]

That ruler's in inches right? For a second I thought they were even teenier. That an impressive amount of fine control.

[Pick]

Yup, marked in inches.

[Ford Prefect]

Itty-bitty paintings in progress:

That's ... that's too small! Impossible!

[Crazedwraith]

I note all the winners have two eyes, poor Leela, the Judges are obvious cyclopists.

[Shroom Man 777]

Isn't that supposed to be anti-cyclopists? Who's #1?

[Crazedwraith]

I did not. In a similar vein; we don't call people anti-rascists or anti-sexists.

[Shroom Man 777]

How big is that lizard mangs with the super sculpey and the toes?

And do you ever get commissions or whatevers wherein peoples pay you to make an arts? Or are these things all purely non-profit adventures, Pick?
