wow, excellent work. You are a very good sculptor. How long did this piece take you?

Usually takes about two weeks to get a piece done. This one took longer since I could only work on him in between other projects.

Thanks!

you answered in the exact way i wanted you to. lots of people post things like..."a while"...this is no help. So during this two week period, would you be working on just the one figure? 8 hours-a-dayish?

Typically if I'm working on a commision piece I work on it exclusively until it is finished. If I have some down time in between say waiting for approvals or something I'll work on other pieces, which is what I did with this one. But an 8 hour day is unlikely. I will usually work at least 10 hours a day sometimes 14-16 hours a day depending on how the progression is going. I try not to count hours per day. I try to give myself 2 weeks and get it done in that time frame no matter what it takes.

Thanks, yeah, I actually just started to do this full time about 4 months ago. I figured that between the 3d stuff I know how to do and this stuff I could keep myself busy full time and not have to worry about having a 'real' job. Haven't had to look back yet....

i'm working on getting into miniature sculpting full time, don't have the client build yet, i need to start with 3d work. That will broaden my client base. I just talked to one company who contacted me and likes my work. said they'd keep an "eye" on me, but they do digital right now....grrr...
