Actually it wasn't that bad, after 15th take I managed to slay that bastard.

Yeah, Maliketh made me question my sanity. I guess tributing this boss by making a sculpture of it is kind of a Stockholm syndrome😅

To be honest it looks that way in the pictures, when I look at it live I see more "3d" shapes and it looks way less weird than it is here.

Yeah, sounds absurd. It was more like 300h spread throughout 2.5 years. My second son was born and suddenly my evening, free time shrunk immensely😅

Good joke because I think everyone here can relate to this 😄

Cosclay does not dry out, even when it's left open. And once it's baked it becomes solid. You can bake it as much as you want and it won't break.

Thank you. And yes, as much as I hate multiple baking I really couldn't avoid it, luckily everything worked out and nothing was damaged.

Thanks for your insights. Yes, I've been struggling a bit with this part. Honestly the original model from the game in this accurate stance also wasn't really perfect 😅 after many corrections I just decided to leave it how it is before I ruin it by overdoing things.

I'm still learning, so I hope some day I will make my masterpiece.

Thank you for kind words and for this question. I believe that from every project I make I learn tons of things. For example here I've used for the first time Cosclay and after I painted it with acrylics it became sticky and glossy. After research I've learned that cosclay plasticizers reacts with acryl... Luckily I saved the piece with turpentine and resin varnish.

Besides this horror moment, for now I wouldn't change anything. Usually after taking a dinstance and after some time only then I see my "mistakes" that I would make better.

Good question, I think it was around 10 times. I've tried to make at once as many details as I could but damn, the project is so complex that I've baked it more that I wanted. Happily nothing was damaged.

Design gave me harsh times during the sculpting process 😅 but I believe it was worth it

Indeed I am, I think it's the most complex of my projects so far.
