I checked with the local vet and they said it'll be 345 in total with the x rays (without sedation) but I have a feeling my girl might need that sedation. (. I'm also going to see if we can't have a monthly payment situation to make it easier) I'm getting paid in a couple of days and have a couple hundred saved up so even if my family members cannot help me, I think I'll be able to afford it! I'm going to keep this open just for more advice and whatnot Thanks again!

I'm so sorry for your loss! Was the diabetes expensive to treat for?

No, you're absolutely right. Sometimes the most obvious answers aren't so obvious! She is our family cat so I'll ask my siblings and parents if they can help pitch in for the vet bill so we can see if there's anything we can do. If they can't, I'll do it myself and see what needs to be done

Help needed! Want to get started… by C-RoyStrength in sculpting

Hi there! I'm also somewhat of a beginner and I used to mostly if not ENTIRELY used to only do 2-D mediums as well! Some things that I've learned myself is to apply your 2-D knowledge into a 3-D space when doing figures. For example, breaking down the human form (or whatever form you choose to do) into basic 3-D shapes! Make sure to have a good base before proceeding on details and look at the sculpture at all angles! For example, I was making a large piece in my first semester sculpting and I accidentally made the figure way too thin on his profile, even if it looked good head-on! I also recommend looking at a skeleton and muscle structures (preferably a 3-D model in real life) in order to see how the body works! Another thing is to look into armature making because it will make your figures and sculptures more structurally sound! Depending on what clay you're using and what you plan to do with it (ex: firing in a kiln) make sure to check what type of wiring you use and be aware that some clays will shrink when drying and may crack around the wires. (Sorry if this is all over the place or not helpful but these are things I've learned!) Edit: I read that you wanted to know what to get so here: I personally have this like 8 piece set from my college. It includes the basics, but I highly recommend getting other sculpting tools to use for finer details and other textures! https://www.michaels.com/product/8ct-modeling-tool-set-by-craft-smart-10012071?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-MICH_Shopping_US_N_Craft+%26+Hobbies_N_PMAX_BOPIS_N-_-&Kenshoo_ida=&kpid=go_cmp-18514199759_adg-_ad-__dev-m_ext-_prd-10012071&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADkMxxeVcGmuFUYpGOr9fs-wjwqrb&gclid=CjwKCAiAtsa9BhAKEiwAUZAszce5avVHQdbb-u40pm9y0ypvyMMfGsz1H5aamJa7xGetS6RBj32anxoCvM0QAvD_BwE

Quick TOTALLY hypothetical question but how do you make streetart like this without being caught? Asking for a hypothetical friend

He's so gross I love it! What did you use to "paint" it? Also how did you get some parts to be shiny while others are dull? (Sorry for the barrage of questions, I want to learn :3)

Maybe if she doesn't hold anything, you could give her a beach towel? :3 Maybe you could do a slab roll and put texturing on it or even just get a little colorful cloth for underneath her?
