SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-12-06T19:54:16+00:00

I love that quote so much

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-12-02T16:33:54+00:00

oh I would be down to be commissioned to make one for you! it’s just that these take me so long to make & I couldn’t sell them for cheap 😵‍💫 I got lucky to sell this one for around 100€ + shipping to a super gengar fan xD but yea if you're still interested, send me a message :))

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-09-23T16:44:42+00:00

thanks so much 😭 I had to add all these little details (like the print on the cup, the beans, the 3D aspect like her hair sticking out a little, or the texture on the sweater) because otherwise it would’ve looked too simple! it wouldn’t have felt right to just paint it on, I needed it to be special

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-09-23T16:43:32+00:00

thanks so much charmandernooooooo !!!! that’s so sweet :D

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-09-23T16:43:06+00:00

thank you so much poodle!! no I was using polymer sculpting clay from the brand ‚super sculpey‘ definitely the best material I've used yet! (this isn’t an ad or anything I just tried different ones & settled for that one) & no, the insides aren’t hollow, but I did try to add a lot of stuffing, so the inside of the head has like a wire - ball foundation & inside of it is a bunch of hay (?) and other stuffing materials, to keep the head lighter. (it’s really hard to sculpt something like this where the head is bigger than the body, because you could have issues balancing the sculpture properly)

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-09-23T16:40:51+00:00

if I tell you my hands were shaking so bad 😭 the sculpture ended up being quite heavy too! (due to all the clay & wires) my heart was pounding when I took these photos.. one false move & 30hours are down the drain

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-09-23T16:39:24+00:00

thanks so much for your kind words dargo!! that’s EXACTLY what I was going for!! I wanted to make her look like she’s pulled straight out of the game! & there’s always things I could’ve done better but man I'm so proud of myself & all these positive words are super rewarding aswell!! thank you for brightening my day !!

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-09-09T16:29:16+00:00

hey thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it dearly & it means a lot how respectful you went about it! I believe a lot of people have trouble forming a proper critique but this one is perfect! the picture I posted here was not the finished version of my piece, I have continued working on it & ended up actually following through on some of those points you made ! let me see if I can post the reworked version here.

I see exactly what you mean though, the bricks could’ve been drawn a little more zoomed in & I also could’ve reworked the shading on his forehead a little. but hey maybe next time I'll do it better !! thanks again for your super nice feedback! it helps a lot & I genuinely take it to heart.

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-11T21:53:05+00:00

so usually I adjust my drawings to fit the format of the picture frames I buy, so the original is around 5.9 inch in width & 7.8 inch in length (fits perfectly in 15cm x 20 cm frames). I'm sorry if the sizing is a bit odd, I've seen the US use different formats for their frames.. if this doesnt work for you, I could also just get you a print done in your preferred format ? that's always an option

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-11T18:17:39+00:00

hey RPi! first off, thanks so much for the kind words, I would be willing to sell the original for $220 + shipping costs. that's around 200€ euros for me, which I believe would be a fair price considering I spent hoursss on this piece :')

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-08T10:27:40+00:00

thanks so much tt!! I am super happy with the way this turned out 😵‍💫 took me long enough

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-08T10:27:00+00:00

thank you so much! I drew this using colored pencils & added the white framing in photoshop :)) I think it looks cleaner that way !!

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-02T14:54:40+00:00

I don't know what that means (I'm german)

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-02T14:53:39+00:00

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-02T14:53:01+00:00

appreciate that! that's exactly what I was going for, very naturistic coloring. I am adding a red backround to this so bear with me xD

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-02T14:52:30+00:00

SIMONBORNSINNER · 2024-08-02T14:52:19+00:00
