Sculpting challenge, Day 140! Pony continued! Also a bit of tv rambling

[milleniumgypsy]

A quick note to say that I did more sculpting today! I finished up the hindquarters and tweeked a little bit more on the rest of the pony. All I have left to do is put in the grooves for hair and then bake it!

It was actually pretty hot today (high 80s), so sculpting was a bit challenging. lol I have to keep chilling it when it gets too warm from the warmth of my hands, but that gets slightly more frequent when it's also warming up from the heat of environment. I haven't been home for the previous 3 summers so I totally forgot about how summer sculpting was! lol Sculpting at remote field camp wasn't ever something that I did.

No pictures though tonight! I'll take a picture tomorrow before I bake it. I had a pretty bad headache tonight so I wasn't really up for taking pictures. n_n'

Watched the last episode of the Voice (besides the finale tomorrow with the results and winner). I have to say that I have been so disinterested with this season. It's not even that there isn't talent there, but it turned into a big country competition and I really ended up not caring about anything because of that. I like country some of the time (usually more current stuff though). If there was some country in the show I would have been just fine with it but when everyone was singing country all the time, I was sick to death of it. Even if it was sung well, I was like "greaaat... another country song. Solid singing job on a song I don't care about." The Swan Brothers kept singing songs that just annoyed me. Okie from Meskogee, really?? Though I was at least amused by their Eagles cover tonight. The first non-country song they ever sung! It's about damn time. But they sounded like the BeeGees (Usher even mentioned it lol) and that's also not really my thing. :P

I like Michelle and I'm probably most likely to be interested in what she does later if she wins/gets a record deal anyway. Danielle Bradbury has a great voice and will probably get a record deal that I won't even realise exists. The Swan Brothers aren't as good as Danielle Bradbury, and are even further from my taste.

Anyway, I hope next season has more varied music selection.

So it's a sculpting challenge to do the pony or you are challenging yourself? Is it a group on Flickr or something that pick your sculpture?

Oh, no, it's a sculpting challenge to myself. The name sounds a little silly I guess, but I started this project two Nanowrimos ago. I would normally do that writing challenge, but at the time I really really wanted to sculpt instead. So I made a plan (a bit longer term than Nano, and a bit longer term than I expected) to sculpt a bunch of different things.

I should make a post to show everything that I've sculpted up to this point. I have 10 realistic animal figures completely finished, and 4 human figures in progress. I actually was getting close to finishing one of the human figures (he just needs arms and hands) when I was inspired to do this pony project. So this is a bit of a tangent. My plan after the human figures was to work on a BJD. This was the last project in the challenge that I officially set for myself. This pony is a nice aside though because I was getting a bit burned out on the people (especially easy because I was doing all 4 at the same time, so I wasn't feeling like I was getting anywhere very fast).

Nobody picks anything for me, I'm just doing what I do. n_n'

Though the flickr group thing sounds like it could be fun. hehe :3

Ah - I understand, but not a silly name at all.

YES! I would love to see your other completed sculptures. You're doing human figures as well? I can't imagine anything harder to be honest. Amazing.
