Description First race I ever created. Finally sculpted this one about a month ago, took one day to sculpt and half of one day to paint. Mostly done because I was really sick and needed something I didnt have to look at to do, and since most of my sculpting is done blind, this fit the bill.

I love these guys. This particular Sav's name is Ixlan, the manticore cub on his shoulder blade is called Orak.

this is amazing, on someone else's comment you said that stress makes you go blind for short periods of time? thats horrible, how long has that been going on? and its amazing that you have come so far despite your partial blindness.. pretty sure i would just sit there blind. anyway, back to the sculpture - this is so intricately detailed, my jaw about dropped when i saw it. is this only sculpey or is there a wire base? you've definately got a new watcher : ).

Haha, aww, thanks the stress blindness is a pretty rare thing, I've only known one other person who ever got it that wasnt in my family- it seems to be passed on to females in my line. Fortunately, it happens less and less as you age- I used to get it once a week and now I'm down to having mild cases once a month. and..yeah you do a lot of just sitting there listening to audiobooks The sculpture itself was done allmost entirely in sculpey- I wanted an armature but I lacked the wire..so I made a makeshift one out of pennies and twist-ties.

haha, pennies and twist ties? cool idea : ). stress blindness definately sounds like it sucks, but if its only once a month, that wouldn't be bad. that'd suck as a kid though, as you'd have it so much more often and when you're little you wouldn't know how to deal with it.

Yeah exactly A lot of it is just knowing how to prevent it- and a lot of the time that can be as simple as feeling the first pang when you first awake in the morning and then *not* getting up or opening your eyes for another hour.

I've got a rare disability where stress can cause me to go blind for short periods of time, and during those times I sculpt and wear a black band that makes me look like Illidan from Warcraft 3. Seriously, I have the hair and everything

thanks man ^^ and the best advice I can give you is a partial yoda quote- There is no trying to sculpt, there is just sculpting do it once or twice and you'll get it. Oh and use sculpey 3 or higher, potters clay sucks for most things I do, anyway.
