Artist's Comments
Material is Primo Sculpey. There is no armature and it has been hollowed due to cracks in the cooked surfaces. This one is straight foreword, it’s a Greek god named Hephaestus. He was the son of Hera and was an ugly son of a bitch who liked to make things, namely metal things. He also makes Zeus’s lighting bolts. He fashioned the first woman ect.
With this particular sculpture I wanted to try something other than super Sculpey. The packaging on Primo clamed that I was the best and indicated that it was durable enough not to crack. Well it did. In fact it cracked all over. It cracked in places that were under the prescribed thickness with no apparent force acting on them. Let’s just say there is more super glue than primo in this one. Bye the way if anyone has the perfect sculpting material please let me know I’d really like to get my hands on it so I can concentrate on a good sculpt and not have to worry or deal with… Cracking Shrinking Breaking Burning Drooping Supporting Cooking Melting Curing Gluing Sanding Or cutting That would be great, nice talking with yah Peter. Daily DeviationGiven 2009-07-08What makes Hephaestus by ~Merkaba998 What makes particularly interesting is the massive amount of differences within the piece, the number of different textures, shapes and patterns that have all be woven together into one piece of work. The lighting combined with the red clay really helps to give a strong sensation of heat. The detail on the entire piece from the skin and soft tissue to the wood of the hammer, the variety of stones and even the scarring around his face has been perfectly constructed.
