[@kaseyfaul2]

The base looks like that of a field that was burnt but somehow the scarecrow survived with no damage. This was awesome, as always.

[@daringnotdoombringer7085]

Crap I could have used that for the story 😅

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

Maybe it’s a totem that holds a witch’s power. She was hung when she was discovered to be a witch after she revived her lover from drowning in the river, and she cursed the land of his family to be burned barren every sixty years, since that was the lifespan she envisioned sharing with her beloved. If she couldn’t survive her love of their son, why should they profit from the land upon which she was torn from him forever? The field has burned five times since her death, and each time, only the cursed scarecrow survived. It stands it’s vigil alone in the field, surveying its surroundings with glittering citrine eyes, covered in runes, that follow the viewer wherever they go. It’s always watching and waiting for the next burn. 🔥 Or maybe it was put up after the fire. Who knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@edwardskidmore5746]

I have a suggestion for another mythical creature sculpture, a giant cyclops and I had an idea what it would maybe look like. It might have large three toed feet and thinner legs that are separate, and would have a loincloth on the pelvic region, a large rounded belly and a overall overweight look to the torso, maybe has a slight hunch, thinner biceps and larger forearms almost Popeye like in appearance, large two fingered and one thumbed hands, and a head with an under bite with orcish teeth and one angry eye and big bushy eyebrow, maybe its ears are pointy and goblin like, maybe it has large nose or a small nose, something tells me it would have a small nose, this was an idea that sounded like something you might have interest in but I don't know. You have all the power when it comes to your sculptures. If in the small chance you see this I wish you luck with your future and happy sculpting. (:

[@baileywilliams975]

Maybe a folklore story series.

[@miceandgods4171]

I don't sculpt but out of curiosity, what makes you decide to paint an area and then blot a watered down color on top for fine details vs. Paint with a dark and feather a lighter color on top to bring out the details?

[@orionwesley]

omg your hair looks different but cute.

[@mercedesryherd3491]

You need shirts that say “it’s super easy, but super effective”.

Honestly, I'm living for how scary a scarecrow would be who had earth elemental powers. Like: a crow lands on his shoulder and those thorny bramble patch vines swoosh up and yank it apart or engulfs it. Great job on the sculpt!

I’m always impressed (and often surprised) by your attention to detail. In this particular case, the stem. While almost everyone else would have stopped at the first piece of clay you attached, you added the extra vine texture AND THEN the sunken area at the cut that happens after the vine dries out... amazing attention to detail.
