So as I mentioned before , this week I practiced sculpting and sculpted a human bust ( head and upper body from chest , above.. with one full arm) ... So there I was sculpting when I finally kinda finished it and the only thing left to sculpt was his ears.. very well.. It was the lest bit left to sculpt so it was kinda hard to take courage and just start doing it :D ( its always hard to start doing something) anyway , i started to make the right ear( his left) and sculpted for around 3h .. very well , its beautiful and couldn't be more satisfied ( just to show what I am talking about her is a pic :

| The ear is 1,4 cm from bottom to top. |
Ok , that's very cool , but whats the funny bit?...
So I am happy that I have don it , and go to sleep... Next day , I decide to get on with making the other ear... Thats were it gets tricky , the other ear has to be a mirror copy of the one I already have... Human ears really are both the same, and a mirror copy of the other one.. they are symmetrical ... so I cant really just make another ear, without it looking just like this one :(...
Again I am kinda scared of starting to sculpt it... I know its gonna take a long time and gonna be a real pain in the ass to make it look the same...
anyway , I started ,and after almost 3h its done...
Well kinda, the problem is it doesn't line up with the other ear ... It looks perfectly like the other one ,though. However, it was in the wrong place , as this picture clearly shows :(
as much as I didn't want to do that , I had to somehow move it to the right place... Only way of how to do that , was to cut it off . The sculpty is to soft to push around , it can only be moved all together with a bigger piece. And if I baked it - hardened, and then tried to cut it off, I fear it would just break apart...it is very small after all, and quite fragile when baked...
so with fear I might ruin it , and quite mad at myself , I did decide to cut it off. and try to remove it as it is ... I really dint want to make another one, because it took so long , and actually looked the same as the other one..
So when I got all my courage I imagined myself as a plastic surgeon and did it , just like this :
-_- ... I know kinda creepy... However you can finally see what I am sculpting( still not sure if it was the right way to reveal it .. anyway there you go ... better pictures and everything later on , when it is actually finished
Now starts the funny part ...
As a real professional I take a brake , well everybody wants to take a break after something kinda stressful has been done , and before something even more stressful is about to be done...
So I walk around , stretch my legs, go online, chat a bit, watch some videos ... I have this habit or just thing that I cant keep my hands calm, I have to be doing something with them all the time. So suddenly I realize I am wrapping something in my fingers.... I look to my hand , and see a small piece of the sculpty( the material I use , its like a plasticine/clay) wrapped and kneaded in a small ball... Well that's okay , I am used to doing that ...
I continue watching some music videos and kneading the ball... then finally I decide to get back to work. I get my guy , I get my tools , I turn on my table lamp... And I start to search for my ear ...
And then it hit me! The small ball I was kneading was the ear !!!!!!!! :O :O :O
 |
Obviously the way my face looked , and the way I felt ... and after that the other meme with the long fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu--- ( you all know what I mean)
( I believe I don't have to start explain what I felt like , these two memes say it all!)
So that's kinda it .. I don't know why but my mother and family found that incredibly funny.. so I though I may share -_- ...
Or maybe the funny bit was , when the next day I finally got around to doing the ear again... This time it was also perfect ,in fact better than the first one....sadly it was once again not in the right place , so I ended up cutting it off again ... i don't know why but Homer Simpson comes to my mind... I took brake again, and did the same things that the day before... YES and even the kneading , this time however I realized much more sooner , and stopped right away , but it was too late , in my hand I had a nice solid little ball again ... I started to panic , still hoping and not believing I did that again, I looked for the ear everywhere and couldn't find it :( ... such a dumb ass , I though to myself ... then I took the human for closer inspection to imagine how would he look without a ear , because I was just completely fed up with EARS!!! ... and then I noticed that there is something stuck to his arm that shouldn't be there , something like ... like a ear!!!! :) (*me gusta*) ... It was the ear I was looking for , and it was almost intact ... omg , I felt soooo lucky , I literally (almost) peed my pants from happiness :) ...
:D :D ...
In the end I stuck the ear into the right place. And it was done.. well kinda :D ... I actually realized that the first ear I made was a bit out of the place... So just skipping all the part were I cursed and punched my head against the wall... I did cut the ear of and put it into the right place ... This time with no mishaps ( or just me being dumb and inattentive ) , probably the fact that the first ear was solid and hard helped :D , otherwise it was probably doomed to my kneading habit :D...
So that's it folks .. I hope you found at least something funny in all this ( I certainly didn't ... just joking , when looking back to it , it was funny ... not only Homer can do something stupid and still be funny :D ( I don't know why I mention Simpsons again ...probably cuz I watched them recently and , this just seemed too much of a Homer-ish accident )
I guess you probably want to see how did the ears finally turned out , right?.. Well let me see...
hmm.. I don't have any quality picture to show you right now ... If you want to see( well I want to show :D ) you gonna have to come back tomorrow :)
Ok goodnight for now !...( its late *no me gusta*)
