I wouldn't worry about it being symmetrical. Nothing in life that's organic is. Symmetry is streamlined, but it's also uninteresting. You don't look at a computer monitor and go "wow! That's amazing!" but you may say that about a seashell.

Point is, don't sweat the small stuff. The sculpture looks great as it is, and really high quality at that. You should be paid for that kind of thing only if you want to be. I won't burden you, though. I'd rather let you do what you do for the sheer fun of doing it.

Do you do commission? Because I'd be interested in a Sableye, seriously...

Eevee September 25th, 2013 12:01 PM

Whoa! See this is why I'd love to start making things out of clay! It's so smooth and large o: looks official but at the same time has your style into it. ^^
Very nice! I'd LOVE to see more :3

If you're looking for suggestions, perhaps you could try Eevee?

Thanks, I appreciate that. I know it's not 100% perfect symmetrical, but my thinking was along the same line of yours =)
Ideally I'd love to get some steady pay out of sculpting. Commissions and a few side projects are what I do right now, but it's all good =D

Keep up all the suggestions, I love to hear them!

Thanks =)
I used normal Acrylics. Let's see, I used Americana and Folk Art Acrylics. I used whatever paintbrushes worked for what I needed, nothing special. I just bought a cheap bulk pack at Jo-Ann Fabrics (an art store) a long time ago, I use those. I used a matte spray top coat to seal it.

Also thank you to everyone commenting, sorry I don't respond but I don't want to clog up the post with tons of thanking. Just know it's appreciated =)

Oh god, look at it's fat cute face. If only I had the faction of talent you have q_q

Cool I will try my hand at some of my own. Won't look anywhere near as good as yours though!

Raikou October 28th, 2013 10:49 AM

Oh gosh, that's so adorable!! It's very professional looking, too. :D

Sinjuda October 31st, 2013 11:08 AM

This is very well made. The smile is defiantly my favorite aspect of it. Keep up the good work!! Did you just create it from your mind or did you have some sort of sketch?

Pilkie October 31st, 2013 11:26 AM

This looks amazing. I love how smooth and professional this looks.

Thanks. I just used a bunch of reference, and chose a position that was typical for Pikachu to be in =)

blue November 1st, 2013 7:41 AM

Now that looks awesome, great work! You've painted it to perfection pretty much. ;D

Dexter Morgan November 1st, 2013 9:00 AM

it look's great! i like the expression on his eyes :3

BadPokemon November 8th, 2013 4:16 PM

Thats AMAZING!!!! I have no artistic skills, and I'm amazed at the sculpture. It looks very cool and well done!

Fairy November 9th, 2013 12:35 PM

So, Tsurera, what Pokemon is next for you? Any new projects in the works? :)

Oh man, I still haven't decided. I'm a first gen Pokemon gal so i was thinking maybe just doing the first gen starters (charmander, bulbasaur, squirtle) but everyone has done them. So I'm not sure.

Right now I have some commissions to work on, so it'll give me some time to think. =)

Treecko November 9th, 2013 1:42 PM

Woah, this is very well done .It looks as if it could be real merchandise! The face structure is a bit off but like dbp said it doesn't have to be perfect and perfect symmetry is just odd looking and feels unrealistic in some cases. I'd love to see more of your work someday so keep posting these and keep updating!
