OPTIMUS PRIME 🤖 Clay Art Contest #4 Entry - Timelapse and process photos 📽️
This entry is specially made for the clay at contest held by @josejirafa!
I used a screwdriver because I forgot to buy carving tools and I bought some Play-doh.
I have always loved sculpting but I haven't sculpted in a long long time but it's great to start again.
The challenge this time is to mold our
Favorite cartoon character
Now I've watched transformers cartoons and movies and I love robots, machines and even considered taking up a course for college related to machines before in highschool.
👉Optimus Prime👈
I used the movie robot as reference since my mom suggested so 😅✌️
They laughed and said "let's see if she can do it"
Well, here it is! In the process of making this I kept telling myself "this is so hard" cause the clay is so soft? Haha I read about the contest yesterday and me and my brother @vocafrost immediately wanted to join! Im glad cause my brother is making so much effort to try art because of steemit 💋💋💋 merci steemit ☝️ Hi everyone 🌷 Okay so we got our clay now! Im so excited.
They said it looked great. Phew!

However it's so hard to decide which anime/cartoon or comic character to draw. Good thing I was able to brave the challenges of sculpting machines haha.

🎨Title: Optimus Prime
🎨Medium: Modeling Clay
🎨Materials: Clay, screw driver, clean sheet of paper, reference
⏳Duration: 2-3 hours
Incase any of you are wondering, I could not sculpt the whole body for a number of reasons
❌The clay is too soft
❌Too little clay
❌There is no support/ wire skeleton on a base for a proper standing sculpture to be made
❌ Limited colors
Although
Creating a half bust of Optimus:
☑️ Saves time
☑️ Helps more focus
☑️ Easier
☑️ Portable
☑️ Saves on clay
You can mix some colors to make a few gradations so you'll have more options on different shades if you plan on making one.
SOME PROCESS PHOTOS 📸
🎨What did I do here?
I initially made an egg shape or oval of the face then I added pieces of clay and layering them.
We add, not subtract
Leonardo da Vinci used a big block of marble and started and chiseled it into the Pieta. Some sculptures work that way
Here I add layers to make a whole, we mold this way. Just a little subtraction later on for reshaping and details.
add add add more
🎨 Add details and more parts
This clay is super easy to mold and you just rub it and the surface smoothens and its easy to stick and join parts together.
I used yellow clay instead of white to emphasize light and also to add color variation.
🎨Keep going
Do your best Jacinta!
You can opt to buy a clay which is harder so its more moldable into angular shapes and doesn't flatten easily.
Some layers join when I need them to be defined and separate.
☝️Be very careful☝️
Thankfully the canons were sturdy, almost killed me.
They fell after a few hours but it's okay.
📸Model box📸
I put it inside a model box. This box by the way was given to me by my ever so thoughtful bestie @fukumineko 🌷
Thanks! It helps a lot!
The following are the rest of the photos I took of my clay model
The lights are so nice 😅✌️
Opti's bust
The light reveals true color, shape and sloppy works!
I wish I could do more details or maybe if I MADE A BIGGER ONE...
🤔💭
I'd make it more precise and not look like a birthday cake icing decor. Lol
That's done! 🎉🎊

Never give up on your dreams! God bless you all 🕊️✝️💮
Your work and your write up is perfect! I can see that you really take time to construct your posts. I have to say that this is truly exceptional! The details are so intricate but perfectly assembled to create that 3 dimensional effect. You are really good at this!
I agree with having modelling/molding clay if you want to create a big pieve or one which really stands on its own. Some people even use polymer clay and bake it. Others make it using flour. I guess yours is also another medium.
Do take my teenie weenie upvote hopefully I can grow more influence here so i can reward you with what is really due for you. And thanks for entering my contest!
It's an honor to have you in my contest.
