ok... call it advice, call it whatever you want. This is the second mask I have done(my first being my previous lf). I\'ve already put about $500 into making masks and I\'m tying to buy a car. I\'m tied for money and as Bob said, original ideas are cool but noone would buy original masks. The only masks people would buy are ones that have already been done. Good compliments are nice and YES, I am doing this because I love it and because its fun and but ultimately, I\'m doing this for money now. You can\'t keep taking money out with none coming in and I don\'t even have a job yet. I WILL do original stuff but not at first. My skill won\'t get better doing the same character?? Well all I need to do is show you a picture of my first sculpture and a picture of my second to prove that statement wrong. I am getting better. Better at overall form, detail work and eventually paint and hair. I like lf and he\'s a fun character to sculpture. So leave it at that. The next thing I want to do is a generic hood to paint different styles for my pal internalburn to display the hockeys he makes on. Call it unoriginal all you want, doesn\'t bother me.
