Real work goes into every glove every time on is built, it is made from scratch, and its much more of an art form that painting, and laying hair.. I sculpt to but you only have to do it once then you mask is ready to mold. Of coarse im gonna get reamed for this but i dont care!<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndDo you not make a pattern for a specific glove that you're building? If not that's quite bizarre. The same principle goes for mask making, the sculpture is the pattern. As for comparing painting a mask to building a glove, some artist put more time into painting eyes then it would take to build a whole glove. ie. Jordu,casey, ectI'm not saying that glove building isn't an art, hard or time consuming. I was an apprentice tin knocker (someone who works with various metals) in the union so im familiar with the medium. IMO I feel there can just be many many more hours put in on a specific paint scheme than a full glove build.I'm sure a few gloves could be built in the time it took to paint and hair this piece![attachment=32185:IMGP0595.jpg]
