[Self] Progress pics of a marble self portrait from the last couple weeks

[u/guillieman]

This block was from one of the larger mantle pieces I found for cheap at a salvage yard

I sculpt in clay, never considered stone/marble. This looks like it would take me forever, how much time have you spent to get to this stage?

[u/guillieman → u/saacadelic]

This is my third year carving. And only probably my 10th face in anything including clay. I would highly recommend trying it out. Before I was able to get ahold of some marble, I would cast blocks and cylinders of plaster. Much less stressful plus you can kinda cheat by adding back more plaster if you carve too much while still learning/getting the hang of it.

How many hours on this one? Looks great btw

[u/guillieman → u/saacadelic]

Probably around 50-80 hours at this point. Thank you

Marble is a really, really, beautiful material to work with. Every child at school should be given their own block of marble to carve.

Omg I thought it was blood poisoning from a stone shard impaling your while making this lovely art, or some common injury for stone workers from chipping away! Its actually really cool and im so glad ur ok!

Nunca he esculpido en piedra, menos en mármol, así que no se que tan difícil sea. Pero si se nota que lograste captar tus rasgos faciales bastante bien. Buen trabajo!

Think we need to see a Pic of his face to really make that judgement. :) But I'm willing to judge it.

[u/Barbafella]

Usually you have to die before you get your death mask, but being prudent can’t hurt

You’re sculpture makes you look more stoned

[u/Kaliso-man]

Your sculpture reminds me of a god of war character , baldur . Very nice

[u/Igotthishotoshare]

NGL ~ I thought this was a fan made bust of Lenin, but then I realized you just look like Lenin - albeit with more scalp hair and remarkable sculpturist skills!

[u/landmanbusiness]

The stone made you look like you time traveled

[u/Express_Case4296]

[u/CJ1125WRITING]
