Haha I get it now. Didn’t pick up the reference at first

Sort of. I started with a blank. So something that has the general outline of a spoon.

What did u finish it with?

Dude sharpening is so hard. I have a ton of knives and chisels and all kinds of tools for sharpening and I still suck at it. I think it just takes a shit ton of practice or maybe I need to have some one show me live because I also struggle with getting and keeping a good edge and it makes such a big difference.

Also I hear ya on the nose thing. I think it’s one of those first finer details that makes such an huge difference when it looks good/bad. I’ve fucked up many a wizard nose but it’s honestly kind of fun if u can pull it off and fix it after u mistakenly fuck it up lol

What paint do u use? I have a bunch of basswood figures I made and haven’t painted any yet

Hell yea. This looks pretty sweet for a first project.

I also started with a linker video. He makes everything look so easy. Try the wizard next. That was my first thing we’re I was like wow this is actually a recognizable item.

What knife did you use?

Haven’t heard anyone say anything good about those guys in a while. Maybe I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the advice

No time better to pick it back up then the present. Glad you liked the spoon. It’s one of my more recent pieces and a little more polished than previous iterations.

I will admit, I did take inspiration from someone else’s posts. I’m not artistic enough to make things from scratch so I usually look at what other people make, try and imitate, and maybe add some small personal flair if I can.

Holy crap. There’s actually people here. I didn’t know if anyone would actually join this community let alone post

What’s the idea?

I have 2 community tanks. One has guppies and some random plants.

The other has tetras and some random plants

One has a rabbit snail infestation but I like they way they look som I’m keeping them all
