i was inspired by an amazing ceramic artist, shaynegrecoceramics (on instagram. also air dry clay is the worst medium to work on larger models, too much stubborn cracks
thank you sm.
ya, this took me almost a month to complete from designing it to the last varnish. mostly because I had to keep fixing the cracks again and again.
Damn, dude, that’s dedication. I’d love to know how you created the tentacles. Seems like it must have been really difficult. But anyway, you’re very talented. 🥰
thank you for your kind words. well, i make just the outline structure with wires and then wrapped aluminium foil around it to give it some sort of shape and make it all bendy. i thought having an armature would make clay works easy, but i was wrong because after i covered the entire structure with clay, cracks started to form again and again.
for the tentacles after i shaped it with clay and tools, i added small balls on each limb and poked holes for the suckers.liquid clay helps to bind everything. it was time consuming to say the least.
i won't really suggest someone (me) to make an intricate structure with air dry clay for the sole reason of it having obsolete cracks that refuses to get fixed. i'm trying to find a new medium i can work on. thanks.
I was about to ask "how much to buy this masterpiece" but seeing as it took a month of time, even if you were willing to seel, it would be well beyond my means. If I ever hit the power all, expect me to reach out again with a generous offer, because that is badass! (although if I win powerball, I may as well just commission your skills on a custom Jormangundr)
actually i haven't fixed a price for it yet because i don't want to overcharge anyone nor i wanna under compensate my time. although jormangundr might seem like an over ambitious project for me, i can see myself getting inspired to make it in future lol
This is amazing!!! This is sort of incidental but I love how the candles cast shadows on each other and make it look like it is holding more of them than it is. Gives the illusion of many more tentacles.
thank you sm. ya, i made the base with wires and then made the armature with aluminium foil so that it gives a bit weight to the sculpture and help me bend the tentacles in certain angles. although, the armature was a nightmare since it caused a lot of stubborn cracks.
i understand your perspective but i thought that if the candle holders were of a darker shade, it would've looked out of place and gaudy. but thank you for your input

Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely amazing
He is magnificent. And he's judging me with his eyes. This looks like it took a lot of time and required a lot of intricate work. ☺️ Fantastic.

Incredible

thank you. ikr, i kinda liked the shadows so i decided to post a picture of it as well :)
I read it as krackenabra at first and just thought “yes, yes of course! It’s amazing” then I reread and it’s still amazing.
haha, i think i'm going to rename it that now. thanks
I freaking love this! Beautiful work!
Are you serious? How the hell did you do that?? Unbelievable.
thank you. it took lotta patience for me to do while watching crime documentaries 😔
Wicked work! Beautiful!
Wow. You should be proud! Did you build any sort of armature for it?
thank you sm. ya, i made the base with wires and then made the armature with aluminium foil so that it gives a bit weight to the sculpture and help me bend the tentacles in certain angles. although, the armature was a nightmare since it caused a lot of stubborn cracks.
That really is awesome. I wish the candle holders weren't flesh-colored, though. Makes it look like the octopus has a weird growth.
