New title tagging rule & Spammers

62 Upvotes

As some regulars here may have noticed, this subreddit recieves an astronomical amount of spam, both from human as well as bot spammers, for it's relatively small size. Coming from modding various large subreddits, including one that's literally about products, this amount of spam is not normal. Despite a lot of our less agressive attempts to filter out spam (example, filtering out posts that say "for sale", "rent", or "Services") we still get quite a lot that slip by.

[1] [2] [3]

Why is this subreddit getting so much spam? Who knows. ¯\(°_o)/¯

But we will be resorting to the one thing that has worked for various larger communities, like r/food : mandatory title tags.

From now on, all posts will require at least a tag of one of the below:

[Self]
[Found]
[Help]

You may add words to the tags like:

[I found] this chicken carved out of abestos!

[Help me] carve a chicken out of abestos

For flexibility, but the bare minimum requirement for post titles will be that it must contain one of those words surrounded by brackets.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to modmail us, or ask here.

Censors have been added due to auto-censorship. Note: The fairy does not have any genitalia showing in the original photos, but the images get automatically flagged regardless.

I have no memory of what this was for but it’s not in the house so I assume it’s sold, presumably part of something with that fried egg.

Self (WIP) [Self] I covered my cardboard structure in tape and stuffed the inside with newspaper, should I now paint directly onto the tape or should I add a layer of plaster and then paint?

Help (WIP) [Self] Tried sculpting a small clay figure and looking for feedback on the details

2 Upvotes

I recently started working more with clay and decided to create this small figure as a practice piece. I focused mostly on improving the shape, proportions, and surface details, but I feel like there are still areas that could be better.

I would really appreciate any constructive feedback or tips from other sculptors, especially on things like anatomy, texture, or techniques I can use to improve my next piece. Still learning and enjoying the process, so any advice is welcome!

Self (Complete) [Self] A small Pale Man figure

gallery

47 Upvotes

I made this little Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth around 2017. I made it with airdry clay and some acrylics. At that moment I was so new to this, I couldn't give him any legs. It has fallen down many times over the years but the paint still holds up.

Help (WIP) [Help] A mystery picture

Fig. 5 Gordon with his collection of cactus cushions by the Japanese artist Mrs Masako Sugiyama (Photo: Drude de Looze, date unknown but c.1980)

Hello

I found this picture in this article https://oro.open.ac.uk/68552/1/Gordon%20Rowley.pdf

I searched for that artist Mrs Masako Sugiyama and cant find anything. I didnt search much, but do you know anything about it? https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Gordon-with-his-collection-of-cactus-cushions-by-the-Japanese-artist-Mrs-Masako-Sugiyama_fig3_354495784

Its a mystery x) I assume its an error in the paper. But i cant find anything about cushions like those, i am curious.

Cheers, thanks

Started with a sculpey base and then a 2-part epoxy layer on top for the fur! Tried a bunch of different kinds that's why it's a bunch of different colors.

This is a community of sculptors and sculpture enthusiasts. We welcome all forms of sculpture created at all skill levels. Please review the subreddit rules and guidelines before posting.

BEFORE POSTING, MAKE SURE YOU'RE FOLLOWING THE POST TITLE GUIDELINES HERE

General Guidelines and Rules

Comments should contribute to the conversation. We strongly encourage you to refrain from low-effort comments such as "that's awesome" or "that sucks": they do not promote discussion. If you like a piece, we encourage you to say why; if you hate it, give an honest critique with ideas for improvements (see rule #2); use the "report" button for anything you feel is inappropriate for this subreddit.

We strongly encourage the use of user flair to give others an idea of your experience and area of expertise.

This is not a marketing venue, so please do not link to your shop or website that has a link to your shop in the original submission - use an image hosting site like imgur.com instead. However you may provide a link to your shop only if another user requests it.

Works in progress are allowed. If you would like a critique in order to improve the piece before it is finished, we recommend you tag the title [WIP Critique] to aid visibility.

Follow general reddiquette and Reddit spam guidelines.

Submissions:

This subreddit is solely for sculpture-related posts, discussions, and articles. All forms of sculpture are welcome. Nudes are allowed as long as they're tagged NSFW, but actual pornography will result in an instant ban. Posts requesting identification of a piece for appraisal purposes (such as something found in a thrift store, garage sale, etc.) will be removed. Asking about non-purchased sculpture for general knowledge purposes is okay.

Discussion and Critique:

Keep the discussion civil and professional. Critiques are certainly welcome, but they must be civil and constructive: you can critique and get your point across without insulting or denigrating the artist. Remember that this is a place for all sculptors, that everyone has to start somewhere, and that the medium you love (and this subreddit as well!) can only grow if newcomers are made to feel welcome. You guys are the ones who set the tone for the subreddit. Let's make it excellent.

Submission Suggestions:

When posting, indicate whether the content is your original work or someone else's. When linking to another artist's work, be sure to give credit. Provide as much information as possible about the piece, whether it's yours or someone else's: artist's name, title of the piece, medium, year. This is not required, but it's very strongly encouraged - if you're going to take the time to post an image, take a couple more minutes to do some basic research about it.
