I had to really consider what I wanted to convey here. Do I want this to look like an art toy sculpture or more like a classic sculpture? I knew the decision would have consequences for all future projects. Going for the toy look would make my projects look artificial and 3D-printed. So, I caved in and gave the guitarist a more rough metallic patina appearance. I had to coat everything in black and apply a metallic finish with red acrylic to achieve that.
There is no going back. I even ordered more clay, this time a more professional one, so all my future sculptures in this series will be originals without reproductions. However, I changed my mind and will sell this one because the work looks and feels more solid after baking and painting. Reasonable care of this piece can make it last on any collector's shelf.
