I gotta go buy some pink crayons

[Reply #2 on:]

Heh. Pretty nifty.

[Reply #3 on:]

Thanks.
I noticed that I did not make his tentacles(or whatever the word for them is) protrude quite enough. I guess that will have to wait for the pink crayons.

Like your Zoidberg crayon craving!  Looks just like him!  You should make one of Bender as well. 

[Reply #5 on:]

Simply amazing. It's so tiny. Are you planning on making any more? This thing is awesome!!

[Reply #6 on:]

Thanks guys. 
Bender is a great idea. He is already shaped like a crayon a bit. The antenna is going to be the biggest challenge.

[Reply #7 on:]

What tools do you use?

[Reply #8 on:]

I used that sharp tool that comes with a potter tool kit(photo on my page). I guess a dental tool word work well also. Before I used that I used a mechanical pencil that I would sharpen by scraping it at an angle.

[Reply #9 on:]

I want to gnaw on it.

(That's what she said!)

thats pretty nifty

[Reply #12 on:]

I would like to see a Bender one as well. You're really good at sculpting.

Holy crapzilla that's amazing! I love unique forms of Futurama art. Please show more of your stuff here.

arrrgh. Made a go for bender but didn't work well. Antena broke and the deep set eyes did not work out. Maybe another day.

[Reply #15 on:]

Pick yourself up a chunk of soapstone and go nuts. No need to limit yourself to crayon if you like to carve.

[Reply #16 on:]

You should make the bender without the eyes and antenna. Make the eyes and antenna seperately, then put them in/on afterwards.

[Reply #17 on:]

Great art mctc, what did you carve it with?

[Reply #18 on:]

Wow, thats cool!

[Reply #19 on:]

nice work

[Reply #20 on:]

Oh wow~! This is really awesome. I can't wait to see your sculpture of Bender 

[Reply #21 on:]

Wow... It's terrifying how good that is... I have no talent whatsoever with sculpture... I'm tempted to pull a Sylar and steal your ability...

[Reply #22 on:]

Still no bender but I just thought of this and had to say it.
he is a crayon crustation!

[Reply #23 on:]

Very creative, I like it a lot, Lol.

[Reply #24 on:]

That is impressive, good luck getting Bender the way you want him.

[Reply #25 on:]

I have added one more crayon to my blog. Sorry no bender yet it is Venus of Willendorf.

[Reply #26 on:]

ok well still no luck with any more futurama themed crayon carving. bender and kiff were both busts. I did make this though.
and then I figured it out. I can only carve cephalopods.

[Reply #27 on:]

You should try Umbriel's face.That would be cool.
Maybe your good with sea creatures of the more human variety.

[Reply #28 on:]

bender and kiff were both busts.

Aren't the supposed to be busts?
HA! Get it?! Busts!!

Ahhh.... good stuff.

Even if you're having trouble carving certain things, keep at it. After all, that is a great squid you carved! I like how it looks as though the creature is emerging from the paper wrapping.

[Reply #30 on:]

wow this is a really amazing artform! :O so creative   nice work!

[Reply #31 on:]

Good work, mctc.

[Reply #33 on:]

Nicely done, very detailed. Should have put it in your first thread though. Merge.

[Reply #34 on:]

Guess the cast member

[Reply #35 on:]

Kif!
Do I get prize?

[Reply #36 on:]

Oh my god your Venus of Willendorf out of a crayon is fantastic. It made me smile so big. Fertility sculptures on the go!

thanks! I have been wanting to revisit that one for a while now. I have had a lot of practice since I made that and I want to try again and see if i can make it a little closer to the right proportions. It is an amazing thing to work off of. If you google image venus of willendorf there are so many funny takes on it out on the web. I think the knit one is my favorite.

Too bad the crayon used on Leela isn't her usual purple but other than that... NEAT!
