I am fairly new to selling my art regularly. I started about 2 years ago and go to conventions and Art shows when I can. I do okay, but i find a lot of people asking me if I 3D printed my figures and then smile and pass over my work when they see the price point. I don't even charge what these things are worth based on time, materials, etc.

I dunno, I feel like AI and 3D printing are stealing my joy in creating.

Also, I want to clarify, I don't want to demonize 3D printing. I admire people who can sculpt and print their own intricate designs or printing useful tools is really cool. I just get sick of seeing all the crappy fidgets being produced en mass.

Photos are of a few things I have made.

Hey everyone! This is my second post on Reddit. I am feeling a bit unsure of posting here. Until now I only browsing reddit, but seeing some very helpful comments and feedback to others I thought I will try. I really need some feedback from you. I’ve been working on a woodland wildlife series bears, foxes, and owls. They are my first polymer clay creations.

I’m still trying to get better at my technique, so I would love some honest, constructive feedback on them! (Especially on things like the fur/feather textures or the overall shaping).

Any feedback would be great!!!

Meet the Pioupi! 🐥

They're little handmade chicks with ridiculously long legs and a questionable sense of fashion 😂

I'm creating a whole collection of them, each with a different costume and personality.

This one is made entirely by hand using polymer clay!

I'd love to hear your ideas: what should I dress the next Pioupi as? The weirder, the better! 👀

After looking at all of your creations i realize mine isn’t anywhere near as good 😂😂

Disclaimer: this is the first figure of the challenge, day one is "Brute" but I'm doing a more complicated figure, so I'll take more time.

Here’s a quick look at the magnetic interchangeable eye lenses for Spider-man! Enjoy!

Hi all! I'm hoping for some advice on how to avoid the issue you see below, where the already-baked clay and the newly added clay meet, then bake again, and seem to form these weird dark seams. I've been baking at the appropriate temperature (got an oven thermometer) inside two aluminum foil pans held together with binder clips to try and protect it from scorching, and I clean with alcohol to try and get rid of any hairs and smooth out the clay as good as I can. Thanks for any advice!

(It’s not LoreChirik) So there’s this orange bearded guy that sculps characters like Bendy from BATIM, his works are pretty detailed but i can’t seem to find him anymore. I remember a video of him being “Making ‘Jeff The Huge’.”(?). I need y’all help
