Mavros Bust - Practice 05/31/2024

That's when I stumbled across a drawing made by Desar Yuartha, and I thought it would be fun to make such a monster. And it was!  Within that hour, I had the base model sculpted out, then I had to head on over to class, which kinda sucked because I was fired up and ready to continue sculpting. On top of my homework, it took me three days to sculpt the entire thing, Monday to Wednesday, but I'd say in total less than 20 hours in total.  Any challenges I crossed? Plenty.  I kept on making mistakes with the keybindi
