    What’s his name?

    Me in my head: “aquatonius” or something ancient and weird.

    Artist: “Dave. He looks like a Dave.”

    • Greystorm1619

      October 11, 2022 at 10:33 pm

      @Chris Baker thanks for the info! But as an artist myself, I think it’s only fair to pay artists for their expertise and time

    • 🎼Mrs. Self Distruct

      October 12, 2022 at 12:13 pm

      In all seriousness though, and not my somewhat sarcastic take..Greystorm, I realize now that you must not be aware that for one, the person who commented is not only talking about taking advantage of a free trial, but that of an online “school” where artists are paid already when they do workshops, etc.
      There is no taking the smokes out of needy artists mouths, no guilt needed to go for that free trial and another two if need be 😉

    Loved watching him on Making Monsters. Wish they would give him his own show…. but ONLY if every episode he’s got 6-8 hours to sculpt before he has to be on a plane. That happened dang near every time and he made the most incredible/amazing/unbelievable (pick your favorite) stuff.
