Artist's Comments

This began way back in May, near the end of my last school year, i was fiddling with clay one day trying to think of something , i thought of NiGHTS and how much i loved him, AND how no body ever makes him out of clay! (except for one time on ebay...) so i decided to challenge myself and make nights. i tried to make him, but he became deformed and mishapen. then roughly a month later i tried again with a bit more success. but a few months later i became unsatisfied with it, so i sculpted over the the parts i didnt like. it looked better but when late october came i again became unsatisfied with it and broke and scraped off anything i didnt like. I remade, remolded, resculpted over what was left of the sculpture with sculpey clay like i did in the beginning, and now hes finally finished!! From all the off and on times ive worked on this id say it would be equal to that of 2-3 weeks! ive never worked on anything more harder. and the BIGGEST pain in the ass to finish was the diamond on his chest, i just couldnt get the shape right, but after an hour of cutting and trying i finally got it
(i forgot to ment that i made the diamond shiny using super glue, but you cant really tell with the pic... an I KNOW, I KNOW, the jewel is too big... it took forever to get it in the right shape, and i got frusterated and just left it alone when i got as close to it as i wanted. sorry... maybe ill fix it one day...)

LORD knows how many times hes been broken, shattered, fallen apart, mishapen, deformed, remolded, resculpted, glued, and rebuilt. i lost count long ago! but now its all paid off!! So far this the BEST sculpture ive made with sculpey. the tools i used were my hands and two different clay knives for smoothing, and getting the really tight places. I love this, man! Inspiration for this comes mostly from the fact that hardly anyone ever makes nights by clay, the rest came from alot of people on the nights site and TRIPPY. (astrima)

Thanks for looking everyone!! :)

UPDATE: (over a year later...)

My NEW NiGHTS sculpture can be found here : [link]

You so rule, that is the single greatest piece of NiGHTS fanart ever, with the exception of TRiPPY's cosplay XD
I wish that I had that kind of talent, I'm drolling :XD:

That is just wows. O_O Very, very amazing, and the hands actually look all floaty and oooh :drool: As your crit, I'd say make the jewel a little smaller and maybe get the purple more even. Other than that; perfectionnnnn :drool:

yea... i know that the jewel is a little big, i just got frusterated because it took me for friggin ever to cut just right, because every time I cut it, it got all mushed. and im not quite sure what you meant about the purple being uneven. any way thanks alot!
:iconsvenhoek:
thanks much! and yeah i know that im way out of my league when it comes to TRiPPy... oh well. Thanks again!
:iconaprilechidna:
I know what you mean, I get that way with drawings and do things the wrong size.

And I mean the colour; it has streaks of white in it. Minor, but I'm evil like that :D

I wouldn't go that far, I've never seen TRiPPY make such a detailed sculpture!
Yeesh, I wish that I could buy something like that, I'm getting pangs of "I Need One!"
::eyeballs her sculpey:: hmm. . .
