Nifty! New podcast for me to listen to at work! ♥ And holy hell, that's a lot of sculpy! It's great stuff, but I'd never have thought of using it for something that big!
Totally! As a teenager I wanted to be an actress (ha) or a professional makeup artist - I still do fancy makeup for all my friends for Halloween and conventions and so on, and it's a blast, but I never learned to do the fancy stuff with molds and latex, so I'm stuck at 2D construction and wax (though you'd be amazed what you can do with that, with a little determination!). It still kind of tweaks me that I gave up all that, particularly since I have friends who act or do makeup professionallly, but... as you said, at some point reality starts making compelling arguments in favor of steady jobs, medical insurance, and so on, and I'm not quite confident, brave or talented enough to hold out against them. I settle for wishing I had more frequent excuses to play at all that stuff for fun.
