Description
I made a little animation showing the recently finished soapstone figure of Princess Celestia from all sides. I just noticed this is my 100th upload to derpibooru :)
Just how mistaken would that assumption of these people in the futur be? :D
:D Aye, indeed the tail can be mistaken. It would be clearer if it was done a lot thiner with a gap between the hindlegs and the tail, but in that case the risk of breaking the stone would be a lot higher.
Soapstone is a very soft rock (it can be scratched with a fingernail) and really a very pleasant material to work with. I can only recommend everyone getting the chance to give it a try. It can be carved with rasps, files and knives and can be smoothed (it can get smooth as soap, hence the name) with sandpaper.
It is an outdoors only kind of art though since it produces lots and lots of dust.
I have no idea what soapstone is and how to handle it but I believe it’s not an easy task.
