Figured I'm hardly qualified for the "First Sculpts" thread any more and, tbh, I kinda like that being for first sculpts so I figured I might as well make my own sketchbook vanity thread like they seem to do everywhere else that 3d modelling and forums collide.
I'll post my crap in here. You guys can look at it and chuckle and hopefully start your own thread so's I don't feel like I'm the only attention whore in the place!

Edit: Weird, the forum auto-censored the more correct mode of the word face in the above sentence (fac-ial anatomy)... I didn't know we had an auto-censor, must be new.

luckily for me I suck slightly less in Medium
I'm loving my newfound weapon, tho. For shaping muscles it's nice and clean compared to clay. Good for lines and a hint of striations, tho.
So I was like seven or something and this is what I was expecting to come in the post
Colour gif was a mess with the glowy bits so the lathe is greyscaled
Had a muck about with him in Cycles and actually managed to get somewhere for once. Very simple node setup and it's still the old remesh with the dodgy mouth but what a difference subsurf makes!

and jaw and face thinner..
Tonight I resymmetrised in Medium, which created a whole bunch of jaggy artifacts that seem to be a result of some of the math that's being crunched during the weld process. Didn't realise quite how bad it looked until I got it into blender. So I jumped into sculpt mode to give it a quick dust down with the smooth tool. QUICK?? Jesus, I don't remember this taking an eternity before. Two weeks using nothing but Medium and already I don't want to have to sculpt in flatscreen ever again.

Medium rework.
What you think of this.. I know its not as detailed as yours but I have to be honest the symmetry tool makes a fun way to create these things I think all thats missing from medium is the ability to add a light source to the emissive objects and maybe the ability to pick a background? like instead of just seeing a photo actually being able to use a large photo as a backdrop so we can create objects within the backgrounds. That way we could like take a picture of a field or of a forest and just add objects n things.. or even be able to change the skybox to a space one or time of day change?
I find most of the time I can turn out something in an hour or two that I feel happy with. I learn tons every time I do and, if it all goes to hell, I scrap it and move on to the next thing. The inspiration for this crab thing came by just jumping into the rift and scribbling in the air.
Yeah, lampposts. I can do one of those no problems
