pipe cleaner vaporeon

I love Pokemon and especially love Vaporeon. He's a mermaid and he's a hero.
Sculpture has always seemed like this extremely difficult platform to dive onto as a consumer and as a practitioner. I see either the incredibly stunning rendering of the human form in Michaelangelo's Pieta, or I see the cacophony of trash-garbage of Rauschenburg's Monogram. Both are too lofty for me.
Crafting however, is a little more accessible. 3D modeling is so intuitive to me because there's no secrets, no hidden elements. When I draw something, half of the subject is hidden from the viewer and myself, but I have to consider it. We all know that a drawing of the back of someone's head has a face attached to it, even if there's no visual indication of the face itself. This isn't true of sculpture, as for the most part everyone experiencing it has access to all the sides and perspectives.
