But he did not try to create something in the earnest.
‘A large sculpture. There’s no space to make such a thing.’
To create one of ten meters or more meant having to stick close to the sculpture and working on it for weeks.
Procuring the material was also a problem.
So besides having to create a huge sculpture, he would need to find something fitting the size along with the difficulty of it being a worthy material.
Then again, Todeum was a place filled many perfected compositions and a considerable number of sculptures.
They have not discovered Classic or Magnum pieces as of yet, but there are decent sculptures and pictures to gain proficiency through viewing so he did not feel the need to make a piece.
Weed explained it simply.
“The inspiration to create a piece has not hit me as of yet. And in Todeum vampires’ castles, there are a lot of paintings and sculptures yet to be discover.”
“Ah, so that’s it.”
Quickly convinced, Maylon pulled away from going deeper. Hwaryeong seemingly brooded over something, asked.
“Does it need to be some specific tree or stone for you to sculpt something?”
“Huh?”
“That is, I figured if it’s something you’d want to express, such things wouldn’t matter much anyway.”
In the vampire’s castles, the majority of the sculptures founded were carved into the walls or ceilings.
Though some are simply too plain and nothing like the grandly crafted statues to attract much attention.
Hwaryeong wondered.
“Why does it need to be something physical to make the statues?”
Weed recalled the light tower he made in Morata.
Rather than the beauty of the Light Tower itself, the harmony of lights refracted shown an even greater beauty.
He even obtained ‘The sculptor that governs light’ as a nickname!
Due to it being so amazingly creative and expressive!
For a Sculptor, there’s no better praise than that.
In reality, Weed was unaware he was dubbed as such since it surfaced from the forums.
If it was something outside money unlike something as the fox he sculpted and sold for 3 Silvers; rumors and such things was nothing for him to be concerned about.
Hwaryeong was overestimating Weed.
The Light Tower was not something he was susceptible to create at any point in time.
“You made the Light Tower from light, why not do the same with a statue?”
Weed considered seriously.
‘It’s true that I’ve been neglecting sculpture.’
Todeum itself was a very good hunting ground. Because of so, he excessively obsessed with hunting and sculpting remained on the sideline forgotten.
‘Light based sculpture.’
There was some sort of potential seen in sculpting the moonlight. Although it was a bit awkward for him to find his footing, the Moonlight Sculptor has yet to disappoint.
Weed pondered about what to create because he still did not have an idea after all had said.
“Hmmmm.”
“What kind of sculpture will be good?”
“What was made and still have words going around?”
“It has to fit into the limited ability of light being able to take shape.”
Everybody pondered.
Having fought in the castles, they would ponder over this in the middle of break time and still had trouble coming up with something.
‘So this is the pain of creativity.’
‘Art takes more time anguishing over what to make than actually making it huh.’
Even a vague concept as to how to create the sculpture had not been suggested.
After all the contemplations, Sureuka spoke.
“Well, how about this? Conversely of light, how about demonstrating the shadow’s?”
Showing an expression of not being able to get what Sureuka was talking about, Romuna looked at her.
“Shadow what?”
“The shadows of things. Using the shadow as a piece of created artwork.”
“What do you mean by making an artwork through shadows?”
“If there an object, then there’s a shadow. We can create some form by means of shadows like shadow puppeteer, y’know.”
“I think that’s not a bad idea, but is it feasible to create something through shadows and is it worth doing so?”
Romuna was dubious. To use an object and expresses it through its shadow didn’t appear to be tasteful.
But Weed regarded as a very good idea.
The usual Sculptor with common sense wouldn’t have easily attempted this idea, but he saw the advantage that could be found from this.
‘Instead of light, express it with shadows huh. Though this mean, I can make it as big as I can try.’
Composition!
Weed’s desired formation!
There was no need to get the materials also.
There are tons of materials that create shadows!
Weed made the decision in matter of seconds.
“The loot. Ima use the loots to create the sculpture.”
This expensive piece’s materials will come from the items obtained through the hunt so this was an ambitious plan of creating a sculpture!
“Good.”
“Wherever you see.”
Believed in Weed’s ability, Geomchi and the instructors readily pulled out their mats.
Everybody’s loots gathered in one place.
The gathered mats obtained from the land of vampires were a tremendous amount settled all in one place!
Given the fact that the loots were simple ingredient materials, the price of all these gathered here could amount to hundreds of thousands of Gold.
“I think this amount should be sufficient.”
Weed went to a hill located near Todeum to create a tower of loot that was about five meters high.
Ttiring!
The Tower of Miscellaneous Items was completed.
Its status does not live up what was attempted and the piece will remain unknown.
Although built with great dexterity, nobody will be able to consider and will have the difficulty understanding the eccentricity of the Sculptor’s intention.
Artistic Value: 15.
The ‘Excellent Sculptor’ Weed’s work.
Special Option(s):
Those that seen The Tower of Miscellaneous Items will have their Luck increase by 20 throughout the day.
It didn’t even match normal works.
