Thanks Jason,
Like painting, it all depends on the level of detail, type of clay I am working in, and whether it is a commission or not. I can complete the modeling of a ceramic bust from a live model that is not a commission in about 20 hours. Average time for a commissioned bust is about 150 hours. Sometimes there is the exception when you have a very particular customer. I have a bust in progress now that I started 6 months ago and thought it was done a couple of times, but the customer keeps sending more and more changes, even after he has approved it twice already for final skin detailing (which takes about a week on an FX bust). Very frustrating and so far have over 1000 hours into that one. Lost track. I suppose the down side of doing commission work is that it seems to mean you will work unlimited hours on a piece until the customer is satisfied.
