Sculpture is a 3 dimensional art form primarily based on solid form. Normally the process of sculpture involves carving away at a large, solid substance like stone, or wood, or molding a malleable substance to form an image of some sort. The sizes can range from massive statues, to small forms that easily fit in one's hand.

For purposes of tagging, this includes molding with clay, carving stone, wood, welding (as in, welding objects to make art, not welding metal together to make a machine).

If there is an artist in the image, be sure to tag artist, as well as creating_art if applicable.

• For actual sculptures in real photography, use sculpture_(artwork).

General guidelines

• Non-living sculptures do not count towards the character count, but animate inanimate examples do.
• For both living, and non-living examples a species sculpture tag should be used. For instance, if it is a statue featuring a fox, tag fox sculpture. The fox tag would only be reserved for animate inanimate examples.
• Regardless of living status, copyrighted species (think Pokémon) always get their fictional species tag, as well as a sculpture tag.
• Only non-living sculptures in the shape of creatures (no matter how primitive) shall get the inanimate_object tag.
