ivanjs In reply to reiq [2005-04-03 17:02:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. It was hard for me not to go crazy on the colors (i tend to like intense color), because I wanted it to have that "old" worn and weathered look. So I concentrated on the textures instead, and I appreciate your noticing them.

ivanjs In reply to 2shae [2005-03-31 16:05:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Glad you found it interesting.

All the pieces in the series are original concepts, but with Meso-American influence. I've been a fan of Mayan (Aztec and Olmec as well) art and architecture most of my life. Loved incorporating that interest with my love of technology!

This is simply beautiful... I think my favorite part about this piece is that it appears to have a soft texture to it. wow... okay now I'm jealous :-P

I like the inspiration of the piece and how it shows through. Lovely blend of colours. I especially like the rusty feeling of this

Thank you! I tried to keep the color palette subdued compared to my vivid abstract paintings, owing to the simulated age of the subject matter. Thanks for your comments!

Wow, such a great and proud tradition in art and architecture.

Most of my artist friends are very respectful and almost obsessed with the art from your part of the world. Thanks for the comment!

this one has a funny edge to it that reminds me of a similar statue in a weird al yankovitz movie named "UHF" .. silly little movie from the 80s that makes fun of movies and tv shows

Hey, I remember that movie! It has what I consider the funniest single word joke in the history of entertainment-

"Supplies!"

Works on Sooooo many levels.

Thanks, lestrendin. I like the color one as well. Tried to keep the intensity down, since it was supposed to combine ancient and future bits.

Yes, color pencil. I should have mentioned that in the description!
And yes, it took a VERY long time.
