Description I got the first two rooster casts colored this weekend.
The clients haven't seen them yet but I have a feeling they'll be happy when they do.
I had a blast seeing it all come together.
I was really happy with how the color separated all his parts and brought him to life.
I'm going to be doing a regular red and white version as well, but not until I get my other pile of work done.
I'll post other shots of him soon when I have time.
Hope you all like him!
Ps. I had all sorts of reference photos to use for color and was torn between using gray or yellow on the feet but decided on gray to keep it a little more muted and richer....
here's a good reference shot to check out....

I've seen a hundred bronze roosters in my time at ACC...none of em embody this much character. Everyone's seen a real rooster... If you didn't know what a rooster was and what it's job was, you could look at this one and instantly have an idea.

RandyHand In reply to Jeffherndraw [2011-11-06 22:49:12 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much Jeff...That's such a compliment because I know what it was like to be there at ACC.

I'd see so many children, elk, deer, ducks etc. etc. etc. but nothing that really stood out.
When I met Jerome I remember him saying how he hadn't cast anything in bronze because he didn't feel he had done anything worthy of being cast. That blew me away because of how incredibly talented he is, but it also made me re-think the way I sculpt.
He introduced me to Mark Newman while we were out there a few years back and those two have been a great inspiration for what I do.
Thanks again for such a great compliment!
take care

Jeffherndraw In reply to RandyHand [2011-11-08 06:50:56 +0000 UTC]

I remember hearing Jerome say that too. Crazy huh? I just checked out Mark Newman's stuff. Beautiful work! I love finding out about new artists...new to me anyway. I also noticed that you submit to Spectrum. I've submitted for the past three years in a row with no luck. I'm going to submit again this year...but in May I'm attending Spectrum Live in Kansas city. Almost everyone on the guest list is some kind of hero to me so I'm looking forward to meeting them and seeing what I can do to push myself to the next level. Sorry,that Spectrum bit was really off topic...it just popped into my head mid comment

RandyHand In reply to Jeffherndraw [2011-11-08 14:44:48 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, isn't Mark Newman a freak of nature?
We have his little Demon Dude...
[link]
and his wife is incredibly talented as well...
She painted a portrait of our pug and chihuahua that is amazing... [link]
We often stay with them when we are out there in California or Jerome and Adie...you would really like both couples....lot's of fun to be with.
Yeah, that Spectrum is quite the book...
I was lucky enough to get my Metamorph-fish in one year and then the Little Nosferatu another.
You never know what the judges are going to like from year to year.
Your work would be a shoe in, I would think.
I'll be interested to hear how Spectrum Live goes...
There's gonna be some amazing talent there I bet

The demon dude and the pug painting are both AWESOME! I don't know how artist couples don't kill each other They definitely look like a fun and talented bunch.

I'd be honored...
They aren't cheap because of the size...
$650 + shipping for the multi-colored version pictured here and
$500 + shipping for a red and white version.

I am indeed making a living from this...

before this I worked at the foundry that casts my bronzes.
Thanks again!
