Thank you. You can see alot of arts craft movement inspiration in it. I was thinking of Rene Lalique's dragonfly woman pin.

It's brilliant... I love the intricate detail in all of your pieces. So beautiful!
I will try to look up Rene's work ... I'm afraid I'm not familiar.
Keep up the amazing work
Cheers and can't wait to see more

Hmm..I made it before either of those came out 03 I think. Now if I could only get a royalty check frm them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I ahvent seen hellboy II yet but, visualy it looks neat. Pan lab I have I even made a faun sculpt from the movie.
This was meant to be a gate in a story I made up. I just built the female first and gave her wings then made an artnoveau gate shape..edited it till it looked good to me.
I think the more you use your imagination the stronger it gets then next thing you know you cant shut it off! I have a bunch of crazy worlds and characters in my head.

wow, that amazing. and Hell2 is great, hes still the charmer
and you made a sculpt from Pans, ive alaways wasnted to sculpt, i bet its pretty....ill look for it.
i try to use my imagination but i let what other people think get in my way and i really shouldn't. like there opinion matters most or something, but i think youve inspired me to try a new idea. idk what it is yet but youl be the first to know!

Im waiting for it to come out on dvd
Nope you have to get used to not giving a rats ass about others opinions..people are too diffenrt in their taste and they dont always know what you are trying to do with your vision.
Cool. Id love to see

:0, oh good id love to see it...you should of seen me trying to find it in you gallery, i really was interested! i know i reallt should care but i have no self-esteem and i usually tend to believe other people. but now thats all gonna change. and when my new idea comes trust in saying you be the first to now, ill dedicate it to you

I posted it for you
Thats great! I have bad self asteem too,but I keep going casue I like making things and I like making my own weird stuff. No one is forced to look at it or buy it. so there

Were kinda programed since childhood to listen to what we're told and to obey authority figures.. even though in some cases they dont know anymore than we do. No wonder it gets so hard to listen to what we want and think is best!
As for self asteem a million and one things attack that everyday!

i like talking to you, its like you understand were im coming from, i usually loose people
but your right half the time they dont know and when they try to "wing it" it makes it worse.

Artists tend to go through alot of the same doubt stuff and mental patterns. Its like were a diffenrt species of human.
I know people thought my work was childish crap and Id show it and get the sounds of crickets chirping. Once I started selling it I was realy scared and didnt think anybody would buy. I listed my first figure online for $75 and I thought who's going to pay that much? But it went up to 200 and I was sooo happy!

This is one of my favorites of yours. Very strong, graphic lines, and beautiful ornamentation for the object. Wonderful!

Id like to make more art nouveau objects..buildings even and jewelry. Its alot easier in 3d software though. have you ever played the pc game Siberia? It's got wonderous designs!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd really love to see you try your hand at some jewellery. I love the art nouveau styling. I haven't played Siberia, but I will go google it now for images and see what comes up. Thanks for the heads up!

Id like to... Im sure my jewelry would be similar to my sculptural work... maybe some day with a lost wax method since that is the most sculptural like. Polymer clay can be used for beads and such but, its far too delicate for tiny unsuported vines like in art nouveau. I dont know the first thing about how to start such a venture and probably its expensive.
I did design a gold oroboros torque in 3dcg. Ive always wanted to see it as a real peice of jewelry.

Ok just read your vision in a comment of yours right above.. enough to get me going anyway

This is a dream segment in which Jared.my other 3d model comes to this gate and its locked.

Thank you. You can see maybe why from the first time I saw your work I fealt like we must have kindred visions. I fealt jealous a tiny bit of what you could express so clearly!!

let me guess.... 3ds max? i recognise the texture in the background i think
very nice design. make sure to use smoothing groups to dictate ridges and joins to avoide too much of the "melty plastic" look.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup its max3.1 about 6 years ago now. I dont recall anymore what textures I used ,but it probably came with the program. Smoothing groups...thinking meshsmooth? Eh rusty... not sure anymore of the tool names. Thank you though

meh, with the fact of how good you are at actual sculpture, who need 3ds max. lol

There are perks to working in cg. First you can animate a scene with wind blowing, eyes blinking.. bringing life to an imaginary world, then also scale isnt an issue you can blow it up huge to do the tiniest detail then shrink it down for an amazing level of realism.
It appealed to me to have no limits..But I did miss having my hands on an actaul medium....plus I never could have gotten an industry job. This way with sculpting I can make a living.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya, actually working in CG is quite tough.
looking at what you do, you should have a play with zbrush and a wacom tablet. it is far more sculpty than max. i am sure you know this already, but just throwin it out there just in case.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah Ive see z brush around for a while ,but just never tried it. It looks like it could be more intuitive like sculpting. I didnt know you could use a wacom to sculpt with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya, a wacom is really what it is designes for. the interface is a bit wierd in comparison to most other 3d apps. this is because it is optimised to be used with wacom. the pressure sensitivity is vital to getting smooth sculpts going. it is the closest you can get to sculpture on a pc i think. with the advantage of an undo.

Thats sounds really neat. I did some drawing with a mouse,but that gets old fast!

Im glad you like. I should sculpt this thing.

OMG yes!! Its amazing!!

Maybe a mini with some garden setting or at least grass.. it would make a nice diarama for some figure to stand in. its easy to make clay look like metal too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay sounds like a great idea my friend
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I found a site that sells landscape for model trains.really neat. fake grass and rocks. Ill have to let that percolate for a while to decide wat kind of figure or story could go with it.

Cant wait to see what you create my friend

All for the resurgence of the Art Nouveau style, and that would be spectacular in bronze.

Im all for it too! Too bad artists dont rule the world.
