I managed to do a bit more to increase some of the contrast (it still needs more), and I added a quick white wash on the eyes so they don't reflect as much of the surrounding colour.
Casey, by any chance, could you post a few photos of your red/ white spider web pattern that you did at the end of last weeks lesson. I am so amazed how many little steps there are to get that giraffe pattern. Kudos. I want to attempt the same strategy when I attack your Moorwen bust! I know you are busy.... Perhaps you can post photos even after the third lesson. BTW your course is so awesome! I am learning so much even if it doesn't necessarily show in homework...
It's been a real pleasure meeting everyone and seeing everyone's amazing work. Will miss class, learned a ton.
Just wanted to share a few images of some things I've sculpted before we part ways. I rarely take pics of my stuff, especially lately, so these are earlier efforts. The superhero stuff were comissioned works, good learning experiences, and made a little dough, but not my favorite subject matter. Love original Monsters, Aliens, Creatures!!! Now that's the good stuff.
Notice nothing's painted? that will be changing from now on, Thanks Casey, and class!
Almost forgot, one thing I did recently that I did actually take some pics of, my entry in SWSCA Jurrasic Park Contest, DInoSapien, a dino human hybrid idea, his face has been my icon for this class, rushed him a bit because the contest only gave a week or two, which for me means a weekend or two, have revisited him since and punched up the textures
So many great artist..you all make me sick.lol. I am truly motivated to jump into this sculpting and yes even airbrush thing.
Marc I would love some info on the armature builds you use.
here is some of my work. The sculpt on the right I flew in to LA to take a week course with someone. I need to make some changes to it still. Heard when you have a full time job, full time dad, and squeezing in some classes.
I took a 2-3 classes in my early 20's. I had a family around the same time. I could afford my 2 loves. So I pick my family. I picked it up again going on 2 yrs. Im 42 now. lol. I did the marquette in Don Lanning class that I attended in Dec of 2012. It cost me a pretty penny since I live in FL and the class was in LA.
Richard I think pitch black eyes would work really well for your character. Awesome character needless to say, great job on it but it's just an idea to try out.
