Getting close now, concept sketch

Getting close now, concept sketch

By on September 4, 2022 in Build, Sketch with 0 Comments

I’m not planning on adding any figurative reference. the cloud and flow forms imply some type reference to the real and takes this work away from complete abstraction. I’m not certain I want the forms to point downwards, but this is still a WIP. I will probably apply tape and liquid friskit over some of […]

Getting Close, Asking Questions, what now?

I occasionally go back and read my own blog as it is easy to forget day-to-day, why you are doing a particular thing. The current effort is to LEARN how to work this new material of plastics. So I have been cutting up pre-existing shapes using plastic models, the reshaping, gluing and then painting. The […]

Model Scratch Building – Lebeus Woods

By on November 25, 2020 in Build with 0 Comments

After a long hiatus from sculpting in the studio I have returned to 3d with small steps. Earlier this year I focused on a series of pen and ink drawings based upon Inktober setups. This worked really well for about four months, but then, as always, I became bored. I think I also became depressed […]

Pretty much completed the manikin this weekend. That makes approximately one month to completion. That’s typical. I did start the torso of the street fighter and the torso of the cheerleader during this time as well. Next I’ll focus much more heavily on the street fight and sketch out the cheerleader. Expected completion dates are: […]

After much effort to clean the studio and finalize works from last year I’ve decided to go ahead and begin the “Conceal and Carry” series. Been rolling some reclaimed clay and making cylinders, now it’s time to get on it. Started with a sketch for scale and proportion referencing. Used a measuring tool to map […]

This part of Vulcans Mountain has been bothering me as to how to paint it. I put an underglaze coat of Electric Blue on then fired, but as I looked at it decided to go with a sandy color. Probably wasted some effort on the blue underglaze, but I am using water to spray down […]

Water

The build on Water is completed and now ready to be painted. Did a fire over the weekend and the pedestal which broke into pieces when in bone dry, survived. I used magic mud and pieced it all back together and then prayed. Everything seems to have worked out.

The “Earth” build is finalized. I started working on this one last fall and it’s finally coming together. It took about 1 month per elements. The cows were a real challenge because of my lack of experience with the subject, but looking close at them they do look like cows. Just need to paint the […]

Almost forgot to vent these, I left them uncovered last night to dry, but thankfully this morning they were still wet enough to poke. Not certain about the finish here, and if the pedestand should be one piece. I guess it should be so I best cover again when I get home. Stopping by Granny’s […]
