Sculpture Mk2

[outofthefire]

Just finished another, think I prefer this one

 

[chunkolini]

Brilliant, like a pebbly beach.
I said beach.
Quite abstract, love it.
maybe a bit too much emphasis on certain anatomical points.
A cheeky question.
Outofthefire, how do you stop the models making a terrible fuss?
When I make these it is awful.

They squeal and make a terrible noise.
How does one deal with this.

Excellent!! are the washers used around the "anatomical" points flat? if so they could look more in keeping if they were domed to match the curves.

 

[strada]

love it : )
I prefer this to your first one,i like how you have done the base.
it must be a PITA filing all the slugs round lol

 

[pedrobedro]

Did you have a job as Madonna's bra welder ?

They're slugs as well I just punch a smaller hole through them. I like the reaction they provoke, at the end of the day we all have them

Cheers, I think I do as well.

Some more pics taken by one of the kids at work.

 

[chunkolini]

Nice selection of pictures.
Very dramatic.
There is a horror film to be made.

Couldn't agree more chunko,especially with the bloke in the last pic,lol
perhaps it could have dragons in it,if someone got their finger out : )
and while im at it ,what is it with welders and bald heads and beards, ???
im bald ( by choice ) and have a beard, like the bloke in the last pic but im much nicer looking, Lol

the dragon is doing my head in. I've been asked to try and make an osprey for someone and based on my experience with the dragon i've started with head first if I get that right the rest should follow a bit easier.

 

[chunkolini]

The beard is the idea generator.
Stuck for inspiration, grab a few strands and twiddle them and an idea will be generated.
The bald head is from too much scratching.

Been there done that ( the one in my avatar ) feathers were are a pita but worth it. I think its my best/favourite to date.
you MUST finish the dragon,don't let it beat you,lol

I won't, it just might take a while. I've been thinking of going with my original idea of making it a dragon fly getting the scale right will be easier.
The idea i've got for the osprey might mean I don't need to do feathers as such. I'm thinking of doing it stooping into the water feet first, i'm hoping to make the outer skin from metal banding straps leaving them in long strands behind the leading edge of the wings so they look like speed blur. When i've done a bit more i'll start another unfinished project thread for it

This sounds interesting , think ive seen something similar on some horse sculptures, to give the impression of speed and movement,cant wait .

 

[chunkolini]

All sounds good.
I always leave unfinished projects hanging where I can see them everyday.
This way they seem to design themselves by osmosis,

They might have seen Sayaka Ganz's sculptures, she uses all sorts of random plastic stuff

That seems to work for me too.

They have to be visible or they cease to exist.
I have had some sat around for a couple of years, then one day I snap and get stuck in.
I like those horses.
