Xng, everything is counted as art these days. Go and put a pen on the floor, take a pic of it and - voilà! masterpiece. Or draw a white line on a white paper and tell there's the deepest bearing of excistence - or why bother to draw a line at all. It's a work as such.

Qute photos. I liked the 4th and 5th and 6th pics.

What do I do at 3am? I draw werewolves and dancers at 3am!

Crom Crauch · 04-28-2006, 04:00 PM

I generally go to bed at 3 am... since I don't have an artistic bone in my body...

TwistedKitsune · 04-28-2006, 04:05 PM

I'm an artistic insomniac...no sleep for me!

Hi. Just thought I'd post a pic of one of my sculptures. This little creature is called Foggy. I'm going to paint the eyes copper-red instead of the blue that they are - I think it'll give the piece a darker edge.

Keep creating!

Sanctus Dei · 04-29-2006, 01:05 PM

I want one!!!

TwistedKitsune · 04-29-2006, 03:13 PM

Cute! I want one too!!

WizardElement5 · 04-29-2006, 04:34 PM

Hi Sanctus, hi Twisted. Glad you like him. I'm afraid my sculptures are way too much work to be give aways, but if you want to try doing something like it yourselves, I use cement over an iron wire frame and metallic spray(car)-paints to finish.

Wise Child · 04-29-2006, 04:49 PM

*Matt Lucas voice* But I want THAT one! *points*

Corpus_Draconis · 04-29-2006, 05:23 PM

Hehehehe that sculpture is cute, WizardElement... I think it would look really cool with copper eyes. I wish I could do sculpture properly... :P Eh, I'll practise at some point... I just need to aquire some materials to practise with... *looks around*

WizardElement5 · 04-29-2006, 05:59 PM

Hi Wise Child, great to see you on the Art Thread. Have you posted any work here? If so, what page? See you.

Hi Corpus. I had a look back and saw your candle - very good, great design and well drawn.

corporalaccident · 04-29-2006, 06:04 PM

XNG!! Gorgeous photos! And, Wizard, I love your sculpture!

WizardElement5 · 04-29-2006, 06:38 PM

Thanks Castle.

Sanctus Dei · 04-30-2006, 02:58 AM

Wizard's inspired me to post a few sculptures as well there not great but eh, why not...

This one is the most recent (and is currently in peices due to a violent move) it's Eiko a Squaresoft Character...:

Then.. Jackie Estacato of "The Darkness" (a mob/dark comic) with a few of the Darklings (also in shambles):

and last... Putgatory of Chaos Comics, the oldest of the three, my third ever sculpture attempt:

That's it. I can't wait to get situated again in my new place so I have a chance to do some more and see how I may have progressed since I last sculpted it's been almost two years I think.

end.of.eternity · 04-30-2006, 04:50 AM

TwistedKitsune: I like really your way of sketching! And I'm the same as you. I always get an inspiration when I should be sleeping.

Wizard: great work. It'd look better if you didn't paint the eyes red 'cause red doesn't fit with cold colours, I think. Blue fits with blue, but red and blue, I don't know. but then again it's just me.

Nice job Sanctus.

I think I agree with this.

Nike · 04-30-2006, 05:53 AM

I don't know. I think red and blue can go together very well.
Warm-cold contrasts can be very effective.

Here are some examples:
this is by sparth, the piece is a concept for Prince of Persia:

or here....by Matt Dixon
http://www.mattdixon.co.uk/g33.htm

server is so slow today, can't browse more examples....I had a wonderful self portrait in mind with a blue-red contrast, but I can't find it anymore

oh, and wizard-red eyes or not - awsome sculpture!

succubus,queenofvampires · 04-30-2006, 05:59 AM

Wow, I love your photoshopped pics,Xng! I love your sculptures,Wizard and Sanctus!

succubus,queenofvampires · 04-30-2006, 06:04 AM

Also Xng, I like your "I like the way it feels" poem.

Draconysius · 04-30-2006, 06:39 AM

Sanctus, you have a real talent for sculpture! You're telling me that the last image was your third attempt at sculpting? I really need to practice.

TwistedKitsune · 04-30-2006, 11:51 AM

end.of.eternity, thanks for the compliment

Sanctus, holy HELL girl! You freakin' rock that sculpture stuff. And I thought my penguin was pretty cool. Silly me, I should have known Sanctus would blow my socks off again.

WizardElement5 · 04-30-2006, 12:11 PM

Hi end.of.eternity, hi Wise Child. You both might be right about the eyes, though Foggy's body colour has a bit more red in it, (ie is more purple), than that photo shows, so I hope a coppery-red might blend ok. But if it doesn't, or I just get bored with it, then I'm going to try silver.

Hi Sanctus. Your figures look fun - and lots of detailed work. Did you take inspiration from the comic characters, or were they based on your sculptures?

Hi Nike, thanks. Great pictures posted. I'm such a BIG fan of fantasy art, I can never get enough. My all time hero is the living God, (oh yes he is), Luis Royo, who's yours? I agree with you about the juxtaposition of reds and blues, that can often be very successful. I'm posting a couple more of my own pics with fairly radical colour contrasts that I believe work well. I hope you all like them.

Hi succubus, thanks.

Hi Xng. Of your photos, I like the one of you upside down in the chair best. The composition and colouring are both great and I love the way your hair falls. If you did one like that dressed in black on an inverted black cross that would be both very cool and very goth. Perhaps with a love poem written in red, (fake blood), nailed to the cross up above your feet. Hey, just an idea!

Nah, unfortunately I can't draw for shit. I thought I was okay, until I saw some of the artwork on this thread. Now, I think my unskilled scribblings would bore compared to the stuff I've seen here. I'd probably still subject people to it, but unfortunately I don't have a scanner or digital camera - and photobucket leaves me all befuddled... I couldn't even manage to post a picture the other day. *wanders off, bumping into things*

... Oh, and I think the silver eyes would look wicked, much better than the red. Although the red would probably look good too, if he's more purpley IRL. Not trying to be bossy - it's your work - just giving my opinion, in case anyone's interested.

WizardElement5 · 04-30-2006, 03:06 PM

Hey Wise Child, don't worry about how well you draw, what you have to say is always more important than the technial ability with which you say it. All artists would love to have the skill of Rembrandt, but nobody else ever has. But that doesn't make everyone else's work any less valid.

For photobucket make a jpeg copy of the picture, (not too big), and then browse it from your photobucket album. When it's uploaded, right click on it and select copy shortcut. Back on gnet in your post reply, right click and select paste.

Always interested

Sanctus Dei · 05-01-2006, 05:49 AM

Wizard, I truely enjoy your creativity and individualistic abilities. Your work is amazing. In answer to your question, all of the sculpture I attempt is based on the characters of others, I had a brief aspiration to become an action figure sculptor (still would like to) but wth my time constraints it's difficult to hone any skill.. I think I've only done 5 sculpts total.

Thanks everyone else for the nods!
