I have to a agree with Vert on his points, and implore you to do more of these! ;-) The character of this piece just screams out insanity and I could see why your proud of your work It looks like your using a looped copper wire as a base? Something tells me that was the final touch! "I'm a battery!!"

I'm not good with paint, but yes, I guess I'm also guilty of getting lazy towards the end. (njeehhh)
For the base I've build an armature with wires and wrapped it in tin foil for volume. I've documented the whole process here :)

Here's a pic of the armatur, without the tin foil.

lol... but looking at the great result you got it seems to have been worth the effort :)

It's pretty neat, actually. Was it part of the assignment to work with cans, or was the idea to work with tin or garbage as material in general?

It's rather hard to get a really smooth surface, but then again I might not have found the best way to do this yet.

Yeah, that's one thing that bothers me about the proportions. But it's already cured and painted, so unfortunately it's too late to fix anything. However it's never too late to learn ;)

Thanks to both of you!

Can't wait to see your finished MindChamber, MindChamber. I love how you involve non-clay parts, very inspiring.

*giggle*

I love how the clown wears a tiny horn around his neck :D

I recently got tired of digital art, so I decided to get myself some wires, tin-foil, acryl colors and Super Sculpey. As first try I decided to make one of the bunnies of my game MindScape. I was afraid of it ending up as a piece of... clay... but I'm actually happy with how it turned out. The proportions may not be 100% true to the original and the paintjob may not be perfect, but I'm still proud of my little baby.
Hopefully I'll find the time to start on another figurine soon.

Anyways, here it is, rendered using my bare hands, sculpting sticks and Super Sculpey, textured using acryl paint. Tell me what you think or post your own work if you've tried traditional sculpting / modelling yourself :)

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned before, but just to remind everyone that it actually wouldn't be so unlikely:

It's not Flash, but it's a short, simple yet brilliant animation created by a single person (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm too lazy to fully check the credits right now if Don Hertzfeld animated all by himself). Yet it got nominated for an Oscar.
And I'm sure there's gotta be some Oscar winning potential around here somewhere! :)

Aw well, there goes The Snap into the oblivion of the Portal. Either way, congrats to everyone who made it into todays top 5! :)

So you like Kol Belovs animations, yes?

Nice work.

badabing

isn't it intended for fish only?

There are many cocktails I like, but I always return to the good old Tequila Sunrise :)

Haha... the Light one gave me a chuckle! :D

Googlezon will happen.

Also, I thought they've been over this already? This matter has been discussed since about February.

Metallica already rocked the world when 50 cent still cut school. Nuff said.

Also, Metal has about as much to do with Emo as Emo has to do with good poetry.

Aw snap. So close to this week's top 10! Maybe some other time :)

Looks good so far! I agree on the edge smoothing though. Also consider using the line tool for the star, it looks a little awkward.

That's some pretty neat art you got there. I especially love the dollesque face of hers.

Wow, that's one pretty neat creature. I'd love to see a colored version from that.

He got... like... bitten by a radioactive broccoli... and mutated and stuff.
And now he's like... working as a freelance police officer.

o... kay?

Unicorns, anyone?
