This is just amazing! (:

this is fantastic

!

Your sculptures always blow me away ^_^

thanks!!
i put a lot of time into this one. nice to know it paid off :)

Absolutely, man. Hehe, I understand enough about how drawing and painting work to be able to reverse engineer a lot of folks' process in 2D art and really appreciate the craft and time that went into something, but 3D work like this is still pretty much just magic to me.

I'm totally ignorant of how you did most of what you did here, but it certainly looks amazing ^_^

Good god, that's frickin unbelievable! Man, you've got THE touch.

I think it's safe to say you've got quite a touch of your own >_>
Hehe. Thanks homie.

beautiful

My word, we have some serious skills at work here.

This is awesome. How did you do it?

years of practice, proper tools & a shit-ton of detailing.

Beautiful work, it's hauntingly alive in a dead manner, if that makes sense.
The golem, just prior to having life breathed into him.

that's actually quite literal.
took this picture just before i carved the hebrew into it's forehead.

Brilliant!
It is now a proper golem then.

Amazing detail. I can see why this would keep you occupied for so long. There are a lot of contrasting elements here that make it work really well. It's human, but just not human, too. Smooth except for the cracking at the center. Monsterous in a way yet it could just be sleeping. Its potential won't be realized until the eyes open and that's a real moment of tension. Really really cool.

hah! wow. thanks!! ^^
you describe it better than i ever could.

I love it! Do you have a site with more sculpture? Great style.

That's a beautiful skin texture. I can never not leave tool marks, no matter how much time I spend carving away and smoothing.

thank you!
yeah, if you're using some kind of oil base clay (chavant, etc.) tool marks can be tricky.
i mostly use wed clay. just gotta keep it wet. it's perfect for doing extremely tight detail & smoothing is quite easy, so long as you have a looped rake-tool & a stipple sponge.

That's amazing!

Medium? Is it clay?

indeed, it is clay (:

Thank you so much!!

did you cast a head first and then modify it? the ears and skin texture around the eyes are very lifelike. very beautiful piece.

Thanks!
no, i built this up from a generalized lump. it's all my design.

very impressive :)

This is, plainly put, amazing.

You are the master, man!

THA MASTER!

Mass flattery :0!! you are too kind, sir.
i'm no master. i just like making pretty things <3

Hexagonal appeal~

You shine. Every time you post you shine still brighter. Amazing bugger you are.

You are too kind, sir.
I'm just happy knowing folks here enjoy my work ^^

It's a good feeling, isn't it? BUT the world at large will love you, too, and they should see you, because you're freaking amazing.
