Almost there....

I've been procrastinating for a while. I had the urge to completely redo my website since Max told me how to use the lightbox application. But now that it's all done, I'm back to sculpting. As you can see here, I've finished sculpting all the tree elements. The base is also constructed and covered with clay (it's not shown here). Tomorrow, I'm going to start sculpting the people. Honestly, it's the thing I've been holding off the most. I hope it all works out well.

Sculptwerks box

I made a little box for a wedding present. The present goes in the box, it's not the box itself... that would be terrible. I found some awesome potato sack-like material to line the inside, and wal mart has tan shredded paper that looks like packing straw. And I finally found a perfect use for the sculptwerks logo stamp I made in college. I can't tell you what goes inside because the wedding hasn't happened yet. It's an awesome present though.

Hill 2 done!

Hill 2 is done. I'm taking a small break for a few days and I'll start the last part of this illustration on wednesday. In the meantime, I'm updating the layout of my website a little bit.

The Start of hill 2

I started 'hill 2' three days ago, and I'm very happy with how far I've come. I just need to sculpt one more tree and the jogger. And then it's just paint and GO!

1/3 Finished!

On Tuesday, it will have been a month since I started working on this (I'm counting the start from when I had a finished tight sketch with the composition worked out). I'm thinking this illustration will take three months to complete. I've got two more large sculpted sections left to sculpt. Luckily, I have all the time in the world. My prospects look non existent right now, and until the recession ends, I'm just biding my time, doing stuff like this for my portfolio and washing dogs at PetSmart.

So far, so good...

Mountain is baked and painted. The assembly of the buildings is almost complete. Next step is installing the monorail.

The sculpting begins!

The mountain that the sculptwerks headquarters rests on will be the largest sculpt I've ever done. I've spent all morning sculpting hundreds of tiny trees in what will become the forest covering the mountain. It's slow, tedious work, but it's fun!

Though it dosn't look it, the first image is all the architectural elements that will adorn the top of the mountain.
