Well damn it looks like you do this for a living! Great job to say the least!
- Nope. I am an investor and artist (2D painter). Not related. Or, the former pays for freedom in the latter. I've always drawn, went to a tech high school where I studied drafting and graphic art (before computers existed), wanted to pursue aeronautic engineering after high school but my math wasn't good enough at the time, then looked at architecture but similar issue when it came to calculus and architectural engineering. I didn't paint until college, ended up with a useless degree in "Art" and no career counseling. Been mostly self taught, really wished YouTube had existed back then. I made mediocre aircraft models as a kid but didn't really focus intently on sculpting or 3D stuff until about 5 years ago.So I gotta know... do you do this for a living?
- It's good that we all have different preferences, different ways of expressing ourselves! That way more different stuff gets created, and we end up getting to see more stuff we like.Very impressive! I like your work! My story is super boring.. I used to draw a lot but that is not satisfying to me. So I tried drawing stuff big which I liked better but it still is not enough... so now pretty much all I do is build fullsize stuff. It's the only thing that really scratches that itch.
Both you guys are kicking ass and taking names... setting the bar high for my upcoming paint job!- It's good that we all have different preferences, different ways of expressing ourselves! That way more different stuff gets created, and we end up getting to see more stuff we like.
Speaking of which, this guy does really excellent monster designs! I bought his book and it's as good as you'd expect! And guess what.....he ALSO painted this same Pumpkinhead figure! I just found out when he messaged me in IG. Been chatting, and his approach was similar to mine in terms of intentionally using more color than the OG Pumpkinhead. I think it's really neat that two different artists can arrive at two very different vibes using the same subject and materials.
- I hope so! Your sculpt is so cool, can't let up after the hardest part!Both you guys are kicking ass and taking names... setting the bar high for my upcoming paint job!
