new stuff part3

this is my first attempt to 3D sculping. I had never touched this kind of stuff before, not even in "real" sculpture. it was really fun to do it, it's like a speed modelling.
I have used sculptris, it a really fun software, and reaaaaaally easy to use.
about 5 hours for this head. can't wait to use it again =)

and some better version for two of my characters.
yes the face of the girl is based on the face of an actress but can't remember her name.



hope you like.

Sentry tribute

finally...DONE :)

was so fun to do, even if times square was pretty hard to draw.

people, streets and time square are fully handmade (with ref of course)

For the city rendering, I was inspired by Alberto Mielgo who has an incredible methode to render city, landscape and etc.

And he we go.

this is my latest painting. maybe the longest painting ever for me...48 hours of works in several days/weeks.
L490 his a song written by Shannon leto, from the album "THIS IS WAR". it's a song about comprehension, understanding and a lot of zen things.
go listen to it if you don't know yet.

the shannon's face was a pain for me, 20 hours just for the head...but it was very fun
the other part of the painting were more "easy"
so now this one is finish i have to begun a new one...and...i have an idea hehe.

hope you will like it, even you're not a 30STM fan/echelons.
