Artisan General

[Lalam24]

Not only would I rather not make a new thread for every project I start, but I also like to encourage people to try their hand at this sort of thing.  So, post anything related to 3D traditional works!

NOTE: Anything artworks you've produced that are 3 dimensional, and NOT displayed in a digital fashion(3D printed objects are permitted), can be posted here.

Ok, "3D traditional works" Can you clarify that that's only for hand made things? Because you don't want people mistaking this for a 3D model topic like the other one.
So traditional meaning "Not by computer" correct?

That is obviously the case, yes.  However, people using action figure bases, and such, is permitted here.  If anything, it's anything that isn't displayed digitally; I'll even accept 3D printed works.

My dad used to do stuff like this to the people that came with the battlefield models. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures...

I wish I had some clay.

A little something I've been working on:

Does ceramics count as Traditional Artisan crafts? :P
Anyways, I only have a few other things BESIDES ceramics:

Pretty old. A couple years ago probably. Made this for an Arts School entry. You may thing that the clay is just taking shape to the plaster mold of a face under it, but the plaster mold is there so I can take what I sculpted on there and make it into a mask that will fit that guy's head. All the facial features of the original face have been changed to make the man look a lot older. This isn't even good. This was just getting the general details in. I got in the school with that, and then, as I was transporting it, it fell over and crushed most of the face onto a carpeted area. Not only was the face ruined, but so was the clay, because it had a ton of hair in it. :P

And a suit of cardboard armor... :/ Made this earlier this year.

Yeah... If I had a more full view, it would look a lot cooler.

A little DIY mask I made some time last year. Made out of assorted parts from a toy set, some cups, and a couple LEDs.

v This is a WIP picture. Probably looks better than after it was spray-painted. v

I'm so cool with my airsoft gun... :/

Well, regardless of the fact that you did create all of the features on the face, I think the real study of the head/face is also dependant on the shape you must create.  I'm not saying it's bad, at all -- I'm simply saying that it shows the ability to create new adaptions of an already existent human form, not the ability to actually create a face.

Regardless, very nice!

[Azerath]

Yeah, I usually don't sculpt over faces. I usually just make my own because it's more fun and rewarding. :)

i tried making a daft punk helmet, Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo's helmet to be specific. my first attempt with expandable foam didn't work so well, so then i tried paper:



by this time i figured out that model was too small. so i went online and found a bigger one:






the paper model didn't work out so well either. it was very flimsy, difficult to work with, and very had to get all the proportions right, so i'm going to take a shot at expandable foam again.

[Lalam24]

Paper really isn't something you want to use.  Try using polymers/wax based products, then cast it into resin.

Ahh cartoony Link.
Just wondering, the paint or whatever you used for his eyes? Is it permanent? Because if you make a mistake it would be nice to be able to fix.
