[sfxbecks]

This is one of the hardest things Ive had to do! It was an assignment for university!

If anyone is interested I have step by step photos of this!! >.< (Is that showing off??)

[Ally]

That. Is. EPIC!!!!! So freakin' awesome! And yes, it is showing off, but you've earned the bragging rights!

Funny, I just saw this guy again last night! He always pops up when I'm minding my own business

I love this, it's great - and I would be VERY interested to see the step by step photos! ^^

[sfxbecks]

Aww Thanks guys! ^_^ Still got some photoshopping to do yet before I hand the final piece in!

Here are the WIP photos...Sorry for 1) The poor quality photo 2) The mess in the backgrounds 3) My poor attempt at sticking them together!! But I hope you enjoy them either way!

I should tell you a bit about it...I had to draw out orthographics (which you can see in the first stages of sculpting in the background - yeah, I cant draw! ) I used steel rods to make the armature, I then padded it out with foil (this was to save clay and to make it slightly lighter) I sculpted my horse and horseman, then made moulds of both sculpts with plaster and then used a vac form machine (which heats up sheets of plastic and uses a vacuum to force the plastic tight onto the plaster moulds) to make plastic moulds of both plaster moulds. I then cut them out and with a lot of gluing later he was done!! It was so much harder then it sounds! The legs didnt want to vac form (but I will blur them in photoshop...in a ghostly way) And I had to make the horses ears out of spare plastic and stick them on!! >.<

That is so, so awesome! I hope your professor liked (and recignized?) it, and that you got an equally awesome grade!

Thanks!! And the hand in is on Monday! But while I was gluing it all together he said it was impressive!! Lets hope my photoshop skills dont let me down so I can hide the horrible seams, and hopefully get a better grade!!
