Added a digital picture done in photoshop 5.... probably.It's on my site now, the second picture down on the right. http://www.geocities.com/philirvinguk/page4.html
I did this about a year ago i think ( one project blends into another this one was canned) She was done from a text concept in about a day whilst trying to put five other faces to names and no doubt being pestered wuith various other bobbins with the sole purpose of distracting me. I used little else apart from the airbrush tool, i can see all the problems with it now but for a reasonably swift piece its ok. Feel free to pass judgement comment critique etc.
Thankyou for your time.

The painting looks pretty cool, althought there are problems with the mouth i think.
but in reference to your sculptures, you are my new hero. seriously.

Yeah i know what you mean with the mouth my imaginary people always seem to go a little funny one way or another. I found this again whilst trawling the depths of my hard drive i didd a couple of other faces but that old proiject is now zipped up and the unzipped folder fro it is over 2gigs!!! I tried playing around with the image some time ago to rectify the problem but the image is zipped up I'm afraid and takes too long to unzip. I may revisit this image and try and fix it from the way this one was saved. I've started a doodle for the security draw club thing which i will post in a day or two ( usually for me the subject being an imaginary one has drifted into realm of goblin type things, much more interesting faces to draw than plain old pretty people.)Thnakyou for the kind comment about my sculpture work too stay tuned for futher developments i have contructed the armature for the new scaley bloke thing so the fiure will follow in a few days when i get a chance.

Added another imaginary girl i started not long after finishing the other. I abandoned the piece because i was having trouble with the nose. All drawn from scratch in photoshop with my trusty wacom. I think i will revisit it and try and finish it. http://www.geocities.com/philirvinguk/page4.html she's at the bottom.

curiosity question, what type of clay do you use for your little sculptures?

fimo?

Phileasfogg · Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2002 10:11 pm

B -Yeah i do indeed use fimo, it does what i want it too so I'm happy with it for now:-)
I can get all the detail i need to out of it. I need some finer tools though my eyes exceed what i can do with a 1mm watch screwdriver :-)
