Very early stages on this one but here are a few work-in-progress pics of my latest piece. Still following the aquatic theme after just completing the Atlantis sculpture.

* My sculptures tend to take me around 100 to 200 hours to complete so with only about 20 – 30 hours in this piece I still have a lot to do.

Starting on some of the detail work to test what texture I am going to use (long ways to go but gives an idea of the direction I am headed in)

Thanks for looking.

Patiently protecting us from the enemies at our gates
There will be no mercy if you stumble down my path
For your only indulgence of Atlantis will be the taste of my wrath

Atlantis Test

Just a few picture test for the Atlantis sculpture (playing around with different angles and the picture background). Big thank you to Bryan Thome for doing such an excellent job taking the photos.

The sculpture was hand painted with airbrush and acrylic paints. The different coloration on the rider’s skin was painted with chalk (pastels).

Test One

Test Two

Test Three

Test Four

All the best,

Painting Atlantis

Gerald — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:17:47 +0000

I’m working on the paint design for my Altantis sculpture now. Still a work-in-progress but I thought I would show a couple of pics of what I have so far.

Guardian of Atlantis – Done!

Well it took forever and a day but I finally finished this piece (minus some very minor cleanup work). Looking forward to my next project .

Thanks for looking.

Another Atlantis Update

Gerald — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:44:01 +0000

Quick little update on Atlantis….

I’ve switched gears a little bit and started working again on the female rider. I still have a bit more that needs to be done to the seahorse.

Still working on this one and if I never sculpt a seahorse again it will be too soon . The detail work can get pretty trival at times but I eventually will finish this sucka!

and a close up of the tail…..

More to come later…

Playing with Wax

Gerald — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 23:39:11 +0000

I’ve been wanting to try wax out for some time now so I finally decided to bite the bullet and give it try. There is a bit of learning curve with wax and the more I play with it the more my comfort level increases with the product. I did have the same issue when I started sculpting with polymer clays a few years back but over time I learned a lot from the medium.

So far I like it and with a few adjustments here and there I’m making pretty good progress on a new piece. The specific wax that I am using is called FUSE. I decided to give FUSE a try because it does have similar properties to polymer clay. When heated it has a very doughy feel to it and becomes rock hard once it cools.

Haven’t decided on the official name for my new piece but basically it will be centered around the theme of Altantis (probably something like Guardian of Atlantis). The sculpture is a work-in-progress of a female soldier riding on a giant seahorse.

Enjoy…
