CHIMERA - Update

Here's an updated Version of my Chimera, almost finished. the picture was taken in a friends Studio, to get all the details.

Rosl Update

Recently I visited Austria and stopped by to check on Rosl , if she needs some cosmetic treatments since the Bust has been exposed to all Weather conditions for 7 Years already. To my surprise i found, that she is still in pretty good condition ! 

The second Bust, that has been ordered for an Exhibition in 2008, was just recently mounted at the Place  where she used to live.

Beginning of this Year, my Teammate Maurico gave me a pair of expensive Pedals for my Bicycle. He didn't want anything in return, so i offered to create a mini - ME of Him.Almost finished with the sculpt, i didnt know exactly what to do with the hair...also didn't want to put a bicycle helmet on either.... Then Mauricio participated at Race Across Amerika and got a Mohawk  - here was my solution  ! - I gave the mini me a Mohawk - and it looked perfect ! It went  a little crazy with the detail, because i wanted to make an authentic look from this years-2011 racing skinsuit.I sculpted a piece of Cobblestone Paver for the pedestal, to get a classic bicycle-race look - having Mauricio standing on it :)

Philippe

As part of the sculpture services from sculptco (www.sculptco.com) i was asked to create a concept with a following prototype of a character for the famous www.philippes.com - French Dip Sandwich restaurant in Los Angeles.



I started out with a digital 3D concept, which has been approved immediately. Next step was to create a clay-sculpture, where i needed to make some changes to the initial 3d concept.


Then create the mold - since this is a simple character,creating the mold was pretty easy.
I decided to make a two pieces mold, first the Hand holding the plate then the rest of the character.

And here is the final Philippe's Character -

Chimera - Work in Progress

I was always amazed by the Creatures of the Greek Mythology. My inspiration for this Project came from a concept art for the console game "God of War 3".
A challenging part was to create everything from scratch, especially the wire armature-(see pictures below)
The armature is built to detach the three horns at the back and the arms, for creating separate molds.
It will still take some time to finish all the skin details. After that i will create molds for horns, arms and snake-tail to cast it with resin. Stay posted for the finished sculpt !
