Competition #7 - djorzgul

[djorzgul]

My second mudding... today, instead of finishing the lady nobody wants to comment I found one drawing I did for a character for an exercise here in school and I realized that he is the perfect for make-me-from-sphere thing... in original version he has long thin arms and legs, but I am not sure that I will manage to do that in muddy in a right way... anyway... here's the push-me-pull-me little fella.. (somebody may remember the creature based on the same concept from Hugh Loftings books Doctor Dolittle...)

rispek' ta all mudders around here

[Daedalus]

thats looking good
i love those face. hehe smilling jelly-bean

[achmedthesnake]

thats cool! - little more detail...

are they meant to be individual - each unique? if so pump up the opposite emotion/characters heaps (happy/sad - evil/good)..
bad fetus bean/good fetus bean......

i liked your 'female/mother' pagan idol - but this fits into the theme a little bit more.

[FearOfDreaming]

hmm, this is pretty cool. I think you should sclupt them a butt on the bottom where they join together...

[djorzgul]

he, thanks, mostly I will work on asymmetry till the deadline.
The idea when I created the character was that they exist as one a little bit psychotic person, and that every situation begins in cooperative atmosphere and then gradually to make them react more and more different to make a conflict... The assignment was to make a character based on a given dialog, and that fitted pretty much in the story... in the beginning we could see just their heads behind the table and in the very end it was revealed that in fact it is one person, psycho...


achmedthesnake, I'd really like to hear why you think that pagan mamma doesn't fit the theme... since it is funny in the way, and it is completely made from the sphere (well in the end she looks like a sphere, doesn't she).. and don't get me wrong, I am not protective to my work, I am just curious why do you think like you wrote...


respect to all

[achmedthesnake]

hey dude - nothing personal
- to me the 'fat lady/idol momma' evokes the images of an actual physical scupture (art), and doesn't emit the same sense of funny, hilariousness or visual entertainment as much as these^ guys (pushme - pullme) - just from looking at them - even at the detail level it's at now draws my eyes and brain in a little bit more ...

maybe its just my interpretation - if it was me i'd push the pagan idol mother into another direction - like from the looks of it it could be changed into a pagan - cleaning idol for medieval/iceage housewives/cavewives - with a broom and apron(stoneage...etc)-( i can just image it going momma mia!)
meh - what do you think?

[djorzgul]

well, yes... adding some kind of detail would be good, I like the broomstick idea... on the other hand it is very tricky to do that with just one sphere... but it is very possible that I will upgrade the model later on when I have more time, and render it nicely with displacements...
The catch is that I have that traditional sculpting background, and while I was on fine art academy I did few of those pagan interpretations... and I wanted to try it in digital form... and somehow mudbox is perfect for that kind of sculpting...
I completely understand what you said, and I agree, and in the same time I feel that in the way it is good to have various interpretations/understandings of what-can-I-make-from-sphere challenge... and pagan mamma is just one of them...
and it is a bit funny... isn't she

+ a little update:

[chris89]
