The sculptors were busy today adding the handles and details to the axes. On their first axe they made a perfect handle. It was time for a little art direction and a story. The sculptors went back and got brutal with the tools adding battle marks, nicks, dings, weathering and much more character to the axes. In an instant they looked much better! They had a handle on the detail.
The real fun begins
The giant target features for the Viking ships in Dubai are now ready for the sculpting to begin. They started in sculpting the axe handles and other small detailed pieces today. Tomorrow we'll give the client an inspection and then we start the real fun part begins as we make it all look like the model we created a while back.
Drawing for fun
Today was a day off for me. That gave me a bunch of time to do what I enjoy most. I spent time with both of my grand-girls and also some time to do some relaxing drawing - just for fun. And what did I draw? My grand-girls of course. The first drawing was from a photo I took of Phoebe about a year and a half ago. It captures Phoebe in her element, studying nature. She was catching tadpoles from a nearby brook. The second drawing is of little Juniper, now sitting on her own and just starting to be mobile. The photo I worked from was taken yesterday.
