Scared Silly Entry by Stefano Dubay

[sephirothsinic]

Here is my submission for this contest, the idea is having an old witch getting embarassed by having her "scarecrow" shirt stolen by one the the crows she was supposed to scare, some kind of grotesque conceptual "contrappasso" experiment.
Hopefully I'll get to texture/render it properly soon ...

hope you'll like it!
BTW every image comes with a link to the highres one on my imageshack account

Great concept and execution. I think you missed out on an amazing month of community interaction, but your entry is superb regardless.

[sephirothsinic]

i'm pretty new to online contests, i kinda missed that part of the process and i'm a bit sorry for it, it would have been fun, but anyway next time i'll definitely follow the community collective work flow better :) thanks!!

Classy.. I really like this piece.

[sephirothsinic]

thank you all for the kind words!

[sephirothsinic]

here's the veoh link 4 the Turntable, i thought of it more as a sculpt than an illustration so it maybe render better in a 3D rotation

Special Thanks to Brian Sunderlin, Brian Wilcox and the whole staff

I'm expecially happy about how the hands came out, the fat on the neck
and the skin on the back particularly on the shoulderblade area

thanks again!!

no time to color correct it, the green stuff is material to hold it in place bacause the square hole for che center pole on the support was mathematically watertight and will needs some sanding, the birds are printed apart and will need some reconstruction for the legs but ii'm planning to mold it soon :ex:

This is my final render though :)

Semplicemente Meraviglioso Stefano!!! :eek:

... ma scusa una domanda: quanto costa stampare in 3d un modello?

Devo dire che non mi dispiacerebbe per nulla... ;)

[sephirothsinic]

dipende dalle specifiche, se si deve spedire in italia ovviamente si pagano le spedizioni, mandami degli ortho con misure e scala ed un po di note e ti faccio fare un preventivo, penso suia possibile includere anche il calco in silicone ma nn sono sicuro...
grazie x il complimento!

:)

[guti]

Quoto Pix!
Semplicemente meraviglioso!

[Bas Mazur]
