Hello Michael. I like the wire a lot. How did you do it if you dont mind me asking? :cool:

[Rafael Hernandez]

Ugh, I'm getting "The Exorcist" flashbacks. Very well done Mike. I like the barbwire necklace. :tu: :tu:

[PusGhetty]

Thank you all for the comments!
;~)
Hardtwist, I used the Ring3d ztool for the wire and the Helix3d ztool for the barbs.
I went ahead and recorded a quick Zscript to illustrate my method better. Here it is:

Take care,

the barb wire looks excellent. the only thing I find weird is that is Eyeballs seem to be placed a bit deep in his sockets.
Like the hair too , most Z models are bald :p
very cool image Michael :)

Scary looking dude. Ron will love him ~G~ Good job.

[PusGhetty]

Thanks for the comments... I appreciate them all!
Kevin, you have a great eye... I agree with you that the eyes are pushed back a little... I did this intentionally, I guess you are right, it does look a little strange though!
Take care all,
Michael

He could have been one of the extras for a Clive Barker movie. Nice one, Pus- the barb wire is a cool feature. :tu: :)

[Ron Harris]

love it PG. I relate alot of works people do to icons we all associate with in the world. I want you to close your eyes, think of Leonardo DeCaprio with black dyed hair and gritting his teeth a bit, then open your eyes again and look back at this piece. I tell you, to me it's uncanny. This is a compliment btw....so dont get me wrong. But that is who I thought of immediately. Now I dont know if you ever saw the first Evil Dead movie. But if you did, think back about the possessions in that movie and how they appeared on the screen. Now put that element and the Leo mental image together again. (I know I am strange in my thought process at times..but hey...this is how the Big Man made me) anyhoo.....you have produced a very kewl image. :cool: :eek: :cool:

Thank you Michael for the barb wire script. I made barbed wires all day yesterday. Love the eyes especially.

[PusGhetty]

Thanks to everyone for the comments!
Ron, what a strange thing... it does kind of look like a made up Leonardo! Thanks man! I saw the Evil Dead when I was 13... one of my all-time favorite movies!
Arleen,
I'm glad to see you over here!
Thanks for the kind words,
Take care,
Michael
