An unusual Zbrushing....

Very interesting work. I like it. Do I see a bit of Meats Meier influence in some of your pieces?

@zber2
What this work has to do with meats meier? I don't see any particular influence from his work.
I can see the influence of the great 20th century Paris movement, the Italian one, recent modern artists like giger or others but... I mean a lot of influences as it should be. Its art.

I was referring to the illustrative style of the following 2 pieces and I was only asking, and not implying anything. Why would you be making a derogatory statement on the way that I chose to perceive something. I was only complimenting the artist, not instigating a debate as to whether or not my perception agrees with yours. EOD

This is cool looking. Like modern art but in 3D space! Awsome Francesco Mai!

This stuff is insanely cool, and also very inspiring, love it!

Francesco, these sculptures are beautiful yet disturbing

I see a biizarre twisted planets surface with one of them.
Great use of ZBrush

First of all thank you so much for all your enthusiasm about my artworks...Thank again to the omnipresent Michalis,to jramaur,to yoogy,to Sigmund Hentze,to zber2 (by the way I was fascinated to Meats Meier from the very first time I saw him),to Dragon and finally to GeoCat.

So do yo want to see more?

Here you are.....and do not forget that everything you see I created and rendered always in Zbrush (sometimes also with ZB 3.1!) with the Pixol 2.5 D technology...

this is spectacular work... to what zber said... i agree with you. i get a meats miers feal also. not implying anything wrong with that. i also get an escher feel aswell. and giger too. all three great artists. id think it would be a compliment to be compared to such artists. excellent work.

I only meant that francesco's work has some more and deeper references. Art museums aren't full of escher and giger's works. There are more.
I particularly like to watch some detailed movements here and there. More free hand elements. Difficult to express it in english, so sorry.

Good morning everybody,
as I promise yesterday here you are three more images of my 2.5 D Zbrushing artistic research.

@Michalis for"Art museums aren't full of escher and giger's works." Hey,what's a wonderful compliment!

.See you tomorrow with the next ones...Have a nice weekend.

In my opinion Art has the task to wonder the human soul,so I am very disgusted from all this trash in Contemporary Art..No technique,no ideas,no capability to work with by hand or by computer..Only provocation and desecration sold at incredible prices.This is speculation.Instead to work with covered warrants and stocks someone uses Art to create money.This is not right for Art.Is it true that Art is the mirror of the society but those "artists"are specialized in crap..So go home and let work the REAL ARTISTS (sorry for my vent).
