A very nice thread. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Whenever Edward Gibbon wanted to deplore some event in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he'd say; "It was a spectactle which offered neither entertainment nor edification. "


You've given us both entertainment and edification.

Very cool,

What are your settings for the clay (or clay tubes) brush.

Very cool sculpt Ryan!

Peace,

NIckZ.

Hey Nick, great new website!

The settings for the clay brush are pretty default. The only thing I adjust is the Brushmod slider to get more elevation.

Wow, very expressive sculpts, the drowned soldiers i mean, and the video of the mouth was a pleasure to watch! im so impressed

[rouncer]

Good muscular form, even better than I would deem usable art already.

[brettSinclair]

Omg! Ryan that is some beautiful sculpting. Thanks for showing your vids to

[ryankingslien]

So, I said to myself the other day,

"Ryan. What would a muscular dude be doing underwater and under the influence of a demonic force? If he was muscular wouldn't he have escaped?"

To which I replied, "Yeah, you're absolutely right."





Then I worked more on the second figure:





Here is turntable of them together:

Hey Ryan,

I really like your work on this. I think it might be neat to have some of the skin sloughing off a la Titian or some sense of the bodies' decay. I love the scene in LOTR where the dead bodies are seen underwater (pallid transparent skin, opaque eyes, etc.) Wow, that sounded really morbid...looking forward to updates!

[boeba]

i like it,it kinda reminds me of rodin, especially the hands and the eyes and also the touch of youre brush,more please

[Xavier Henry]

this is really nice Ryan!
and your last matcap also!
can't wait to see more..

[ryankingslien]

Rebeccak - Yeah, that would be cool. I thought alot about drapery as well as about including the siren. At first, I thought I would do a period piece and include revolutionary era clothing. However, I have decided to take a more suggestive route and find a way to include more architectural elements. In the latest composition, the siren is completely gone. So, perhaps, instead of drapery their skin could be gathering around them!

Thanks boeba and Xavier Henry.

Another morning sculpt.



Rendered with Ralf Stumpf's Modeling Clay MatCap. Learn more here.

Here is a recording of the sculpt. Half way through I switch to one of Ralf's MatCap materials to see what it's like to sculpt while it looks like Plastic.
