One, amazing. Two, I will never sleep normally again. Excellent.
Thanks a lot!
@bradjames: Ahahha I would see him printed as well, I’m following some interesting thread about that here on zbc, I don’t know if there is something similar in Italy, hope so! I posed him in zbrush with transposè, very easy tool once u get into it! I did it late in the modeling process, not really at the end but once the major details were there, this way I could work on those areas where the skin gets compressed or stretched for the pose and add a bit more of realism to the forms.
Anyway I already have some ideas for the next puppet…and have to thank u all because for me this thread means “do more, do better” and most importantly “do what u have in your mind, just have fun”. Couldn’t be happier!

hey this is kick ass stuff…
awesome work dude
Great Model !!! 
duuuudeee …u rooock…:o nice ding down therer…keep it up…
:rolleyes: this is really amazing
The peice actually reminds me of some of Shinya Tsukamoto’s films(Tokyo Fist, Snake of June, Tetsuo). His films often contain themes of sexual inadequacy, and may disturb many “male” viewers. Clive Barker is also know to create horrific stories that delve into this subject matter(The Madonna). It is a very bold topic for horror and a very specific cerebral fear.
Your peice definatly provokes that feeling, whether or not that is it’s purpose. I find it to be a very successful peice of art.

Ciao Fede! Come Va?!
The first time i saw this image was in you very early preliminary stages! It has evolved a lot from then! Paul called me the other day to tell me about this, and i had to see straight away!
Amazing. Really. I dont know what else to say. Will there be more?
Salute mi tutti a bluemotion!
Hey ! 
Like I said on msn this guy is pimp! 
@the_podman: Rod, your comment is very interesting, since I’m a very big fan of Tsukamoto’s movies ( I’m in love with all the japanese culture btw, in fact I’m so sick about japan that my degree is about japanese culture and language ). For sure I’ve been influenced by a lot of things like everyone, the disturbing relationship between love/sex/pain in tsukamoto’s movies maybe could be a piece of all that…for sure it is “Snake of June” was really disturbing about that but a great movie.
@Tisko: Hi man, how is it going? Thanks for you support it is great to have your opinion here 
At the studio nothing change too much but my english that is getting worst Take care Matt!
@spacemonkey: Thanks Tim, can’t wait to see your model finished, you rock!
Thanks everyone
Bye

Yah seriously disturbing. I wonder what would happen if someone went and did a ginormous female now.
As in big enough for babies to walk in and out.
Would you then agree that it’s just bad taste? Imagine how upset girls would get… but great technique sure.
Honest I can’t appreciate it when ppl start sculpting organs away.
Makes me want to model a meat grinder next
Wow, It’s so great work, I like it so much
amazing work,cool concept,details are great,love the final mental ray render,look awesome:D
looking cool man, i like the overall proportion, shapes and muscles definition.
Looking great, the details are nicely done
I just really didn’t know what to say the first time this image came up, because you can’t deny the level of skill. No matter how you slice it though, bizarre, mutated, cheapened sexuality is the focus of of the work even though I’m certain weeks if not months were spent sculpting the other 95% of the model and it’s a shame.
Hi Imhotep,
thanks for taking the time to write down your impressions, I’m not really sure what the final “shame” stand for ( due to my lack of english knowledge :o ), is it a shame that the focus of the work is so bizarre that the modeling though of certain quality would not be considered in the right way?
I’m a bit confused about the real meaning of the sentence

There’s no dual meaning. The combination of the title of the piece along with reinforcement from the bizarre male genitalia and animal head forces a “human” viewer to focus on the genitalia, because inherently human beings know what it is and can relate to it with that knowledge. Focusing on the genitalia based on the style choice and artist given name of the piece means people are NOT focusing on the other 95% of the model where the other 95% of the work on the model was committed and that’s the shame of it.
As far as “standards”…sure I have an opinion. While I believe in an artist’s right to be able to express themselves as they please I also believe that some artists abuse this idea by attempting to offend as many people as humanly possible (like “Piss Christ”) ultimately not to make any kind of artistic contribution, but to draw attention to themselves to compensate for some deficiency (perceived or otherwise) in their real life. I think this image would be considered offensive by 99% of non-artists (women and men) and I think many artists would praise you to your face while considering you some tweaked out sexually repressed pervert behind your back (snickering if you will), but that’s just my opinion.
I don’t know about others, but I did not focus on this - somewhat well rendered - huge d*ck, and I don’t think people would just focus on it without appreciating the rest ; I mean the concept! The idea!
Well Butch, clear enough this time!
I appreciate your frankness, the great thing about having the opportunity to talk and discuss with people all around the world is that lets you relate with any kind of people, different cultures, religions, habits and so on.
Speaking about the image, I would consider your opinion as a compositional critique for improving my future works since you address a problem of “focus”: leading the eyes of the viewer focusing where I want is one of the main techniques I’m studing right now so hope I could do better in the future.
Speaking about your opinion of what’s behind my image, as I said previously, you’re free to judge, free to think, free of write down you’re opinions.
But I’m free to answer as well.
What exactly offends you in my image? Is the idea to look at a monster with a ***** binded to chains? Just curious, since I cannot get anything offensive in this if you relate the whole idea to the background story I described. And also if u don’t relate the image to anything, I find very hard to be offended, maybe you could be embrassed, you could be disgusted, you could have a lot of emotion…cannot get how you can feel offended.
Secondly, if I have to be very honest, I feel offended by you judging me, a person you never talk to, as a “tweaked out sexually repressed pervert behind your back” just because you have your opinion on a single model I sculpt. C’mon man, you think it’s mature and intelligent to think to have a clear idea of how a person is just by judging a single artwork? Look at my gallery online, do you see a lot of perversion?
Anyway this is just a suggestion to be a bit more carefull while judging people in general, maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not but try to have some concrete reason to think something of someone.
Besides that…it’s just a 3d model :rolleyes:
…and twisted is cool :evil:
