As you can just make out the mask falls short of his ears on this one which he wants corrected on the new one. He also gave me some wider mesh like cloth for the air vents this time. He has asked me if i can add a few 'defining' details into the sides of the new mask too whilst keeping the intial 'shape' of the first mask (above) i made.
Of course whilst still being a none paying commission a commission is still a commission that draws attention to a artists work in the end. Whilst discussing the finer details of the mask i rembered i told his girlfriend i'd make her a free sculpture for a belated (late) birthday present. I had put off & put off on that commission as she asked me to make her a Jack Jack. I don't like to do copies of copyrighted subjects as a rule. So it is a couple of days work to do both projects, more than likely 4/7 days in all. So all MY works are on hold until mid next week unless i can work miracles lol.
I still have to make him some gas mask skulls too (pictures posted when done of course). Who knows i might just be able to get to those sometime soon too (hence the 70-100 skulls i started making & mentioined in an earlier post - See side bar WIP WATCH images). Either way i will post the result the minute i get something to photograph folks lol.
Sounds like you'll be quite busy for a bit...Ha!
ReplyDeleteI need to start a painting...I went to see Alice in Wonderland which has inspired me to add a little more dimension to my loyal subjects...:)
You bet. I have been on nearly an hour just reorganising my small work area just so i can start the commission work lol. The problem is i only have a few hours this morning while my son is here to make up the 'blank' mask i will make the 'final' mask from lol. I am still a good thirty minutes from seeing table top yet lol.
ReplyDeleteI have as much still to paint finished projects wise as i have to finish & make. I hate painting lol.
