Sculptures and Sets
-
Trying to build sets to go along with sculptures I make. I know this could work for children's books, but it's obviously a lot of learning. Samantha Cotterill's work caught my eye recently and I'm going to try adapting some of what she does with what Chris Sickels does and come out with something of my own.
Built this little set yesterday, and made furniture for it today. Trying out sculpts in different lighting to see what it would be like to work with. Knocked the whole thing over twice at this point, but whatever. No different than drawing on the wrong layer for 20 minutes

@kylebeaudette this is so cool!

@kylebeaudette I have always loved your sculpts!! Super nice! I think for lighting that starting with a diffused light that lights the whole area evenly then adding directional light and possibly raking light to capture important texture would help make the lighting feel more natural or real...this is what i remember from helping to photograph sculptures some 25 years or so ago...lol ...the lighting right now makes me picture the lightbulb right outside the window - you probably know all of this...and i could be wrong..anyways ...great work

@kylebeaudette I love stuff like this! I don’t know exactly what to call this type of sculpting but I really enjoy it. It reminds me of this indie game called The Dream Machine. It’s got some very neat artwork!

@Kevin-Longueil
Yeah, I need to buy a bunch of lights. Im lighting some of these pictures with an IKEA light that comes with a glass shelf. I saw some toy photographers used little lights that could be attached to the table, I'll look into that I guess -
@Griffin polymer clay sculpting I guess

@kylebeaudette Looks well cool. Good to build them a world to live in. I think your creatures would suit being lit in a German expressionist style set. Aperture do amazing small lights and they can be meshed together. I was looking at getting one, the Aputure MC RGBWW LED Light. I've got a couple of their bigger lights and they're brilliant. The Aputure MC can turn any colour, plus they have a number of lighting FX like - paparazzi, Fireworks, Faulty bulb, Lightning, TV, Pulsing, Fire, Party, Cop Car. It's the size of a credit card.

@sigross cool! I'll look them up!

Basic set so far, going to try filling in the corrugation on the cardboard and painting it ti see if that adds much for the work involved. -

Love the lighting on the black and white ones. Makes it more cinematic. Have you seen the animation short film The Maker (by Christopher Kezelos)? Worth checking out if you haven't. I really like the way It has a shallow depth of field to pull the eye around the scene. I think you'd appreciate the characters oddness.

@sigross sweet, I'll check it out, thanks
