But you aren't satisfied with just an idea; you want something to look at, or hold on to, something you can experience. You need to build your Idea into something Real, and share the treasure in your mind with the rest of the world.
But how do you get from Concept to Creation?Spykehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12003921257401018145noreply@blogger.comBlogger14125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632934515705944884.post-77356925493159725642012-08-24T13:42:00.001-07:002012-08-24T13:54:21.198-07:00<br />

If you look at the base, you can see that I made them extra large. I can use these wire skeletons for either scaled-up Vikings, just to show I can make my characters big and detailed... or I can make them extra huge Giants, or some other monster and place my smaller models in there too just to show the size difference. Giants were big in those days man.. not just a few feet taller than you, but like 5-6 times taller.

Now that I realised 6 months can become a project instead of time to kill, I've become a happier, more motivated person. <br /><br /> So whats the project I have decided to put my time and energy in? Sculpture. I've always had a love for art you can hold, and not just on a piece of paper. Sculpture's are always cool, no matter how big or small, and every variation in style brings new wonder and excitement. <br /><br /> I sculpt, and post pictures...Spykehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12003921257401018145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632934515705944884.post-36941338480832050762009-07-22T14:42:00.000-07:002009-07-22T14:48:50.857-07:00I'm no expert when it comes to production. I might hold onto an idea for years and years with nothing to show for it. But there comes a time when a person has to do more than just dream. This is my time for action and dedication. I have a dream that I want to make real, and this is the beginning of my journey. <br /><br /> I want to write and direct for film and television. I want to design the videogame of my dreams. I want to make sculptures for comic book stores, and draw pictures that people would want to hang on their walls. <br /><br /> I have been building stepping stones for these goals my whole life, but damn it, it's about time I started to connect the dots and get the ball rolling.Spykehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12003921257401018145noreply@blogger.com0
