Chip the Wolf and other new reliefs
🕑 Added 2020-07-14 17:12:36 +0000 UTCOn May 8, I created my first major work, which was to mark the main vector of my art, a sculptural relief of Snow Leopard from "Chowder" cartoon show. By the main vector, I mean that I wanted to work primarily with sculpture, but after that I liked to do pencil drawing, because got too much ideas and a pencil is the best helper for their rapid implementation.
But still, my desire to create pieces in this technique did not go anywhere, I set a goal to do at least one relief per month, I don’t know how I will deal with it in far future, but so far it turns out. There were no new reliefs in June, but now I post whole 3 new artworks at one.
Unfortunately, all my big plans about special conceptual photo shoot got ruined by bad rainy weather, as my only opportunity to take good photos of these works is to bring them far to the village to my only friends who have a good camera, but really good photos with normal lighting can only be taken outside, so we could hardly take this basic set of photos. But I'm still able to drive to them anytime later and try again when the weather will be better, so my next trip is planned on a middle August.
And now about artworks themselves. The first two is portraits of main characters from old "Štaflík a Špagetka" ("Stepladder and Spaghetti") Czech 1960th cartoon. I love those guys very much, but as the most Eastern Europe this cartoon is really much unknown and has no any fanart of it, so it seems that I'm the first one who actually did it. In truth, the drawings with these characters made in may right after that Snow Leopard relief were my first fanart, I made 13 of them but just wanted to post them publicly only after finishing these sculptured portraits. But I wasn't used to do pencil shading at first time so now they look too simple for my new difficult style and I want to redraw them in better quality.
The third one is our beloved and much more famous Chip the Wolf. I was thinking for a long time about making body liquids imitation using polyurethane glue with white paint and fortunately, the first experiment was successful.
Also here you can see the progress from first rough steps to final smooth and shiny artwork.
