Another drought of posts invariably means I’ve gotten busy with work. But hey, work = paying bills = well, you get the picture.<\/p>\n
I’ve had only a little time to try out more sculpting with ZBrush. The goblin head got a little more detailed and I’ll share that with you soon.<\/p>\n
Some people have asked if I’ve considered using 3D printing to make the goblin head a physical reality. You bet I have! But I’m not going to jump into that until I feel I know what the hell I’m doing so that when I make the sculpture available, it’s worth people’s pennies.<\/p>\n
Chances are that when it comes time to make the sculpture, I’ll use Kickstarter<\/a> to produce it. Seems like the best way to reach people worldwide and ensure the production run isn’t horribly over or under stocked.<\/p>\n Here’s a link to someone who’s managed to really capture people’s attention on Kickstarter with a 3D printed sculpture. It’s a beautifully ornate skull.<\/a> He started with the hopes of raising $500 and he presently stands at just shy of $34,000 with 30 days left to run! <\/p>\n Just look at the static image for his video, that’s just damn cool and sells the piece before he’s even said a word. Besides the beautiful design, I think the subject matter appeals to a wide audience and that’s fueling this amazingly successful endeavor. I don’t think a fantasy based sculpt could hope to come close to that kind of total.<\/p>\n Though I’d be happy to be proven wrong.<\/p>\n Switching gears, but still sticking with Kickstarter, my wife Jillian, better known as the Lady of the Manners from Gothic Charm School<\/a> is helping out on an indie coming-of-age goth movie called ‘My Summer as a Goth’ and they’re also raising money on Kickstarter to help with initial costs. One of the donation rewards is a part in the movie! Anyway, check it out here.<\/a><\/p>\n With that, it’s back to the current assignments. Eventually I’ll be able to share them with you but for now I’ll leave you with these tidbits about this mystery commission; …Aaaaaaaand that’s all my NDA will allow at the moment.

\nIt’s for a company I’ve never worked with before.
\nThey’re a HUGE company.
\nThe stuff I’m drawing for them is probably one of the last things you’d ever imagine me doing.<\/p>\n
