Beautiful work again buddy. 8) 8)

 

[tundra9]

Thanks Mike, that's 5 knives in 4 weeks, and I'm not stopping anytime soon!

 

[Michael Sith]

They are works of art mate, and the cultural aspect also adds to the whole piece.

You should be very proud of the talent you have, and that you are carrying on a tradition. Sadly so much tradition falls by the wayside, so keep on making them

Hats off to you bud

 

[tundra9]

Thanks, my grandfather was an "official" rep for this kind of crafts, travelled around the world with exhibits to show our culture,
sadly, not much of his stuff is in the family anymore, and I didn't get to know him or to learn from his knowledge before he died,
so doing this keeps his memory and legacy alive I guess..

Brilliant knife, wish i could do that sort of work, but being in the uk theres probably a law against it.
Well usually come halloween time i'm busy making masks and horror type props, but due to an ongoing illness i've only been able to do a couple this year, finished this guy for a friend for his halloween party

this is the same mould it has glass eyes added and straight hair finishing this for a collector

 

[tundra9]

Holy crap!
That's one awesome clown, loved that movie! 8)

Thought I would join the party in this thread...

A feast of Fetts, Vintage Holiday Special, Vintage Prototype and the original Vintage Fett.

Created in Illustrator and refined in Photoshop.

BTW is thread private from non members? Should I be watermarking any images I post?

 

[Michael Sith]

Nice 8) JC

Make a good Christmas card..." put the presents in the Cargo Hold" :lol:

No idea on watermark etc

OUTSTANDING!

Cheers lads 8)

Cheers Mike, your are my inspiration mate. Those Fetts you posted got the ball rolling for me.

Sublevel, thanks mate. You can't beat a compliment from an official Star Wars artist. :mrgreen:

 

[chazb73]

Nice one JC 8)

You know that's something I didn't consider a watermark or something ...

 

[JuniorChubb]

Thanks Chaz

I am pretty sure this thread is private from non-members, but these things do get out. I should have marked it but it would detracted from the final look.

 

[SublevelStudios]

Seriously JC, there is some great skill on show there, I'm impressed.

 

[BadMotivator]

Wow JuniorChubb that's impressive, Illustrator can be a bitch to do stuff like that... kudos
You've inspired me to join the party:

Not Star Wars but when I did this I tried to do it in a Ralph McQuarrie style:

 

[SublevelStudios]

NICE WORK! WOW, there are some major talents here!

This piece reminds me of this film (which will be out soon hopefully!):

Haha! Cool, I've never heard of this before! That's getting posted to Facebook to make me look like I have my finger on the pulse :lol:

Cool, I could not create something like that in PS. I would need to get the basics set up in illustrator first before moving on to Photoshop to adjust the colours and levels etc.
