One eye cyclops.

[Roc]

This was my first and last attempt at sculpting. I posted pictures of this figure a while back, the pictures were horrible, I retook pictures with my new camera and would like to share them with you.
I painted this figure in acrylics using the dry brush technique.

Cheers
Roc.

Pretty nice work my friend . I also am interested in the skull hanging on his neck . I am looking for finding some of them

Roc, I'd bet even Harryhausen had a hard time getting going at first. Don't be too put off, it's not a bad looking figure.(unless it wasn't intended to be a cyclops at first... THEN, you may have a problem!)

Hello Roc,

a nice looking sculpture. If I think about my first sculpted figure, it was not as good as yours.

You wrote it was your first and last attempt in sculping. I hope that doesn`t mean that you won`t sculpt again. I hope to see some others sculpts of you in the future.

Cheers,
Markus

If thats youre first Roc, I strongly insist that you would reconsider it being your last. I think thats a very good first attempt.

Cheers

Great work, Roc! Let's see some more!

 

[Roc]

Chris, thank you.

This is how I made the water :
I - shaped the water with Elmores wood filler.
2 - When dry I painted the water a very dark green.
highlighted with various lighter shades of green .
3- painted the edges of the waterwith different shades of brown,because the water on the edges is more shallow and transparent.
6- when dry I gave it ten coats of acrylic gloss varnish.

Cheers
Roc.

John, I used my mother in law as a model, isn't she pretty? :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Costas, my friend, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

As far as the skull goes, unfortunately, the one hanging on the Cyclops neck is the only one have.

Cheers
Roc.

Hey Jim,

I was trying to sculpt a French Hussar, but low and behold I ended up with a Cyclops, good likeness of my mother-in-law, :lol: :lol:

Cheers
Roc.

Maybe some day I'll try sculpting something else.
