The Scream

[david pickford]

I was looking at the Scream by Edvard Munch- and I thought - that really does lend itself to a rendition as a ' flat' so I did a low relief version in magicsculp. Then I thought, maybe push it one step further and do the whole shebang as a 3d model with false perspective! What could possibly go wrong? This is what I came up with....

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Not much wrong with that!

Colin

 

[Rich Sculpts]

Both superb!

But I'm biased - I love the relief more

Colin,Dirk and Fernando thank you.

Rich, the flat is closer to the original. Edvard himself did several versions in pastels, paints etc so why not magicsculp?

Rob- glad you spotted it- i went to Figureworld just for the morning. Got the flat framed since.

Blind Pew- its not hard to see how you could do various model versions of the 'worlds great art'. How about a few other modern classics like maybe pointillist pictures by Seurat, surrealist pictures by Dali- cubist by Picasso? Marjiin van Gils did Guernica a few years ago...

Sippog, elllie, Pete, SW, maco, thanks..

Kenneth- wow! glad you like it that much!!??!!

 

[ChaosCossack]

Interesting concept... well executed indeed.
The rendering of the false perspective is outstanding... in 3d it's a balance of art and engineering

Beautiful work. Bravo

Colin

Now we are talking...Figure modelling with a whole new meaning!!! Well done.

[david pickford]

thanks colin and xenofon. Normally you could only do the perspective thing in a light box as of course the illusion disappears from any other angle but head on. However, to me anyway, it kind of looks alright from other angles too, perhaps because the perspective emphasises the scream itself.

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Forced perspective would replicate the painting. I like this approach as one can come at it from various angles. Very creative.

Colin

 

[david pickford]

thanks Colin- worth experimenting with this kind of thing...

This got a commended at Euro- happy again. On my FB account its got more shares than anything else I have done- appeals to people other than modellers?
