Suggestions plz

Sat Dec 13, 2008, 4:45 PM
I want to make a painting/picture/art-thingy about Ocean Cloud, a song by Marillion about Don Allum crossing the atlantic in a small canoe.
The general Idea:
We see the whole thing from sea level, looking up at the side of the boat and Don, his face is bruised, swollen, big cut above his left eye, having a short beard a mustache. torn, soaked clothes, etc. It's been really rough. his right arm (on our side) is in the air, his elbow at about the same height as his shoulder. he's holding the radio, he just ripped it out of the boat, wires and screws still flying mid-air. The scene is frozen in the action. Don looks at the place where the radio was, his face in a sort of agony/rage. He's had it.

"Ripping out the radio..
I want to be alone!"

Now, I wanted to paint it. But, first; I know I'm not going to finish it because I don't have the patience. and second; I want to experiment new techniques and stuff.

So, any suggestions? Photography doesn't seem to be an option =p

If you want to try stuff out... maybe... a... sculpture! :P

yeah well I'd rather not jump in a canoe and row my way half way the atlantic to make a shot =p
:iconwormthingy:
Haha, I actually have thought about it, but I think I'll start sculpting small stuff first if anything. =p
:iconthe-error404:
Well, do show when you make your first one!

I thought about it a while back too, but i got kinda lost about the best material to do so... dunno if it's clay or what... :P

:iconwormthingy:
Will certainly do!

There's been a series (read:2) of journals over at :icontrev-solo: on sculpting with wax. bit too expensive for me to just try it out for fun though...
:iconthe-error404:
Well... let's just say that anything expensive is out of my menu... :roll:

you could always sculpt with sand in the playground

Realism man, realism.
It's all about the result... at least you'll get famous.
(Not specifying what kind of fame... :P)
