What do ya all look like?

O.k. this thread is a number one hit over at "The Clubhouse" sculpting forum. They've turned it into one of the most hilarious thread ever with using photo shop to play with the photos and have a little artistic license. All in good fun!

So this thread bears the same title.

Who's first? Now don't be shy .

P.S. my pic is my avator so I already took my turn!

Re: What do ya all look like?

Hi Marc,

Fused wrote a good explanation a while back...

"When you click on Post Reply and a new window appears, scroll down below the Submit Reply & Preview Post to the next frame
which says Additional Options. Near the center of the box is Attach Files with a Manage Attachments.

Click on Manage Attachments, a new window appears click browse and find the image file on your computer.
Once you find it, click Open and then click upload.

Another option is an Image Host like Photobucket to upload images so you can post them on message boards.

At the bottom left corner of every page here is the POSTING RULES and in it you will see the vB code,
click it and a page will open that explains all the codes that work on this message board,
HTML Codes are turned off on this site."

I use photobucket, as Fused mentioned as an option. I just paste the Url into the text area and it will show up in the post.

For instance: In order to have the photo below show up it needs to have " [IMG] " before and after the URL shown below. If it is done that way, the picture will show up in the post and not just a link to a picture like what is here below.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...n/IMG_3305.jpg

Hey tobias- that's one big sculpture you're working on. Wish we could see who the masked man is though.

I'll try to post one here. This is taken recently with my work "The Descent of Man". This group Exhibition is currently still on.

Re: What do ya all look like?

Come on now we need some more good closeups of ya all.....

That way the good photoshoppers can give us a good laugh.

But seriously, then we all know who it is that's talking in the various threads.
It's a way of getting to know you better....

Merlion- Great pic- like the mysterious lighting and the sculpture too!

Scout- Oh what big eyes you have!

Hi all, not wanting to be left out I thought I would post my ugly mug here! As you see in the first pic things started out looking promising but by the second pic it's all gone wrong :-/. Ahh and the chocolate half of the 2 monsters in the 3rd pic is the female in my life and also my owner Tia!!!

The pic I just posted in the "WINTER" thread isn't really me. My wife said it would pass though!

Re: What do ya all look like?

This photo is from 2000, at work on the statue of Saint Paul for the Cathedral of Saint Paul in, guess what?, Saint Paul, Minnesota. ( also on my website; http://www.glennterryart.com )
Sorry I don't have a humerous photo ( unless you think that in general I look like a goofball ). I do have some real hilarious classics that I took of my wife, but I usually don't find myself on the recieving end of a camera, being the social recluse that I am. Too busy sculpting and playing soccer.

Fused, Araich and I thought you wanted funny pictures. I'll have to find a picture of me that's more serious. Scout

Re: What do ya all look like?

Hey, they don't have to be funny. I personally like the serious ones the most because I can really see the person in their natural setting. But I just know that those that like to have fun will play with those serious ones and maybe add the head to another person's body in a crazy scenario!

Great pics so far everyone~

Interesting . . . not to derail this topic, but I've always thought of Paul as looking more stern than your sculpture. How did you decide on the countenance? It's making me think differently than I have . . .

Re: What do ya all look like?

Chashab-

Saul was a persecutor of Christians and even had a part in stoning Stephen to death until he became a Christian himself and then his name was changed to the Apostle Paul. He then was one of the most zealous and loving apostles. So the countenance really shows his gentle side, although, I would have thought him to have more of a determined fire in his eyes. In any case, it's a wonderful sculpture. Very impressive.

Chashad and Tamara: The expression of Saint Paul does change depending on how it is lit. From underneath, as in the photo, the smile is emphasized. Lit from above as intended, it has a more classic and strong look, with the smile hinted at. The smile is mostly felt through the eyes. It is hard to overemphasize the importance of lighting when placing a sculpture. I brought the wax head to the site and worked on it from a ladder 14 feet above the floor in order to adjust the effects in the light of its setting.
As I meditated at great length on how to depict his expression, I focused on the great zeal and love he had, and dedication to truth, as he would brave going day after day to unfamiliar places, facing getting stoned or thrown out of town, because he wanted to share the message of Christ with which he was on fire. Consider how much love he must have had to persevere in that environment.
Also, as another consideration, churches are often full of stern looking apostles and patriarchs that may not be very welcoming to people. On the other extreme is overly soft looking Jesus faces that lack the strength that he had. Stern has its place, but for me Love is the most compelling.
BTW, I'm thrilled that the discussion of the photo went to my sculpture rather than my face, since that is what really matters.

Re: What do ya all look like?

GlennT, I like the gentle, knowing and confident look he has. I went to a Catholic school and I have seen enough stern faces. Can we see the whole piece in place? Scout

Re: What do ya all look like?

Scout; Here is a scanned photo from a holy card with the statue. Sorry about the quality. I tried submitting another photo here but the file size was too large. The Cathedral is beautiful but the lighting on the piece is not ideal, too dim, so it is difficult to get a good photo. I went in with a professional photographer later for a page in the Guild Sourcebook 17. Because of the height of the piece we could only add lighting from below. I got a good clear picture but the face does not look at all like I intended. The holy card shows the correct angle of light, just not enough of it to illumine all the features.
