Fantastic work, well done & thanks for going to such lengths documenting the whole process and sharing it with us. You must be very proud of the final product, so much work, so much attention to detail, even the base with the brick work, and the lettering would have been time consuming and a little nerve wracking - one slip, all it takes, don't... make... one... F! I can fix, I can fix :')
For a laugh, here's what Google image search thought of your work.
Lol awesome comment. Yes the brick work more than anything else was truly a horror to do... Sculpting each one uniquely and then the painting and weathering effects... nightmares man haha. Letters also brought challenges due to scale mainly 🔬😎
It paid off, in droves.
Great work, you're an artisan and I look forward to seeing what you do next. Chance of disclosing identities of upcoming works?
I reckon you'd do a great Heeeeere's JOHNNY!!! wall plaque lol ;)
Ah, I shall show my Danny Torrance statue next :) Thanks for the inspiration.
I absolutely want to do the whole The Shining cast. Even Lloyd haha. I have plans in Oct. leading up to Halloween for a 'Shining' project.
I've actually put my statuemaking on hold to focus on 2D character art and tshirt designing. Here's some identities you might know which I've done:
Alabama Worley
King Conan
Thomas vs. Mondale's Henchman
Alex Wagner
Few more Bruce Lee's (The Big Boss, Game of Death and Enter the Dragon).
This is a not-to-miss channel, I am looking forward to so much.
Yes Lloyd is a marvelous & enigmatic character and there's an opportunity to pose he and Danny in such a way that if put opposite appear to be 'shining'.
BTW: 'that' carpet has turned up in a few places around the globe, I've seen it myself a few times here and there, I think some designers have a twisted sense of pop-reference-humour, others probably just think it's retro-chic.
You've given me a lot to look forward to, I better everyone feels the same way about your Halloween efforts each year.
I love that carpet. I've seen the pattern on a guy's Instagram page made into everything from bowties to bedsheets haha. I can understand his artistic sense to do that because the shining world that Stanley Kubrick has given visual life to has seeped into his soul just as it has mine. There were days when I was putting together my theory that Jack Torrance wasn't actually the caretaker, that all I did was eat, sleep and then analyze the film and theorize. I was stuck in that world for days lol.
Anyhow, October can't come soon enough. I'm dying to get started hehe :)
