Hi, Im CTG iRandom on XBL, known as RandomCTG at other sites, typically gaming, that I visit.
In the real world, my name is Bernard. I live in San Bernardino, California, and I am a senior attending Redlands High School.
Anyway, Im here to show you my recent sculpture from my Ceramics Sculpture class...
Its the Big Daddy from the award-winner BIOSHOCK.
And also please keep in mind that I'm still very much working on it, trying to put as many details as I can into it to make it look more complex and similar to the one in the game, or images you see lying afloat on the web.
So with that said, I present you Big Daddy!

I was motivated to do this sculpture after seeing the sculpture from this place called thecultofrapture or something like that, so Ive decided to make one myself

Heh, not half bad, actually.

yea~! ill be honest, when i read the title, i rolled my eyes and thought "it'll prolly look bad, i've seen this kinda thing before.

but thank god, i was surprised. it looks really cool! it almost looks like a cartooney version of the big daddy, but it still has that toughness factor? i dunno how to explain.

awesome. i can dig it. ALSO, it looks like chocolate...........so it gets, like, 30 bonus points.

or foils...or those plastic, bendable metal thingy?

" looks good, but u should impress all of us and make a lil sister to sit on his shoulder lol"

Yeah Ive been debating whether or not to make one...maybe I will considering the fact that many people that have seen this wants to see the little sister as well....it all depends if I have the time

Dude thats cool! I need to learn how to sculpt, I am good at pencil drawing but sculpting is not one of my hot spots. It would be so cool to see that on my mantle!:D

Good job. You put a lot of detail into this piece of art, it must have taken your for ever to sculpt.

Finally, I can rest at last. This sculpture won a 1st award at the art show held at my school, so I'm proud :)

Would You Kindly?
05-31-2008, 08:04 AM
Man your the best! Although personally I would paint it a bit more, your familiar with miniature model paint? There is this stuff called ink-wash you can use over the metelic parts I would suggest black and then drybrush the whole model witht the metalic colours mixed with a little white.

Your planning to make more stuff?
