My Big Daddy (BIOSHOCK) sculpture

[RandomCTG]

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

Please tell me what you think of it

Thank you

[Rare Addict]

Heh, not half bad, actually. Thanks for sharin'. ;)

[RandomCTG]

Im glad I can share with you guys this because I think this is the best sculpture Ive done thus far

[MushroomBoy]

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.

[RandomCTG]

Hey it's alright :) I know what you mean, and hey, Im actually new to sculpting, so yeah :D

[kglaser]

I think it looks really amazing! Great job :)

Way better than the popsicle I sculpted back in art class in '84. :p

[RandomCTG]

haha :)

This isnt actually my first sculpture....my first ever was a master Chief action figure

but that doesnt belong in the forum lol

[BioShock Freak]

WOW! I really like it! :D
It's VERY creative and looks JUST like a Big Daddy. Looks great. :)
~Mari.

[Squizzlor]

Im surprised you got so much detail in:eek:

Nice work:D

[coffee009]

Thats really good, i likey it, just needs the back part and the bars in front his face and t will be perfect.

[501105]

Looks very good

[br_yocum]

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

[smartalec5595]

looks great man but the eyes dont stick out as much

:D :D :D :D

[RandomCTG]

Yeah, I mean the back part wont be a problem...ill just glue it on when its all fired up and painted, but the bars if going to be a problem for me...I mean I dont think I can make it out of clay....

Thanks for the great comments :)

[smartalec5595]

weild small bars and cover them in clay(just an idea)

:D :D :D :D

[RandomCTG]

:D :D :D :D

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

[smartalec5595]

hmmmmmmmmmmm.....make a little sister hypo thingie for a halloween costume

:D :D :D :D

[RandomCTG]

hmmmmmmmmmmm.....make a little sister hypo thingie for a halloween costume

:D :D :D

Now that'd be something :)

[smartalec5595]

yea...ima go as a cardboard big daddy n ima put my 2 year old sis ina lil sister costume n give her a needle thingy

[Dr. Locke]

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

«d‹◊›я»

[asmcheese]

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

[RandomCTG]

I just got the thing fired up. Now all that I need to do is paint it....what do you think so far?
Well 2k, is this good enough?

[RandomCTG]

bump.....new pics up

[GreeseDog101]

woah, it looks great so far :D . I can't wait to see the finished model with the paint :D

[BioSoldier]

Looking great, keep up the awesome work.

[BioShock Freak]

Wow! It's coming out great!!! :D
~Mari.

[RandomCTG]

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?]

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?

[el aedrian]

[Bioshock Lover]

[RandomCTG]

you mean anymore BIOSHOCK characters....no and if not, then its also a no because my graduating high school in just a few days...no more Sculpture class, so no more sculptures...

[BioShock Freak]

Awww. That sucks. Would be nice to have more characters. You'd have your very own Bioshock action figures. :D
Wish I could do that too.
~Mari.

[Blue Lightning]

Anyway thanks
