LEBRON SCULPTURE

[suppacarz]

aight so this is a sculpture of lebron's head i made in sculpture class. i did it by looking at some pics i downloaded from google, and... ya. it's notperfect, but it was my first project after summer vacation, so i guess i was kinda rusty... hehe. nah i dont wanna make excuses for myself. i think overall idid a good job. id like to hear what nt thinks.... enjoy
these first pics are like "in the making" pics.

this is the finished product. actually if u wanna help me: it's not glazed yet, and i cant decide what color to glaze it. i think this is one of thebest pieces ive made, and id hate to ruin it by using the wrong glaze. so, any of u have any suggestions for what glaze to use thatd be great. or i could stainit..... anyways, suggestions are welcome.

thats tight, i wouldn't have enough patience to do that lol

 

[boredone1]

black i guess
or

ferrari red

i have taken many ceramics classes, i used to hate glazing because the colors are never exact.
i would say to under glaze it then just do a clear glaze over that

 

[airjordanjack]

Thats sick.
Man i dont know what color to glaze that. Maybe a light black or something?

 

[mike2389]

thats an awesome sculpture. post pics of final product

 

[damnneardeadstock]

sick sculpture

use a dark blue glaze, like the color of the cavs alternate unis.

Nice Job man, Thanks for sharing..
One critique though...
Seems to be too much hair...Like the part past his headband has too much...
I think a good portion of that needed to be chopped off, but still a great job..Would love to see you do more...

 

[thekillerj23]

very nice, you should take it to the cavs game and hand it to lebron

 

[jordansequallife]

light brown perhaps

that hair texture is crazy...you do it with a sponge or something?

I'd say do it in a metallic color like pewter, gold or bronze like a HOF bust

nah bout the hair, im actualy kinda proud the way i did it. basically i made HELLA little clay balls, like the size of a pea, and then stuck them onto his headtill it was all covered with them. then i whacked them with this brush thing to get the little holes in it..... i think its pretty effective.....
oh and i did the same for the beard...

 

[washanobotit]

I have taken ceramic classes too. Making faces are pretty hard. Excellent job.
But it looks more like Greg Oden with a headband (Not to hate)

1. the hair and the beard detail is hot. I like that

2. I like the first pic with the missing eye for that "terminator" look, LOL

3. are you from nor cal since you said "hella"??

 

[suppacarz]

yupp nor cal.
palo alto, to be exact....

 

[nocomment6]

Cool stuff I remember spending whole days doin sculptures. Really hard, especially off pics. Nice the head seems a bit too flat. And skulls too big. Nice jobthough!

[kt money]

What I first thought when I saw the pictures^

But seriously, you did a really nice job

 

[4jsihustle]

Really nice job and effort. the only thing off is the head shape. when you look at lebron in a head on pic. the headband is like the top off his head, you dontactually see his head:

so from the side it should've looked more like this (excuse my bad paint job to blend colors):

once again though nice job. i wasnt tryin to knock you or nothin cause i know it took alot of work. and i do art myself, but hate sculting cause its tough andi dont have patience.

When I frist opened the thread and saw that first pic pop up, I was dying

I thought we were about to get yet an other classic thread already for '08

But then I read this...

these first pics are like "in the making" pics.
...and scrolled down to the other pics in disapointment

Great job though on the sculpture. I could never do that! I had a project in art class back in high school, where we started with a 20-25cm high block of driedclay I think, or whatever it was, and we had to chip it into a sculture. As I was chipping away, and making it into something, i kept accidently taking hugechunks out of it, and ruining what I was going for. It started out as a trophy...I ruined that. Then I went for a carrot...and accidently chipped it in half. I ended with a 5cm long sleigh, with a little 2cm chunk I called an ''Eskimo''

I somehow got a passing grade on it too

 

[whitmonster1]

yeah great job... i would never be able to be patient enough to do that
