  • Nice job Mike. How long did it take you to model this? Also, if its not too much trouble, can you include a view that is on an angle so we can see the depth of the model.

    PS: how did you and your son make out with my video? If you need some help with it let me know.

    Thanks Barry

    #3 BEAGLE

    I try to keep the pieces under 90 minutes some take a hour some a bit more It depends on how much detail I want to add .These models are meant to be fun and a learning practice exercise .

    this Beagle took 50 minutes. if I had spent the same tine as the last it would have been another 30 minutes 

    the total thickness I want is  under 1.75 mm this one is 1.5 mm thick 20 mm in diameter .If I do then in silver i make them a bit thicker .

    My son thank goodness showed me your  technique and It works  very well indeed.Thank you again

    I am glad to hear that the technique shown in the video is working for you.

  • I redid the Beagle trying a new method  I saw online this morning ..slight improvement on the rendering but not sure if the cut model improves.. but the rendering looks better.

  • I like the first beagle better, it has more character. What is the difference between the two techniques?

    I would like to point out that it is evident that you lost some edge detail. That can be seen at the mouth and neck of the dog. Also the lower eye. This could be fixed in PS as I detailed in my video. You would use the dodge tool to raise these areas above the Z=0 boundary.

    Not criticizing your fine work here, just offering a way to accommodate the shallow areas in this process.

    Thank you Barry I appreciate your input  and willingness  to help as always .

    I agree this first Beagle was much better

    The first was using your Ps  method.. its the best I have experimented with so far. 

    This image I experimented with the emboss tool . I like both methods they produce excellent models .

    I challenged myself with 30 days of sculpting and I don't want to bore anyone here with my challenge so this is my last image  until the 30 days are up .

    #4 basset hound (They are all starting to look alike to me ) see you here later cheers

  • Nicely done Mike, a much more challenging angle of view than the profile or 3/4 profile on the previous dog models. Congratulations on the work you are doing.
