copy a master

Thursday, 20. March 2008, 14:29:12

Today i tried to copy the style of a very gifted cg artist, Steve Stahlberg. i recently found his work over my opera, at the photo blog of namevgo, he is a user added as my friend. The way stahlberg is painting in Photoshop is very impressive to me, detailed and photorealistic with a touch of sci-fi surrealism. i spend 4 hours to copy his foreground character. now i am exhausted but quite satisfied with my reproduction, altough some of his shading and texturing techniques are not 100 % clear to me. Also my figure is not as dynamic as his but i was copying without having his original underneath my sketch, so it was good training for my eye i guess.
See the result below, left: Steven Stahlbergs original, right my copy.

hello world!

why do some people not follow the mainstream? are they more courageous and selfconfident and is it their will to be different and to be on stage everyday? is it always an outstanding personality that is connected to the phenomenon? is it exhibitionism that keeps you hunting for publicity? i really wonder.
here on opera community one can examine what people like to disclose. ok its virtual, and maybe a man is a woman here, or a looser a king, but its a stage for actors as well. in some cases tragic, inspiring, funny.. its therapy sometimes. i like to dedicate this blog to all individuals, that are truely independend, at least for 5 mins a day. thats good enough i think!

here is an example of a guy that it popular among the frankfurter people. for some he is a musician, for some he is a sickness and for me he is a symbol of freedom and lonliness. 101-0120_MVI.AVI Kopie
