Hi All!
My name is Andy, from Ireland, long time lurker on this site and decided to join the group properly. I've seen some truly amazing and inspiring stuff on this site over the years, you guys are incredible, here's hoping i can contribute!.
I've been doing prop making/modelmaking on and off for years now, I even completed a college course in Modelmaking for Film and Media here in Dublin,Ireland. All my model making recently is simply personal work, for my day job i work in an animation company in dublin as an Art director on some children's shows for Disney Junior, so all of that is based in the digital world.
I'm looking to expand my physical artistic skills of modelmaking and sculpture, I'm in the process of building a small workshop in my home to ensure i have a dedicated space instead of my spare room.
I thought I'd briefly share some of my previous work here, if thats okay, just a sample.
This was my final project in college, its a design of my own making, the idea is that it would be a life size filming prop for actors to be able to interact with, but would ultimately be replaced by a CG character (this was just the concept and was never actually used in any film)
I have a full 'making of' series for this robot, if anyone is interested i will post?
More recently I have been expanding my sculpting skills, again with characters of my own design.
And finally here is a WIP of a predator sculpture I'm still working on.
Thanks for your time everyone! looking forward to being part of this Community!
Andy
