Your Workspace...what's it look like?

[mikala1]

Hey there
I was just curious as to what other peoples workspace looked like.
Chaos,ordered chaos, or neat and tidy? Do you surround yourself with inspiration or just reference?
Here is my area. Still under construction after just moving into a new place.
Sadly it probably won't change chaos wise......
I do mostly computer/3D graphics so not much in the way of sculpting tools lying about.
That will slowly change as I find space.
Hopefully a few of you will join in here.

Like a bomb just went off

Yup that was shortly after the move....not much changed since

Can you say "TRASHED", but that's why it's a work area!
You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet!

My work space is any area of the apartment I can use at that given time. Pretty much every room at different times.

OK, I've been inside the workshops/houses of three different full-time costume makers in my life. Two look like the bomb went off (as mentioned earlier) and one is so immaculate they make everyone take their shoes off when you come in the door.

 

[mikala1]

See I pretty much promised I'd stay in one room once we moved or I'd be all over the place too.
Once I have the doors of the closet and set up some shelving I'll put my ref library in there. Along with a few more collectibles I have not been able to take out of the boxes yet.

I have a spare bedroom that is otherwise known as Claustrophobia City.... half is boxes of stuff and half is completed costumes and whatever is in progress...

was working on Klingon costume here

AVP bio here

for smelly/messy stuff like painting, gluing or foaming I have a 5' table outside in the side yard for daylight hours...

Foaming backpack here

at night I am relegated to the garage, specifically the top of the washing machine, gluing or foaming only, no spraypainting

its just drying, honest!

Mines an absolute mess as well. I spent nearly a week cleaning out one of our sheds, removing all the crap and moving in some shelves and things and my costuming stuff. I had it all to myself for about 2 days then my mum decided to start moving some of her stuff in.
So here's the pred shed as it is now

All the stuff against the back wall is mums

*Ra-Ra* (has signed up for an account here but I don't tink she has activated it yet) sculpting some feet
Not the greatest but it's better than the kitchen

Note to self..A bird cage is needed in my workspace!
Am I wrong or is the sculptor sculpting over tall zip up boots?
Great idea for a personalized costume. Guaranteed fit!

Haha thats one of the cages I use for transporting birds when I buy or sell them or for quarantine, hanging it on the wall just saved space and the artists dummy is in there because it wouldn't fit on the shelf. I do like the way it look though
Yeah she's scupting over the boots that I'm going to be wearing with my suit, there are 5" lifts on them so doing it this way I know they'll fit over them without looking funny and using the long boots makes them more stable and easier to walk in with the lifts

See that is part of why I really like this forum....The sick humor

 

[crawjaw]

This is my working space. Not very big but has a good view when I get pissed off model making. Shame the weather is usually *****.

Book on Predator anatomy?

 

[tommynator1024]

while I was living in my parents' neighborhood, I was working in their basement. They were pretty cool with it, only the occasional bitching about the fumes (whole building basement was reeking to high heaven...). Lucky that none of the other tenants complained, though. Try getting the smell of a week's working on liquid resin out of a basement room with two small windows.... the caulking silicone wasn't bad either. As was the construction foam...

Oh boy. ;-)

Can't do that anymore, don't have the space currently to work on anything.


crawjaw, that's *quite* the view you got there... congrats

haha! I'm as stone as you are I'd like to have that book.

I dare not to post pictures, I ran out of space a long time ago, caos is nowhere near a description, it's like a mine field, gotta be carefull what you step on, haha!
It takes serious skills to manouver in there.
