Hi friends,
First I want to thank you all for your comments about my carvings, to tell you the truth I didn´t expect your answers so soon, so, Thanks Again.
Sneakytiki, thanks for your point about proportion, I did study the real Moai and I used my "eye measuring" to keep his proportions. I did a version of the small ones where the head is almost 2 1/2 times repeated to do his body. Thanks for the comparission with Buda, I think that maybe his expression is a peacefull one, sort of Buda-meditation-expression-like. :P
Hewey, for phrase is GREAT! Couldn´t agree more with it. I thought about "tattooing" his back, thought those Moais aren´t the originally ones "tattooed" those were the ones with hats. But, hey, all is valid in name of art!
GMAN, yeah you´re right about the fingers as Paipo said, but once that the arms were lined I did the wrong angle to do his fingers long, so I decided to go on a more human-like hands design. Do you have a photo of your Moai? I´m curious about it. :wink:
Tahitiki, Thanks for the comment, If you look at it I wanted to do a male anf female Manu Tangata on his back. The one on the left is supposed to look like the and the right one as the boy, one is thicker and the other has subtle lines and eyes.
Well, as I promissed here are the photos of the tools I use. The chisels are 3,5 mm, from there you can have an idea of the rest. The files are the ones used in that particular carving but I have some more, ten more to be precise. They have a "medium" grain. (is that how you call it about files?)
Oh yes, and a Little fellow that was walking in my garden...
He´s 3 cm long and is a Tityus Trivitattus (you know about it because he have three strands on his back) He´s poisonous and can deadly to small creatures.
What makes you know that he´s bad is that little second "tip" on his tail. :o
Hope you like the photos!
Hugs,
Sebas
