Pygmalion's statue - manip/art

[amberdreams]

So I was feeling fed up and thought I'd have a play, see if I could turn Jensen to stone...

Full thing

Dunno if it worked exactly but I kind of like it anyway.
It's from one of the pics from that Michael Muller photoshoot.
Now I'm off to make a cheesy potato bake for dinner.

Ta very much, me dear

I *LIKE* it :D
*ahem* There's at least one part of him you could always turn to stone hun ;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Hee!

Dean had a run-in with Medusa. 8-) Or more likely, a weeping angel.

Actually, it looks pretty neat. I've always liked that picture of Jensen. He looks sort of ethereal in the original and even though you've got him marble here, he still looks like he's on loan from the fae.

Very cool.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

he does look very fey in this one, absolutely! Medusa without a mirror, or a basilisk, perhaps...

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's so cool! I love the stone effect, and the eyes are so creepy and atmospheric. Thank you for sharing :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I probably should have spend a bit more time on it but never mind. Glad you like it!

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, that's lovely. I like the eyes -- very creepy.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

The minute you make them blank they look creepy - cool ain't it!

[sw0rdy.livejournal.com]

Even in stone he's utterly gorgeous. Nice job!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I think it could be improved though. :D

[topum.livejournal.com]

Interesting. The head is stone but arms and shoulders look glazed to me.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Mmm I think I should have spend a bit more time on this to be honest. Maybe I'll have a go at more texturing tomorrow! Thanks for the feedback.

[tx-devilorangel.livejournal.com]

It's gorgeous.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[be-my-precious.livejournal.com]

i really like it!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it! :D

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

That is a truly awesome effect. It looks really creepy. Yeah...the blank eyes. Very weeping angel. :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should have given him wings too!

[sillie]

Oooh, pretty! :D I like it. :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Those eyes are creeping me out. Good job!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's amazing how unsettling blank eyes can be, isn't it!

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Especially those eyes, which usually show everything.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly.

[becc-j.livejournal.com]

I think it works really well, the highlights especially and the eyes give it that stone/marble feel. Where can I order one of these?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Mmm get in the queue for orders! Who do we know who can sculpt?

[kalliel]

Wow, this is so cool!!! I think the effect definitely plays; it looks exactly like those sorts of statues!! Neat neat neat. :DD

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you thank you! :D

This is really beautiful, I love the way the light is on his hands and I think it works pretty well. This would make a fantastic sculpture of Jensen - do you fancy learning a new skill? You might just have to take his measurements, hee hee!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I wish I had that talent - wonder what Paul would make of a house full of nude scupltures of Jared and Jensen! LOL!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

You could always cover them up in denim and plaid!

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

the light/highlights on this are fabulous. he looks kind of marble-y. the blank eyes are a great effect.

altho to be honest i'm also interested in the cheesy potato bake.... i mean, potatoes and cheese, there's no bad there.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Marble-y was what I was trying for so yay!!! Cheesy potato bake is one of my fave things - it's just a lower class version of potato dauphinoise . I make a cheese sauce (pint of milk, corn four, butter, grated cheese), slice up the potatoes, sometimes add other veg like carrots and broccoli, pour over the sauce then stick it in the oven for an hour. The trickiest part is getting the sauce without lumps but I think I've mastered that now!
