Description
The origional forged steel sculpture.
The Carrara model was done from memory so was never meant to be an exact copy

but now I have found a photo I thought I would share.
I was not sure which gallery to put this in. 3D Modeling seemed appropriate.

Very nice work...
It reminds me a bit of that flower that looks like an elephant with trunk as well as a saber in a scabbard on a belt. So I had to leave my comic comment out. All right you twisted my arm. It should be in genital piercing of armored chastity belts.
I like it very nice colors 5+
Wonderful design Tom! 5+
Awesome sculpture - that's taking 3D modelling to the extreme!
looks like a hippy was on acid when he made that - remind you of anyone Tom ? ;-) nice use of colours though - done in photoshop or gimp?
Glad you shared with us Tom, this is outstanding
So sweet. 5+.
Is this a real existing object or? Just curious as to the source of your previous render model and what this represents- certainly an interesting structure.
You captured the essence, I can understand your inspiration!!
wonderful model, I like the colors and it does look like a flower to me :)
Hi Jeff You asked about the sculpture. The origional was forged in steel by myself as a college final project in 1990. The render used a model I created in Carrara from memory (mostly in the spline modeler). I hope that makes it clearer,
awesome!
Oh you posted it!! :-D I was SO curious to see what the piece that inspired the model looked like! The real thing is much better than the model to be sure. i have to agree with Cimaira, it does look like some great floral beauty that has yet to be discovered. The bolts at the bottom are even cool, lol. Wonderful.
Cool work!
I am so impressed. This is fantastic and I love the texturing. You are full of surprises. Bravo!
Nice piece of work. I like the way the central upright passes through the red section.
Nice one, mate. Love those textures.
COOL !!!!!!!! Cheers, Roger
