If we had a larger basement, and I didn't have deadlines, be sure that I would do a model railroad-style (minus the RR) Mouse Guard city with almost every location cut awayDPetersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313044038296524139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-9318531974103610372009-12-10T09:24:51.779-05:002009-12-10T09:24:51.779-05:00I love how unconventional you are with your art wo...I love how unconventional you are with your art work. It seems like the actual drawing and coloring of your book is such a small part of what you do. <br /><br />I imagine your workspace as being some sort of cobbled together city made of paper models and random puppetry. <br /><br />Just wanted to let you know that every post you do on this blog is greatly appreciated and I'm very excited to see the finished product of all your hard work.levithepiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008267520405502063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-83657000602730534872009-12-09T19:12:41.109-05:002009-12-09T19:12:41.109-05:00Sam- Glad you like it.

One of the real benifits I see to this kind of model making, over traditional perspective, is when you will need to redraw the setting over and over again from different angles. In this case, I only needed it once (although I photographed 2 angles to see which I liked better)<br /><br />Jacob- I like building things anyhow, so any excuse to build a papermodel just means I get to play for work. I have heard good things about the Google sketchup, but I really like the hands-on paperbuilding approach. It also allows me to add some hand drawn details in the model.<br /><br />Wayne- I hadn't heard about that, but you are right, not only do I see it now, but I looked online to find the hubub about the design similarities. I had started on a drawing with the photo being used as strong reference, but I realized that with the heads and the shape of the arches and stacks it was always going to BE Trinity college library, so I moved on to the model.DPetersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313044038296524139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-60526156513714976792009-12-09T05:03:50.525-05:002009-12-09T05:03:50.525-05:00I'm pretty sure that's the same library th...I'm pretty sure that's the same library that the Jedi Temple Library was based on. I seem to recall they tried to sue Lucas film because of it. Not sure how that turned out.<br /><br />WayneScarecrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578596651133889962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-83502225147519273382009-12-08T10:58:31.918-05:002009-12-08T10:58:31.918-05:00David,

It is an easy modeling program available for free. Though I am hesitant to recommend this because I think there is some inherent aesthetic value in physical creation that doesn’t get translated with the computer.<br /><br />-JacobJacob Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695191264051332564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-60243415613046238982009-12-08T10:47:48.739-05:002009-12-08T10:47:48.739-05:00That's an incredible perspective technique Dav...That's an incredible perspective technique David.
