@TessaW hahaha thank you thank you! This whole community has been the most amazing support.

[Kim Hunter]

Wow! This just blows me away!

[Kristin Dudish]

Holy noodles! This entire thread was AWESOME!!! I loved seeing your process... So, SO cool! (And, I thought it was so fun to see you searching for bits & pieces where your husband works!)

[EliaMurrayArt]

@smoke you can read about the process here.

[smoke]

@EliaMurrayArt really amazing. You must have a lot off patience. Respect.

[natiwata]

Can't say enough how awesome this is! The process, the result, the character design! Bravo, so so good.

[eriberart]

This is amazing work! When I saw it in the april contest thread I couldn't work out how you made it I love everything about this piece!

[kylebeaudette]

This is fantastic! I also make sculptures sometimes and have been trying to put together illustrated 'scenes' like this (and giving up!). This is perfect, well done

[EliaMurrayArt]

@kylebeaudette oh man it was so tough putting it all together!! I essentially threw out my initial composition drawing haha. Keep going though!! It was SO worth it. A very rewarding experience. Post some of your sculptures! I would love to see them.

[EliaMurrayArt]

@eriberart & @natiwata thank you so much! I'm so glad you both enjoyed it

@EliaMurrayArt

Maquettes, mostly. I've made a poseable version of me once, but usually just an immobile statue.

[EliaMurrayArt]

@kylebeaudette these are SO COOL!!!!!! I especially love the fox!!

Well done! You should definitely build some dioramas for them!

[kylebeaudette]

@EliaMurrayArt thanks! Maybe, I have all I need. I started last fall and got bummed when I realized all the learning I'd need to do

Good on you for doing it, cant wait to see more!!

[Zach Roush]

@EliaMurrayArt Can I ask what camera and lense you use? Thanks so much for sharing your process!

[EliaMurrayArt]

@Zach-Roush I used the super fancy camera lens that came with my cell phone haha I wish I had a cooler answer but I am new to this.. I have no camera nor lenses...

[Norman Morana]

@EliaMurrayArt this is fantastic, thank you for sharing this process! It’s so fun to go through and Lisa is so alive in these shots!

It makes me wonder how your March entry would look transformed into a model like this

[EliaMurrayArt]

@Norman-Morana Haha that is so funny you should mention that. Originally I had wanted to do the March contest like this!!! I'd started the puppet and everything but then chickened out.
