z-Carver Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'd like to ask everyone here a quick question. Most of you know I'm a sculptor by trade; what most of you don't know is that I'm often not cognizant of what the completed statue is going to look like until it's done. I basically knock away the pieces that "don't belong" until all the "wrong" pieces are gone. Which means that while I may know that I'm sculpting a man, I may not know that it's Machina until it's complete.Should this happen, and I create an image in your likeness, what would you like me to do with it? I'll record the responses, and follow your instructions should it happen.I don't do this out of a "cover my ass" legal reason, but because I remember my feelings the first time I found "fan art" of myself on the OpNet. And there was nothing I could do about it. So I'll do what I can to make sure that I never cause that feeling in anyone, even inadvertantly.

Warren Verona Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Heh. Thanks for the thought Sugarlips, but I doubt I have to worry about this. Like you'd end up with a sculpture of me.However, should ya... keep it.As I recall...I owe ya one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Since you're actually asking in advance? If you, for some strange reason, end up with something that looks like me, I'd like to see it. I probably wouldn't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I would like to see it and if I approved, I would like to purchase it ... since you have asked in advance. I am leery of graven images of novas and how they can be misused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Anne Burgess Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Given that explanation of your creative method, I wouldn't be furious like the previous situation. My mom's an artist, so I can understand that the finished product doesn't necssarily match initial expecations, if one had any.However, much of what Preston said I agree with. I'd like to know and see the piece and we can work out it's disposition from there. ThanksLou Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugin Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 You may keep it. I'd simply be sorry that you'd wasted your remarkable talent on one as unassuming as I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it does. And here's what I know about Revenant: I want him to leave me and my boyfriend and my art alone. I don't think it's too much to ask, as I live in another city, and I was kind enough to help him with your bar despite our history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Actually, doll, I was referring to your use of my name. You and I don't know each other, so please... Don't assume I have nothing better to do with my time than babysit an adult more than capable of handling his own affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hell, I'd be kind of touched. I'm just a ground-pounding toyz-boy. I've got kick-ass action figures but a real statue is kind of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Should you get a statue that looks anything like me, I would be rather surprised.But if it happens, I will be inclined to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Nova Madigan Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 As long as it is accurate, you can make all the sculptures of me that you'd like.(Mithril says "me too, as long as it's cute," as well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machina Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Well, hopefully it's nude and anatomically correct (or, you know, exaggerated, I won't complain). That being the case, you have my blessing to lube up and enjoy yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-Carver Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Don't let Machina's "colorful" statement stop you guys - come on, give me feedback! I know that there are more of you out there, and that more of you actually care about this than have spoken up.Good Alice, I'm particularly interested in your point of view. Also, we should discuss our artistic methods sometime - I love talking about how others do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be looking at... three weeks before it would be done? That's just based on my estimates of what I'm already working on or have already agreed to do. But we can meet and discuss some things before then, like do you want me to work from a picture or live? The latter is preferred, but may be tedious for a small child. What dimensions were you looking at? What medium?Hmm, maybe you should contact me privately about this. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
