This comment has been mia somewhere in cyberspace.....until now......
Wow....
Finally finished wrapped Samauri Robo last week. I found it pretty challenging as we'd not really covered unwrawpping and wrapping and texturing till last week and I'm remedial at this stuff...... Anyway this Samrobo is dressed with shingles and glazing from 'The Gerkin' (new contemporary building in London by Sir Norman Foster - worth a squizz). On the real piece of architecture the glazing wraps/ swirls up the torpedo shape (hmm) creating an effect of a (3 piece) suited entity. It is done in triads and diamond shapes much the same as medieval clear lead glazed areas- i.e.pre-flat glass. Fun, sorta.
Really appreciate the opp. for leaning heaps but thank really Sam for her patient tutorlege and Mitch, Ryan, Kate, Graham..... and Julius for showing me the lighting for 'Snake-building' and Stuart who's the fastest 'wrapper' in town. When fashion parades go completely digital he's definitely the man for the gig.
The good thing is my confidence is steadily growing with this stuff.
With gratitude,
namaste,
Annei.
