Guh, sorry guys. Been in the ceramics studio for about 14 hours straight for the past three days. No time to talk, but here's some cool progress pics of work from that class. High fire clay - currently drying and still needs proper carving.

Passing out for the next few hours, and back to work on illustration homework.

Omg, charlie... The amount of detail is amazing! I wish I could zoom in and see all the details you put in even closer! You are so talented!

awesome it is! Looks like your course is really giving your a broad repertoire of art skills, and you seem to be taking to everything so easily

Sorry, I was exhausted when I typed that. What I meant to say was that I've been in the ceramics studio for 12-14 hours for the past three days each. Overall, I've been working on this thing for about a week - these past several days being the longest though.

It is as large as it seems; about 20 pounds worth of clay at about a foot tall. For the project, we need to incorporate a non-clay material once the sculpture is fired. I'll be using dry ice and leds for mine to make light and fog bleed throughout the figure and axe since everything is carved hollow with various slits and holes placed all over.

Once it's done, I'll be holding onto this sculpture since I wanted to make something I could actually keep and not just trash or give away immediately after a critique.

Really hectic over here - so many due dates for projects are coming up and there's little to no free time to do it all. Also prepping the "Citadel" picture for presentation at the Uni art museum - possible chance to get a lot of money for tuition and supplies. Also debating on submitting something to the upcoming California State Fair show.

UGH, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TIME IN A DAY, BALRGHAQRGH.

Ah it seemed even bigger to me - I hope you have a large room to keep it in :P

Eh, trying to. Trying to do all this homework during such short weekends isn't helping the rest & recovery in between these weeks, lol.

Sketch for AJ's thread over on the other forum. Iron clocking some poor creature hard enough that his head came off.

Is everyone going to the gw2 forums?

It's not as cool as it is here.

Not really, I find the GW2 forums pretty boring and unresponsive. Really the first time I've actively posted there in a number of months. Since I filled my bi-monthly posting quota, I'll probably disappear from that forum again for another number of months.

I like you guys far more than majority of the folks on the GW2 forum.

Thistle Xandra · Apr 18, 2011, 10:37 PM // 22:37

ooh cool splatter! This reminds me of one of my fave dA artists who paints with coffee so he has cool looking splatters and colors like that.

Hailfall · Apr 19, 2011, 08:00 AM // 08:00

Oh that looks nice Charlie! and that Statue is looking great oO

Ravenhawk · Apr 19, 2011, 11:40 AM // 11:40

Love both updates Charliepai. Second one makes me think the warrior was screaming "BOOM! HEADSHOT"

And --> *hasn't been in GW2 forums in like forever*

Aeronwen · Apr 19, 2011, 07:42 PM // 19:42

I love that picture Charlie, particularly the armour and the hair. For some reason the hair made me me think of John Walsh Anglund's illustrations for the golden treasury of poetry ^^
