Artist's Comments

Here's a little something for all the time I need to make up :aww: :heart:

I made this last semester for my 3-D class. Project: modular. We had a choice of what the sculpture could actualy be, so I thought it would be cool to make a phoenix entirely out of matches! Pretty cool, eh?

Time taken: just about 7hr. using a hot glue gun.
Match count:????? definately over 1000.

I took a million and one pictures of it because I was going to burn it. Yes. BURN IT! But too many people begged me not to, so I'm making a duplicate to burn. This was the best slide taken, since we're doing another project for Foundations class with our portfolio. XD
Easy come easy go.

P.S. FULL VIEW!

P.S.S.: Here are some close up shots: [link]

P.S.S.S. : Here's a part of my Ortographic Projection Sketches as well, in case you wanted to see some of it's progression: [link]

EDIT!!!

Oh My Fucking God!!! :faint:
I got on today and suddenly saw I have so many new favs and messages on this and kinda stopped breathing for a sec... and OH MY GOD, I got a DD!!! I don't know if I should cry or dance!! 8D ....actually... I'm doing both right now XDD; :boogie: :dance: :happycry: Thank you soooooo much ~Sid1120 ! I knew you loved this piece so much, I really owe you so so so much :happycry: And thanks so much to ^guruubii for featuring it! ;__; Thank you everyone! Thanks so much!!! =D

:D Yay, you have made me very happy. Take lots of pictures of the burning one (or do it at school...I'm a pyromaniac. XD)

But yes, I love it to pieces, and you know that already.

Not a problem :boogie:, i'm browseing the rest of your gallery now, your certainly a deviant of many talents :D
But seriously, i think this should be a daily deviation, cause unlike the usual DD's, its actually good =P
