Gallery Image This one a day upload sucke if you make a mistake on upload...: A study in greyscales for terrain and lattices, and I'm trying to develop a 'blue spring steel' looking mat texture, and other industrial mats for a future project. This is a Bryce recreation of an actual geared clock I welded together for an art show in Aspen, during my early metal sculpture days. Crits and comments welcome, post'em here cause I forgot to check the boxes when I uploaded....silly me ;P

Looks mighty cool. I love the pitted metal texture. How big was the clock in real life?

Zhann Thought the lattices looked great, textures as well. You can still turn on comments through the EDIT function. I've done it before, and it didn't cost me an upload.

Nice work here Zhann! I do like gears.....! IMHO the texture is a little bit too bumpy ( it seem to be so rusted that it may turn to dust if someone swich on the power). but its only my opinion...

Tjohn, I didn't know you could do that after the fact... GG, the original is about 24 inches across(dia.) and has a multitude of large and small gears on it, some are working, independent of the actual clock movements, I couldn't get all of them on the Bryce one, there are over 125 different gears(less as I scavage for other assembalge works), but I make tackle that later. I still haul around my old welding equipment, Hubby uses it to fix the car. Pidjy, you can never have enough rust and industrial mats, I love things that are antique and aged, so my fascination with deteriorated industrial things...:)

I really like these textures, look quite real, and the modeling is pretty cool as well.

Zhann, I share that same passion for antique works and textures. Love what you did here.

I think my Dad was a major influence on me, he taught me to repair clocks and small appliances, we'd go antiquing together for old furniture to restore and we'd go to the Bethlehem Steel plant and watch them pour molten metal. I am a collector of all things old and weird.....

Nice Zhann. I love those metal textures. Old, rusted and industrial works just fine for me.

ICM, cool clock! How old is it?.... Catlin, I'll see if I can did up a photo, I don't have the clock any more, it was sold at show to a design firm, for a custom house in Billings, Montana...

I know how hard that can be to do. I used to always keep my paintings around me for a few months before I'd put them up for sale, just so I could get over the mother/baby syndrome. 8) Catlin

Nice work Zhann... I was able to leave a comment. You must have edited.... 8) Old stuff is cool.... My dad and I got an old rocking chair and a stationary chair matching set.... for $75 in an antique shop. They have the gargoyles and lions feet on them. Leather upholstry. They were painted black. My dad and I refinished them with a nice orange/rust colored crushed velvet. We stripped the black paint from the wood to reveal a beautiful birdseye maple. They are beautiful chairs. We had them appraised at about $1700 for the set after we were done with them. I will see about getting a couple of pictures sometime for you Zhann.
