I'm glad the piece resonated with you. <BR/><BR/>One of the plans for this piece was to have the sky covered in scudding clouds, to fill up the space, but I ended up feeling satisfied with the 'stark' sky as it is.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-41211490277499577092008-05-29T05:35:00.000-04:002008-05-29T05:35:00.000-04:00Hey Craig, please steal my thunder!

The scientists have Friday to blog about peer-reviewed research, so us artsy types could swarm the joint on Mondays with jaw-dropping visuals. <BR/><BR/>In any case, my point about the quality of your work is that ILM has a legion of people perfecting Threepio's shininess; you're one guy doing very impressive work.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-59039910843419190252008-05-29T00:04:00.000-04:002008-05-29T00:04:00.000-04:00Stark and beautiful.

I like your emaciated depiction of Mother Mars, which is a pretty accurate symbolism of the situation on Mars now.<BR/><BR/>Still I am hopeful that the Phoenix lander will at least discover the remains of simple prokaryotes that could have once thrived on Mars.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I agree with your take on Giger. His shocking, inimitable amalgamation of the carnally biological and brutally mechanical will remain in the public consciousness for a long long time.The Key Questionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05426898630563791849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-26355399853745389882008-05-28T08:54:00.000-04:002008-05-28T08:54:00.000-04:00You're too kind.

That's why it is unspecified time interval. <BR/><BR/>Just to keep people on their toes I put up another pic of the Trilobite today...<BR/><BR/>That and I'm sitting on a huge back log of my 3D tinkerings for projects that were and will never be made sadly. If I put only one up a week than I'd be doing it for decades (at the same time I probably dont have enough for one a day for more than a year or two so hence the inbetween measure)Prehistoric Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087955300983778977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-40022312270370533212008-05-27T23:14:00.000-04:002008-05-27T23:14:00.000-04:00Hey Zach, yeah Giger has that effect on the brain ...Hey Zach, yeah Giger has that effect on the brain doesn't he? He did have a lot of gruesome red landscapes with babies at one point, didn't he? <BR/><BR/>Giger remains one of the masters that I suspect will be long remembered after people forget post-modern art. <BR/><BR/>Mother Mars is about 11 years old now, and I was happy with the degree of finish I achieved, using a fan brush to make it appear almost airbrush-like. But for a long time it was the unfinished ugly painting I kept in a closet.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-40919410021891772042008-05-27T23:11:00.000-04:002008-05-27T23:11:00.000-04:00Wow Craig, you've been busy!

Your stuff is pretty amazing, I mean doesn't that type of work usually take at least half of ILM to produce? <BR/><BR/>I love the idea of a Burgess Shale story in the vein of Finding Nemo. <BR/><BR/>I'll be stopping by a lot more often...like maybe...Mondays? :-)<BR/><BR/>Glad you got the face reference. I suspect there may be some similarities between your teen years and mine; although I was a bit more pagan-ish than "X-Files" back then.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-5419229070679074342008-05-27T23:08:00.000-04:002008-05-27T23:08:00.000-04:00Hi Traumador!

Giger, but that could be because I just saw and almost bought a book of Giger's work at B&N, so I kind of have Giger on the brain today.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692080707969333711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-197781360658956712008-05-27T08:46:00.000-04:002008-05-27T08:46:00.000-04:00I agree with the Tyrannosaur.

Wait did I just say that?<BR/><BR/>I agree in that the use of the Martian face was quite cool, and I picked it up right away before your great commentary. Takes me back to my paranormal obsessed teen years.<BR/><BR/>We started up a new feature on the Prehistoric Insanity blog inspired by your Monday art posts. So though it may seem familiar we give credit where the credit is due yo. <BR/><BR/>You "might" also approve of the content of the first installment. eTrilobite's Walcott's Quarry reminded me of an old abandoned project of my own so I thought I'd throw what little of it got made up on the web for all to enjoy (or more likely point fun at)<BR/><BR/>Loving the artwork.
