| | Re: WIP Bark Spirit He seems so angelic with that outline of bark around his face, like a religious carving of Moses with a glowing light around him. Great detail. I will be thrilled to watch your tutorial on carving such a fine face. I hope you are posting the process on our board.

| | Re: WIP Bark Spirit nice job Gary
How big is that piece? much potential for the finished eyes. at this point,
I would make some marks with a lead pecil until I found an expression
that I like, then cut a line with a veiner.
Just a suggestion.....

| | Re: WIP Bark Spirit Gary,
Very beautiful, love the way you left the bark border and used the whole length of the piece, great layout job as well as your carving ability, perfect look. Bill | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
