Frank, as a horse person, the ears seem too small to me and the ridges in the face a little too prominent. Can't wait to see it transformed into metal. Lin

Ridges = Rebar

Frank Castiglione - Tuesday, September 29, 2009 - 11:43am

Hi Lin,
You are absolutely correct. What I did was try to accentuate any obvious lines to guide myself where to make my re-bar pieces.I'll make those ears mo bigga too thanks.

Oh now I get what you mean

Oh now I get what you mean for lines. Cool way of doing it and you are good with the clay.
See I cheat to save time, I go to Michael's and they have hard rubber animals and things made by Safari and really great detail. Don't tell anybody okay? Only cost $5 and then you can give them any to some kids.

No Batteries

Frank Castiglione - Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 2:27pm

Hi Warren,
I think it was Michael's where I got the clay.I don't have any fancy programs but the clay seems to work really well for me, no batteries or blue screens either.

Hi Frank, nice looking horse, I agree with Lin about the ears, but other than that is looks great. It has a really intense feel to it. I'm anxious to see what comes from it.

Plastic Medium

Frank Castiglione - Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 2:35pm

Hi Jake,
You sure can add drama with a plastic medium. A push here and a tug there and wallah!I can add new ears and turn his head, open his mouth.... I love clay.Emphasizing the strong lines ends up making the model more of a characature.

He looks good, I like the nostrils. Prick the ears forward instead of to the side. Can't wait!!!

Hi Mele,
I finally got started today on the rebar version.I hope I do justice to such a beautiful creature.I'll just tack those ears on,when I get that far, 'cause I'll probably get them wrong.

I like the fierceness of the animal. I like where it's going, and can't wait to see it finished.

Doing Battle

Frank Castiglione - Saturday, October 3, 2009 - 8:57pm

Hi Bill,
Hey, what have ya'll been up to? I'm pretty sure I need to just make a horse head first, as this animal is very new for me. However, my ultimate goal is to create a horse that is doing battle. Maybe I'm already going there subconsciously. What I do know is that my wife wants our bathroom remodeled RIGHT NOW, so this project is out to pasture for just a bit.

Yours too

Frank that is funny because mine is after me to do ours, she has been putting paint colors up all day trying to decide which paint I am to use.
Yep things on hold a couple of days at least. Just a minor freshen up.

Wild Bill Campbell - Sunday, October 4, 2009 - 11:35am

Ha!! I'm also stuck doing home repairs. I hope to keep the cold out this winter. I have so many things I could be working on, i just end up starting what ever moves me at the moment. All the big stuff i seem to keep putting off and just knock out the little things I can do in a day or two.
