JenLand

He’s baaaack! Yay! And Blue Man is sporting some dapper walking shorts and a nice hat! Looking like a regular tourist now. Who are little folks trundling about? The Locals?
syd baker replied

Blue Man doesn’t like pants, but he LOVES pockets! Locals will show him the way…

Incredible work Syd!! I think you have also this valley of the Laughing Gods?

Thank you Thomas!! Inside of my head looks just like this!

Lol so seldom if ever do we see these gods laughing – about time we had a valley named for them! Good ole blue man he’s enjoying himself.
syd baker replied

Thank you RAR, yes he has fun, and a very versatile fellow he is indeed!
Carolyn Staut

You have such a wonderful sense of playfullness with your artistry. This one is grand!
syd baker replied

Thanks Carolyn, truth is, I laughed most of the time once these started coming together, one might have thought me a bit mad!
Solomon Walker

great creativity, Syd, and magical in humor!
syd baker replied

Very imaginative work- interesting and well done portfolio- love the vw van one and the christmas card as well!
syd baker replied

Thank you Christine, have some ideas that use more architecture, but I must practice more!

Very cool work on the statues…. Bet this took you a while to render…. Can see the mischief going pn with the ‘little dudes’

Great Job!
syd baker replied

Thanks my friend, on the big machine it took 8 hours! The heads were the big experiment, terrain objects have those cool erosion options, so I tried out booleans in Vue for the first time for the Crack! Finally found a cool rock texture with bump, and enlarged it for weathering!
Shanina Conway

Wonderful Syd, glad to see they’re allowing him a bit of freedom and he hasn’t ended up in the cooking pot;)
syd baker replied

Actually they’re sneaking up on him as we speak…
zooreka

Sounds like a cool idea that…. AM playing with Carrara at the moment and would like to see what I can do with impored alphas later on – looks like a heckuva lot! for now though I modeled a wineglass with the spline modeler – not sure if you can import image planes or not but still playing…. bought my Poserbabe back in and played with terrain and rendering options…. rendering it now but I think the skin textureing looks amazing on the babe in this one. Carrara (surprise,surprise) has not crashed on me either – looks like I will be buying 7!
syd baker replied

Good deal! Once I get caught up on domestic house chores, I plan to investigate as well. Need a space module for Blue Man, and have some homemade starfields to mess with!

syd baker replied

It’s fun to pretend being Blue Man’s baggage handler, when I think he’s really me lacquered up!

Blue Man dreams all the time!

Firedrake

Amazing! Reminds me of a game I used to love – Monkey Island. I’m pretty sure there was a big stone head in the game somewhere :)
syd baker replied

Thanks! I did one other big stone head in the image Adventure in my stuff, at least neither one was a big rolling stone head!
linda858100

stunning
syd baker replied

Thanks Linda, every 3D image is actually a place you can go back and wander around in, kind of blows my mind about that!
Alan Findlater

excellent work well done
syd baker replied

Thanks Alan, this one was reeeally experimental, and am pleased, the following 4 images happened almost automatically!
Dave Martsolf

Hi Syd,

Love this. Been away in normal life for awhile. Amazing how it eats you up – eats me up anyway. So, good to see your new work.

Best to you,

Dave
syd baker replied

Normal life is normal! Thanks Dave, good to see ya, hope this wasn’t too intense!
robpixaday

Bwaha!!!!!! This is superb. and fun.
syd baker replied

Aha, thanks, like your sound effects! Seen so many stone carvings of really serious people and dieties, so I just had to lighten things up. Then the next 4 images happened all by themselves!
Anthony Jalandoni

syd baker replied

Thank you Anthony, it’s a fine example of messing around that turned into something finished!
