One of my favorite artists is Erich Sokol. His character design, storytelling, and colors are just amazing. Sadly Erich died in February 2003. His artwork and books have gone way up in price but you can still see some of his work on the internet. I have links to download many of his pictures…a total of 58. Due to the amount of pictures and their large size, I have decided to put them up on Rapidshare for all to download. Some of the pictures you might have seen on the internet and many that you may not have. So click on the links - which will take you to the download area. Then click on the free user button on the left, below the speedometer. Then wait for the 30 seconds countdown after which the download button will appear. Finally click on that and your download will start. It’s free, it’s fast, and very safe (no viruses or adware). http://rapidshare.com/files/222593163/Erich_Sokol_Day_1.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/223324082/Erich_Sokol_Day_2.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/22...

The first Design Challenge was posted, but there’s still time to accomplish it, here’s the information about the challenge. Have you ever seen an animated film and wished you could re-design a character or two? Well this is the Art & Design Challenge for this month. Re-design Roger Rabbit and/or Jessica Rabbit from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Post all of your Pictures in the April 2009 Art & Design Challenge thread by April 30th, and then at the first of the next month (May 1 - May 3) all members will vote for the best Re-design. Both professional and non-professional can participate in the challenges. Here are the rules... Roger needs to be a white bunny, and Jessica needs to be a tall red head (if you color it, that is). Remember to keep the characters in the same art style as the film. Other than that, shapes, sizes, and what they are wearing can be up to you. If you want to participate in the challenge, or view everyone’s designs in the thread, hurry and registe...

Betsy Bauer asks… Damon, What is your process like? Do you begin your sculpture with a wireframe/tinfoil and gradually build everything up all at once, or do you tend to work in "pieces?" How long does it normally take you to complete one sculpture? Betsy, I normally start with an aluminum wire armature to set the pose and hold the sculpture upright. I then gradually build up everything at the same time to keep the whole thing cohesive so nothing gets left behind. Also, sometimes I build things in pieces like for stop-motion puppets. Usually, depending on how refined/detailed a sculpture is, it can take a matter of days to weeks. It just depends on what the sculpture is for. Caio asks… What kind of deadlines do you have? Do you work directly with a character designer? And if so, after you get the designs, model sheets and stuff what's usually the deadline time you've got to accomplish your work? I don't understand too much about sculpture for the entertainment ind...
