Concept:
my model design is based on the incense holder I bought a few years ago. Ive always like the idea of sentient nature and i've seen the tree with a face design in interpreted many ways with women and men somtimes more human than tree and visa versa. in my design I pushed it more towards a very old man with a woody bush beard and deep set in eyes as well as a large curved nose.
Technique:
the orginal models trunk and branches where made from primatives like cylanders and face was model from trsditional character modeling techniques. then I sculpted more detail in mudbox in multiple layers so could use displacement mades for the heavier details. but in my serial slice I took the lowest polycount model with strong remaining detail and prepped it for the serial slice by caping the wholes in the limbs that I original built in to mimick the real world refrence.
Materials:
for materials I havnt completly decided which route i want to go. If I use the cardboard the I will build up the model body with masking tape and liquid plastic and then begin the finishing stages and detailing with other materials such as plumbers epoxy. but if I use MDF which i've never done with this type of project then im not sure what id do to elevate the exterior, I could use shellac as a stain and maybe use tools to grind into the wood and add more texture and deeper recesses then possibly brushing on clear epoxy or exploring other undone techniques and materials.
