g'day all.
I tried my hand at some carving for the first time. I studied some photos for awhile and tried to take on board some mental notes.
I thoroughly enjoyed it but i defiantly have a lot more to do before they become somewhat acceptable.
I removed the background with tool quickly and then run over it with a rotary burr... all the carving was done with the Lindsay detailing point on a PC.
And well i don't have a scraping tool yet so i cheated and bead blasted the job once finished, which actually work exceptionally well in removing tool marks and giving a nice smooth matted finish - and took no more than 10 seconds.
please feel free to criticize and point out some errors.
real size...
after bead blasting...
