Mudbox quick sketch by Bridgette Mongeon- pouting children

I like the emotion that pouting brings to the face. I guess that is what I have focused on here.

In a previous post “Thinking about fast. Is it the new slow” I had depicted some of my quick sketches in Mudbox.  I have decided to try and do these regularly so I am going to insert some more.  I may also switch to zbrush quick sketches. The timer is set for 30 minutes.  If you want to share your quick sketches in Mudbox or zbrush I have created a challenge on the digitalsculpting.net website forum.  Can’t wait to see what others have.

 Mudbox quick sketch by Bridgette Mongeon

Doing an open mouth quickly is no easy trick. Especially with a tongue, but I managed it and had fun.

Another open mouth, but no little tears. This time I wanted to capture an all out rant.

I’m looking for cutting edge art or research projects that are somewhat controversial or can prompt a dialogue.  Must be associated with art and technology.  A varied amount of possibilities involved.

1. Interview on the Art and Technology Podcast.

2. Possible inclusion in an up and coming book

3. May be included as the topic in  a world wide  peer group dialogue.

Example of the type of things we are looking at please see this article Frankensteinian Art? The suggested art does not have to be bio art it can include other forms of technology such as nanotechnology.

The interview with Oron Catts will be added to the online podcast of Art and Technology found at http://www.digitalsculpting.net on May 5th.

Please e mail me privately if you have a suggestion for this ASAP.

Sculptor Bridgette Mongeon works fast in Mudbox

A 20 minute sketch in Mudbox. Time to loosen up and have some fun.

It does not take long to search around my site and see that most of my work is very detailed.  I have and do love that way of working, but lately I have been thinking about fast.  Sculpting fast and seeing what comes out.  I may embrace this throughout the next few months.  I have done this before with quick sketches in clay but have not done it in a very long time.  So I started with Mudbox—working fast in mudbox.  You may have seen some of these on my blog before.  But here are some 20-25 minute sketches using the Mudbox sphere.

Creating fast. It is freeing, there are no stipulations, sure there is a deadline- the timer. but it is amazing, if you do this over and over again what it will do for the way you work.  There is a great sense of peace in working fast. You may see a bunch more pieces on this blog as I experiment with fast.  It does not have to be hectic or trying. So I am wondering is fast the new slow?
