Off Topic - I carve real animal skulls, here's my artwork - Forum

Guessing your original thread got autolocked due to inactivity. Welcome back, and awesome work as always. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.	Posted by Foreverhappychan on Apr 8, 2021, 10:21:07 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Thank you :) " crunkatog wrote: From an anatomist's point of view, your technique of openwork on the maxillae leaving the entirety of the sphenoid-sphenopalatine architecture in place is fantastic. (For those watching at home, those latter are the very thin and fine scaffolding of bones and cartilages that support the connections between our throats, inner ears, noses, and sinuses. They give our voices resonance and act as cable stays for 5 or so major cranial nerve systems.) They're typically hard to visualize so this is where delicate work like yours can show them off nicely. Many animals have distinctive vocalizations and looking at how the palate and sinuses are configured, can demonstrate how and why. (Or you could use a tagged 3D imaging program to collate MRI slices and reconstruct them.) Also it looks cool af :D Very much Einhar business! I do like showing the inner parts on some works, i have some where they are even easier too see i have to find photos of them and post them here :D " Turtledove wrote: Amazing! Thank you for sharing Thanks a lot, glad you like it:D " gandhar0 wrote: I like the decently/slightly carved skulls the most and dislike the ones where's hardly any bone left. You're truly a RL Einhar. Good job. Im really glad to hear that, males me feel like i can make stuff that everyone likes:D " Shovelcut wrote: There aren't words to describe exactly how much I love your work!

I rarely purchase them, that i only do when someone wants a commission on a specific type of skull so i buy it for them and carve it. Most of them are found or are from farmers whose livestock died, they bring them to me since there isnt really anything they can do with the heads and i pay them:) Neat! Thanks for the answer, hopefully will get to see more in the future!	Posted by Nichelle_GGG on Apr 9, 2021, 11:07:07 AM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

Sure ill post more, i got some big sculptures ill put on here too soon, very glad you like them:D " Fauxxx_NL wrote: you... are amazing! Is this considered scrimshaw? <<<Obsessed with skeletons btw, Love this! I think its mostly considered sculpture broadly speaking, scrimshaw is usually done in ivory/whale tooth " Necrolyte wrote: These are just drop dead gorgeous! Fantastic work. Thank you very much!!

Yea im not sure what exactly it would be named, broadly its sculpture as i said above, but it doesnt really fit into any of the specializations of sculptures, since i pretty much use all of the techniques used in different types of sculpture I carve and sell real animal skulls, check out my work here: https://www.instagram.com/victorseiche/ https://www.facebook.com/victorseicheart/ World first Uber Atziri as 2h and 2h RT build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1058950 Highest level char in Closed Beta, Wytchfindergeneral Last edited by VictorDoom on Apr 18, 2021, 11:28:42 AM	Posted by VictorDoom on Apr 18, 2021, 11:25:52 AM Quote this Post

When I first saw your post I was like "I don't have time for that right now" but now that I've seen what you do, WOW! I'm sorry I didn't look sooner! Great job!
