“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
I’m nearing twenty years now as a digital artist, and I think I understand what Stephen King meant by this Quote. I’m disabled and have a lot of free time. I stop Madness from consuming me by creating works of art. I do this almost all day, everyday. If I am not creating something, I’m promoting myself, teaching someone to do this or supporting other Artists.
Like anything else you do, it has a tendency to Invade your dreams at night. My art invades mine. I keep a sketch pad on my nightstand and many nights I wake from a dream and sketch something I saw in the dream. The next day, I go to work bringing that vision to a Cyber Reality.
These 3D models were created with various PC software. The El Camino was a collaboration between myself and another 3D artist named Doberman. The Machine in the foreground is the ‘Gamma- Ray’ its been my Nemesis for over two years now, always changing and morphing into something more bizarre.
very nice
Hi Woody, Awesome machines! Good to see you here.
Great quote from Stephen King.
Yes one of my favorites
haha, soo cool I love this!
Thank you
Thanks everyone for all the views and comments.
Great collaboration. I too can relate to a lot of what you’ve mentioned. I was actually trained on old fashioned graphic work at the age of 15, I’m still learning digital, self taught, as well. Soon I shall attempt to write my story, but I’m by nature a bit more evasive when it comes to these things.
Thank you. I think many Artist look at things not for what they are, but for what they could be become thats what is so much fun about collaborations
your trains, cars & bikes are very cool woody. nice work.
Thank you
With visual stuff I often just start and try to work my way out of it. Maybe a vague plan – I imagine that a writer would be less haphazard but I am not a writer.
With models I always start with a basic cylinder, that usually turns into a wheel, and away we go from there. lol
