John Williams - sculpture

[Petr Potter 60]

Hello there!´:´)

I decided to learn sculpting with clay material and create my second work at all John Towner Williams composer.

you can see at : http://www.humanart.cz/nahled.php?id=74582&bgcolor=black

I study music compositing and John Williams was the man, who inspired me to study music. I study at Prague conservatory.

Thanks for everything John! We love your music!

Also my compositions you can listen at www.petrmachane.com

Thanks!

Wow cool!

Heh the glasses really add the final touch.

I am sure in a 100 years music schools will have the busts of John Williams alongside the other masters of music.

Very good, but the eyes are dead.

[Maglorfin 219]

Wow, this looks awesome! Send a pic to Williams or to his agency somehow, I think he should see that!

I really don't know a lot about sculpting and would never dare to criticise your great work but maybe the eyes could really profit by adding pupils.

[Ren 77]

Very nice. I agree with the eyes. I'd also love to see more neck/chest. He doesn't seem that sturdy. ;-)

Like a turkey

Well it's the guy's second sculpture. Give him some slack on the eyes, which is one of the toughest things to get right in any visual art.

Constructive critisism, old greybeard.

[Petr Potter 60]

Thanks everyone, i know that eyes are sculpted with little holes but in this case i decided to sculpt it without them, i sad it before, i am not sculptor and i never studied technics and anatomy, all is only about how i see mr Williams:) someone like that, someone not:) i like to read some critics of course.

In case of glases that was problem! i was looking for this glases old style long time:D finally one teacher of math from czech gived me them:'D

It was verry funy and hard proces for me to bring John to Czech:'D sometimes we discus compositing and drink some alcohol until late hours:'D

Hope it makes you happy:)

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,385]

Alcohol makes me happy...

Not bad, Pierre! Good work. Loved the touch with the glasses.

Incidentally, there's also this cover from Gramphone magazine, May 2006, that has a 'sculpture' of Williams on the front cover. I tried to find it online, but to no avail. However, there's a small jpg in this earlier JWFAN thread:

He's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes.

Great work!

[indy4 160]

That is awesome!

[Brónach 1,330]

That's your second work? Wow.

[Petr Potter 60]

That's your second work? Wow.

It´s not about the second or the first, its my first head ever. First try with clay was some little puppet. Thanks you:)

[Miguel Andrade 1,725]

Well, my only try with clay was also a little puppet... maybe I should give it a shot too

Though that would be likely a waste of time. I've always been more of a paint on canvas kind of guy.

Anyway, your work does look great.

[Xander Harris 9,673]

I think it looks just like him. One day they're going to erect a statue of him at Tanglewood. It's marble, about 20 meters tall and he's looking up at the sky, and his hand is sort of conducting toward the future.

I think it does look like JW. Good job

But I can only imagine that in the middle of a living room and guests wondering who the fuck it is

(the eyes are dead because he forgot pupils!) You could make little black stickers

Exactly, people do visit me at home and they are like " huuuf and who is this guy. I say " its John Williams, my life force " aha, well and what else do you have there:D ? ...

you know guys, we all are somehow verry special. Not everybody know and likes Williams the same way that We do and especially in Europe and the rest of the World : )

But to me he will be for all my life. The life force man.
