Gift to the Gods - The Sacrifice of iSaac - happymat27

[happymat27]

Hi,

I enjoyed the last challenge so much I've decided to try my hand in this months one too.

This time I intend to build The Sacrifice of Isaac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Sacrifice_of_Isaac_by_Caravaggio.jpg)by Caravaggio using Maya but resituate it in a robot world.

I still need to really think about the style of the mechanical objects but here's a rough sketch of my idea.

Hopefully I'll be updating on a regular basis though the month.

Cheers and good luck to all,

Mat :)

Lovely sketch, looking forward to seeing this one take shape. I like the idea and juding from your sketch it looks like a maccabre style of robots or something :) Best of luck with the project :)

A classic piece done in robots. I like your thinking.

This theme would have been my first pick if I were using Zbrush. Great theme depicted many times throughout the history and truly a portfolio piece if you do it right. Angel stopping Abrahams hand...
Unfortunatelly its direct reference to active religion. Really sorry. :(

[happymat27]

Thanks for your thoughts about my idea but I'm a little worried now that a reference to active religion (even in response to a work of art) will disqualify my piece.

Would it be better to change my plan?

i wouldn't worry, there were no robots in the bible (if there were I reckon more people would read it)



edit:

also - I don't think there's an issue as to where you draw your inspiration from, if you were to slap a dirty great crucifix in the picture there might be an issue (it would also be horribly inaccurate)

[happymat27]

Ok, thanks for that, so long as there is no issue with the content of my piece then I'll carry on with it.

dont take my word as gospel ;)

[happymat27]

Ok, until someone says that what I'm doing is against the rules I might as well continue... it'll hopefully make a nice portfolio piece at the end of the day at any rate.

I've made a little progress on the design for the middle robot (model no. 48-rAhAM), it will be holding the screwdriver.

Cheers,

Mat :)

Alrighty then,

I've made a start on modelling, here's a wire of the torso for the above sketch. I think I might get a little more opportunity to model today so there may be further updates later.

Cheers for your thoughts,

Mat :)
