  • We stop by the booth of artist Dominic Qwek at this year's Comic-Con. We're big fans of Dominic's sculptures and resin kits, and chat with him about his digital sculpting process and how it differs from working with physical materials like clay. His work inspires us!

    Wow Dominic is a very modest guy. These pieces are incredible! Norm you definitely need to talk him in to coming on the show.

      I was just about to comment this same thing. I was actually blown away by how nice Dominic is, and well, obviously, blown away by his pieces too. Awesome work. Awesome guy.

    When Dominic mentioned Beksiński'ego he instantly got follows and likes at almost all his socialmedia from me. This man knows what he's doing and he's doing it well

    Amazing job isolating the sound! You can tell from the way Norm is talking that there's a lot of background noise, but it's completely unobtrusive in the video.

  • @Doodlebob563
    @Doodlebob563 8 лет назад +1

    Not to talk trash on the guy or anything since he is fairly modest, but you could honestly do this. Don't get bummed and think this is some amazing talent or something that you could never achieve. Play around with a computer program for a while, it makes everything symmetrical for you automatically, and then pretty much email the file to have it printed/sculpted/painted.

  • @JuanATena

    dumb question but what is final sculpt? Is it apart of Zbrush or another software suite?

    • @francescalanigan-meade9615
      @francescalanigan-meade9615 8 лет назад

      it's a completely different program, if I'm correct :) it's basically the polishing program to neaten up edge and smooth down polys and tries to add crazy tiny detail!
