You look great.

Nice Art!

The ability of artists to make marble look soft and/or alive and/or see-through will never not completely floor me.

[-] Malgas@beehaw.org 21 points 2 months ago

Because you mentioned see-through-ness and the above images don't really showcase it, I'm just going to leave Giovanni Strazza's Veiled Virgin here:

Marble scatters and transmits light in a similar sort of way that flesh does

This is the 15 years of experience at the age of 25 the industry demand.

10-15 years of using software thats only existed for six months...

[-] Art3mis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 2 months ago

That bernini detail is actually insane. Marble work blows my mind.

Medusa is out there seducing all the artists.

They didn't have porn, so getting good enough to justify the live models was a great motivator!

Packs of roaming gorgons used to be a real problem back in the day.

If I had to pick a stone to be for eternity though, marble ain't bad.

Eh, live fast die young leave a great-looking stone corpse!

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

I don't know much about statues but I had to double check the 2nd one was real, like those conturves of the fingers look so awesome. I honestly have no idea what we can do with stone exactly.

Oh Bernili was done much more recently than I thought. Not that I don't think it's awesome for sure but they're like 500 years apart.

Still love seeing newer art, should include the full piece too for comparison. Still a nicely done piece.

They'll say the same thing about my MS Paint skills.

[-] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Pain(t)ful to watch them be so good so early
