Michael Brennan Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Been hard to decide what to work on for the Fall 2020 Image contest! But think I'm settled on this awkward guy. He is something I sketched up a number of years ago. Every so often when I rifle through my hard drive he resurfaces and I think it will be cool to make him in 3d, but then get busy with something else and he gets shelved..... again. So anyway... here goes the more serious attempt to bring him to life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 5, 2020 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 5, 2020 That could be a Nick Drake song title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 5, 2020 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'm afraid he's known for exactly one hugely famous song "Pink Moon"... and that was back in the 90s. https://adage.com/creativity/work/milky-way/6922 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-apr-11-ca-49418-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brennan Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 He really was like the Van Gogh of music, so many of us creatives can identify with his struggle. You pour your heart and soul into your craft and it doesn't always get recognized. Best quote in the La Times article:“VW does it again,” and “Now when I think of VW, I think of Nick Drake and not Hitler.” 😂 😂 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check my Nick Drake box set to see if there's a song that will fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jirard Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Great work Michael. Did you touch up te render in a paint program? If not would you mind upload the choreography without the model? The style reminds me of another member, I think his name was Dark Limit or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
