When a render is no longer a render

Sure, rendering is a great hobby to let your imagination run wild. It's also an awesome way to create illustrations for books, posters, album covers, advertisements and whatnot.

But, why stop there, when you can take your creation out of your computer? DS is also a great tool for prototyping and referencing, a tool to create a concept.

Mind you, my project is still WIP, but it is nearing completion (just a few layers of oil, but I'm taking my sweet time for that part, like could be a month or two). So, it started with a few long-focus renders of the model, to get the outlines. Then transfering them on a piece of wood (prune), bandsawing the outlines of the model, and carving it into form. The base is made of apple wood, and done more "free-style". I didn't oil the base yet, but that'll come too.

    Very interesting use of the program and a render.  Kind of like taking 3d and turning it into 2d (with the render drawing), then reverting to 3d.  Nice work on the carving!

    Wow that's quite lovely!  I have a 3d printed model of my dragon (IceDragon( that I designed for my branding.  I'm about half way done painting it. This program is extremely versatile.
