SCULPTORS 05 - Art Book - Genkosha - MOOK

A published visual book of original sculpting and prototype work!

This is a collection of the latest work and cutting-edge techniques from the most skilled sculptors and modelers across the worlds of figures, games, commercials, film, and art. It's packed with newly created and original pieces from up-and-coming artists working in both analog and digital. It also features plenty of things you can't see once a product reaches the shelf: photos of clay prototypes, how-to guides on the production process, and design theory. Volume 05 focuses on the "texture and surface expression" that determines how real a sculpt feels, and on the "painting" that brings it to life, with sculptors and finishers commenting on and teaching their texture, painting, and finishing techniques.

The opening feature is a clay-sculpting making-of for Ryu Oyama's much-talked-about piece "Black Dragon: Fatalis." A new series by Takayuki Takeya also begins in this issue.
