Wow!
I've always been following your tuts in the sculpting section and its good to hear you finally have a dvd coming out.
I've never sculpted....but who is to say I won't be able to do it with practice, right?
I think I'm going to pick up this bad boy.
Btw, how long is it? From start to finish, including the two mini lessons?

This one is really well done folks....Petey shares a ton of his secrets...and it will help even 3d artists looking to understand sculpture principles as well. The same stuff applies to 2d creature design as well. Great stuff....

The Member who created this title currently has it on hold
I saw this on the website, what does that mean?

[_Mario]

I saw this on the website, what does that mean?It means that this statementWe've just wrapped up production on Petey's DVD and it should be for sale very shortly!! (early next week)is probably true (emphasis mine).

[MassiveDVD]

i.was.ink: It's 2 hours 11 minutes long in total. It has everything in there to get you up and running. The only thing missing is the painting portion which deserves it's own DVD. (coming soon)

Qitsune: We're just waiting on the final proofs from our distributor. Once we have those we'll release it.

Regards,
MassiveDVD

this one looks cool, but i'm no sculptor.

i'd love to see a digital painting dvd by noxizmad.
anyone else?

[A.Cerasoli]

Nice! I am definitely going to buy this one. I had one scuplture class about three years ago but didn't really learn much. After I get this DVD that will most likely change. :)

[MassiveDVD]

The DVD is officially for sale. Come and get 'em!

[Jessica Hook]

I just watched the DVD proof, wow that was inspiring! :D
I've only made 1 sculpture in my life, it was a college project. Now I totally wanna get a brick of Sculpey and try something new! Seriously, I'm all giddy inside, I can't wait for the weekend! :)

[A.Cerasoli]

[Hive_minD]

[magicgoo]

One question:

Will there be another video that covers the making of molds? Or does this one by chance include that part of it all?

[MassiveDVD]

magicgoo: This one does not cover making molds. We're considering covering that subject as well as sculpture-painting in future releases.

[A.Cerasoli]

I just got the DVD and I am now going to go watch it. Oh and CustomFlix ships really fast. I just ordered this Thursday or at least I think it was Thursday and it's here already. :)


Thanks for the Discount! :)

Awww, too bad :( But, w00t if you do make a future one! I hope so, as that's the part I'm really confused about. OK, gotta wait til I get paid and I'll pick this one up. Thanks for the response to my question :)

[stalsby]

Amazing! Thank you Mr. konig!!! Your work is top notch! And thanks to Conceptart for making these DVD's!

[sinkywinky]

Will it ever be possible to download these releases? (after paying for them of course). Physical media is so last millenium, and it's not like dvds make it hard to pirate the stuff that's on them.

[MassiveDVD]

Stalsby: Glad you like it!!

Stinkywinky: Downloadable content is definitely something we're exploring :) Don't hold your breath for Petey's DVD, however, because it won't be available to download anytime soon. Other upcoming releases might be a different story.

[DelicateFairy]

that looks just so beautiful....

[Tommy007]

Thank you Mr. Konig, from the bottom of my heart.:yayca: :yayca: :yayca:

[abyss103]

congrats on the dvd, peter!

meh, im just a purist, but i think physical media etc etc has a sentimental appeal. but by all means if a downloadable versions will get more ppl to buy then do it. gotta support the community.

[Peter Konig]

Thanks you guys...hope you get something out of it! If you get the dvd and have any questions as you work on your projects, please email me and I'll do my best to answer any questions.
Also, check out my fine art sculpture blog when you get a chance... www.peterkonig.blogspot.com

Thanks again.

[Peter Konig]

MY GOD I need to go on a diet or something....holy crap look at that side view! Guess it's too late to photoshop now...haha....

[BjWynia]

Got mine yesterday and I have watched it twice.This DVD is great, If your a character designer or Sculpt you need this DVD.

Cant wait to get this!!!

nice to see a fun selection of toys on the shelves
have you ever done any Vinyl?

[teh roxxors]

I ordered my video on 3/24 and received it 3/28. I'm watching it with my 11-year-old daughter (she loves sculpture, especially with Sculpey). I especially appreciate Peter's outlook on the balance of skill and persistence -- it mirrors what I've suspected for years and what I try to teach my students today.

Even a casual review of the video reveals some incredible insights into the art form. I'm sure I'll have more to say after several more viewings.

Thanks, Peter, for making this! (Please do a biped next!)

[fastfeet]

Just ordered mine........should be here Fri, makes for a great weekend...and I also got Marko Djurdjevic...Character Ideation coming with it....Thx again Lou

[guitarjaff]

Hope it's Andrew Jones :D

H-D

[Jason Manley]

andrew jones and shawn barber are up next....it will be a little while though...

right now, the petey dvd here is one of the best on the market. if you are a creature artist, then it is a MUST HAVE.

thanks for all the support,


Jason

[The Goon]

It's absolutely great!

[bendigo tinker]

I think I remember a dinosaur made by Peter, maybe a year or so ago,
Just wondering if a dvd of the making of that would be possible.

[MassiveDVD]

Bendigo: We never filmed Petey sculpting a dinosaur. Right now his schedule is very busy but we'll keep it in mind for future releases.

[nickzorn]

I just got the DVD...I was never really into sculpting, but this has really inspired me. I'm totally gonna grab some sculpey and start now.

[XA_Coma]

Anyone know if any UK distributors are selling this its gonna take like 2 months to get here if ordered from Massive Black, or from Amazon.

Thanks.

amazon.com shipping normally takes a couple of weeks even the cheapest option.

[MassiveDVD]

The $10 discount is only applicable through Customflix.

Amazon owns Customflix. Any order placed through Amazon will have to go through Customflix first so it will be quicker to place your order directly with them.

[MassiveDVD]

I've attached images of the concept images Petey created for the sculpture.

[CheBoludo]

Cheers :)

[McPhish]

Love the dvd! Is there anyway you could give a list of the materials used? For example the 2 component silicone used to make the texture stamps? I've been looking on the internet, but there are so many different kinds. I've used liquid silicone rubber before but I've never seen a putty style silicone...

Thanks

[Peter Konig]

Hey McPhish...glad you liked it...

The silicone putty I use can be bought from Douglas & Sturgess in San Francisco. It's called Siliput. I believe they have an online catalog and you can mailorder. Thanks!

[Beastman-X7]

i needs to get my hands on this dvd. i been sculpting on and off for the past 12 yrs now, but have suffering one evil art block and lack of creative space . so i have put my art aside. bad thing. i know. i will be moving to arizona in several weeks and will be trying to settle and rebuild the studio there. this dvd will help so much, i am glad theres this kind of teaching on disc. there was a time there wasnt . i hope to see vol. 2 and so forth.

[Steven W.]

very nice work man

looks amazing i think ill pick this copy up wen i get the money

[Sovae]

sorry, double post.

[Sovae]

I just got this a few days ago, and I have to say it's pretty awesome. Something I've found really useful for helping clay stick to armature is coating the armature in some kind of non-porous glue (like gem-tac) or covering the whole armature in floral tape. Both provide a tacky surface that holds the clay and prevents it lifting off of the wire.

I was really disappointed that the dvd didn't show the baking process. I wanted to know if the entire stand could be placed in the oven.
I've worked in polymer clay for years so I know how to bake things, but it would have been great to see how someone else did it. I was also disappointed we never got to see the tail hole filled in, or any sort of paint/colour added.
Don't get me wrong, I don't regret the money I spent on it, just wish it had been a little more complete :)

[VulgarDragon]

I was really disappointed that the dvd didn't show the baking process. I wanted to know if the entire stand could be placed in the oven.

I am pretty sure he chucked the whole thing into the oven...anything that won't burn or melt at 250F will do just fine.

[Sovae]

I figured he would, as baking it standing or something might mess up the feet. I've made something similar myself but I'm not convinced it will fit in the oven with the sculpture I'm putting on it! better go measure that...

[VulgarDragon]

Yeah...it really depends on the size of your oven. I think that Mr. Konig uses a pizza oven...I believe I read somewhere that he brought a used pizza oven so he could bake large pieces.

[Mirana]

You can also make your sculpt with removable sections (using joints in-between them) to get it to all fit in a smaller oven. Just use pieces of small hollow rods (one slightly larger than the other so they'll fit into one another) for the joints, propoxied to the armature. Create a separate stand for the extra pieces (try utilizing the joints if possible) to keep the sculpt up.

[Sovae]

Hi Mirana
Yes, I've recently started to do that more. I am building armature for a dragon right now and the wings will be separate, and I just completed a griffin with removable wings and just one other before that. So I'm still learning a lot, it makes armature building a lot more complex! I've been doing them with brass pipe/tube of slightly different sizes so that the larger can be imbedded int he clay, and the smaller can slot in and then be filled over with epoxy.
I did have problems with the first in the oven because I didn't make a separate stand for it, and for the griffin wings I didn't really need one (as I baked them about 5 times each and placed the already hard or not yet worked on surface on the plate) and that worked out fine, but for this one I will definitely need a stand :)

[Mirana]

Cool. Extra stands don't have to be very hardcore anyway so you should be fine. Good luck. :)
