Just wanted to share more plastic art with you guy’s. The talent of Bryan Collins caught my eye on the Kid Robot blog, kronikle and I thought I would like to feature it here on my blog.
I hope to start featuring some of my own creations in the coming months as some of the talent out there is quite amazing and not to mention inspirational.
And to feature a few other creations here:

Photobucket and my Tattoo. Trevor Bennett.
Jan 5th
Freehand work based on my initial designs.
In anticipation of my visit to the Tattooist in March I thought I might share the work that has already been completed.
Trevor Bennett is a true artisan and awesome ambassador of Tattooing. Very few have the talent to illustrate as vividly as Trevor.
To then be able translate that on to the skin is noteworthy, even sublime!
Bio-Mechanichal art by Trevor Bennett.
As my left arm will most probably be complete in March I am eager to post the new images to share with whom ever is interested the progress of my art.

Modified.
Believe it or not the above shot is in-game. Just about all aspects of the vehicles are customisable including the exterior paint work.
The above vehicle has taken me 3 days to skin. The bulk of the work was spent using primitive shapes to create the Mr Horsepower – Clay Smith Logo
More of the same or similar community images are on the Forza 3 website. The following in-game image is just purely sublime. Note the damage to the vehicles.
Wizard Smoke

Salazar was founded in 2008 by Jesse Savath, Bienviendo Cruz, Jeff Petry, and Nathan Drillot as a motion picture collective focusing on music videos and narrative films. All four had been working separately inside the industry in various disciplines. Recognizing natural shared instincts and aesthetics the decision was made to stop competing against each other and join forces as a collective.
