Brownies

This was for the Avalanche blog again. I've always been bothered by the so-called species of "Brownies," because I like real brownies so much better. But if Brownies are all about eating brownies, maybe I can be okay with that.

Turned out great Sam! Awesome modeling, feels so real.

My eyes are a little confused on the mushroom, can't tell if he's depressing the surface or not you know? Nitpicky I know @_@

Sam Nielson said...

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Tom: Curse your eyes! Okay, I'll see what I can do about that.

Heather: It's some "photomanip", and some painting---but even the painted stuff has photo overlays so it would all fit together.

Mark Behm said...

OK, your ability to capture that ambient lighting of reality is downright creepy - even if we're just talking about the brownie guy. Sheesh.

Mark Montague said...

You didn't paint this.

You photographed the little fella whilst he was munching on that brownie.

Good work sir.

Very cool, Sam. It looks so real it makes me want to eat a brownie. The food kind, not the other.

Mike and Kari said...

I must admit that I am often impressed by your work, Sam...But this time the title of your Blog "Sam's Tasty Art" is so very apropos. Kari would like a print of this!
