I did this wire sculpture of Merlin a few years ago.
Human subjects are usually difficult to balance, two legs aren't enough to hold up a sculpture made out of wire. But the buttom of Merlin's cloak helped to solve the problem.
He is 14" tall, and again I tried to use as little wire as possible in defining this pose.
It is probably not the most ideal angle this was filmed at, right when his face looks the most clear, his right hand moves across the head. It would look better, had the camera been a little higher, but for technical reasons I had to go with this angle.
I am looking forward to doing a Madame Mim sculpture.
She will be a challenge in terms of balance, unless I do the pose when she is sitting down, holding Wart (as a bird)……hmmmm….

Another great wire piece! Thanks for sharing Andreas!
ReplyDeleteBeing so delicate, how do you go about storing these wire pieces? Since they're relatively small, do you keep them on a shelf and display them at home, or do you put them in some kind of storage space?
That looks incredible! I'm looking forward to seeing Madame Mim!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteLove that music. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man these wire models are great!

ReplyDeleteI love wire sculptures. Wonderful! Thanks, Andreas!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Andreas, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gem! so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! I was under the impression that this would only look good from one or two angles, but it's really very dynamic from any view. I love the very distinct Milk Kahl arms and hands that you captured. Good luck with Madame Mim!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I love how strong the pose! Especially because you used such little wire.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Higitus Figitus!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! Lovely
ReplyDeleteHere's a challenge: Create Madame Medusa in wire sculpture! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's been done, by Milt himself.
DeleteMaybe I'll try my own version.
Simply wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour wire sculptures never fail to put a smile on my face :D Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteThis is utterly phenomenal! I love the pose. Can't wait to see Mim down the road sometime!
ReplyDeleteWill you ever post some of the sculptures Milt Kahl did? i'm sure we'd all love to see them!
ReplyDeleteI showed a few photos of Milt's sculptures in a previous post.
DeleteOther than that I don't have access to whatever remains of his wire art.
WOOOW ! this is Simply awesome !
ReplyDeletelookin' forward to see Madame Mim :)
What amazes me the most about this Mr. Dejas, is the fact that every perspective you look at this sculpture from is just how merlin would be drawn. Do you sketch these wire sculptures out before you work on them, or do you just work out the sculpture itself and let things play out as you work on them?
ReplyDeleteGood question. I usually sketch the design of the head on paper first. After I sculpted the head I improvise with the rest.
DeleteWow!!!!!! That wire Merlin was great! Geez, if only wire wasn't so crushable!
ReplyDeleteHi Andreas, what type of wire do you use for your sculptures? And tools of any kind?
