2011 Artist Blog - Entry #1

Tsvetomir Georgiev is a Bulgarian digital 3D artist and sculptor who is specialized in creating film-quality characters including but not limited to monsters, sci-fi creatures, realistic humans, and robots. The medium he uses is a computer modeling and sculpting application. The 3 pieces of work I selected from this CG artist are: "A marble God" created in April of 2010; "The neck" (January 2007); and lastly "Pegasus, a winged horse" (May 2010) for a movie "Clash of the Titans". All of the works I saw from him are of marvelous quality and his attention to detail and anatomy is breathtaking . His understanding of planes of the human body as well as animals is clearly shown. I would certainly go as far as comparing his "marble God" sculpture to the works of the Great Masters like Michelangelo, for example. If you take a look at God's beard, you can tell a lot of thought and care went into detailing it - not an easy task at all. The piece was also rendered meaning lit and carefully painted to give that feel of old marble material which makes the composition stand out that much more - and that cannot be accomplished by randomly pushing buttons. A lot of attention also went into God's face - his expression gives that sense of tranquility and peace, perhaps some tiredness too. But just because Georgiev's work is all digital, it still takes great talent and perseverance to create such outstanding pieces, one of the best I have seen in the world of CG art (and I've seen a lot of works). Computer art is just that, another medium. If you're good at sculpting in clay, you'll transfer right in to the digital world with no problem and vice versa. (word count - 284)
