soundofart2017 submission - An art gallery showcasing my pencil and charcoal portraits (thank you sketchfab for giving my art a place to live!) Created in 3ds max.
I have narrated some of the creative process behind the first 4 drawings only, outlining some of the techniques I use.
 
I've tried to show that animation can be used in a more subtle way to add life to scenes, understating the movements. All my latest drawings will be added to this gallery, so this is a live view of my work :)

Puzzle-heads! See if you can spot the hidden secret message somewhere in this scene.....

The Herculaneum boat was found during excavation work on the ancient shoreline of Herculaneum in 1982. It was found inverted on the shoreline, with the fore of the boat having been stoved in by other timber and debris from the eruption and completely destroyed. The hot pyroclastic flows that hit herculaneum carbonized the other 2/3rds of the boat and buried it, preserving it to this day. The vessel is 8.6 m long, 2.2 m wide, and about 85 cm deep. It was preserved up to the oarlocks, and most of the sternpost was preserved. After removing the boat from the shoreline, it sat in storage for awhile until a method was designer of flipping it over and excavating the inside. The boat is now on display at Herculaneum, along with other nautical equipment found on the shore including oars and a rudder fragment from other boats (but used here). The boat is yet to be fully published, the main resource for this reconstruction was an unpublished 2005 paper by Richard Steffy: https://tinyurl.com/mr2nzm7x

Boadiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle's design as well as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam.

3D scan of a trumpeter swan (*Cygnus buccinator*), which is the largest native water bird in Northern America and has been widespread there. These birds are around 1.5 meters long, with a wingspan of more than 2 meters. Trumpeter swans got their vernacular name due to their trumpet-like calls. This also reflects the scientific species name derived from "buccinare" – to trumpet. 

The exhibited specimen originates from the Tiergarten Nürnberg and came to the NHM Vienna in 1978.

This trumpeter swan can be found in Hall 30 of the Natural History Museum Vienna.

**Specimen**: *Cygnus buccinator* Richardson, 1832

Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn, near Finstown, Mainland, Orkney, is a late Neolithic (c.3200-2300 BC) 'Maes Howe'-type tomb.  The tomb is located on the side of the hill and the floor is cut into sandstone bedrock.  The chambers are constructed from fine dry-stone walling with corbelled roofs.  The mound measures c.55 feet in diameter and the main chamber is 8 feet 6 inches tall.

The tomb was partly excavated by James Cursiter in 1888 and more extensively investigated by Malcolm M. Charleston in 1901.  The tomb contained at least 8 burials and the skulls of 24 dogs.  The latter may have been a totemic animal, but they were probably deposited in the Bronze Age rather than the Neolithic.  The tomb sites above the Neolithic settlement site of Stonehall, which was excavated by Prof Colin Richards in the 1990s. 

This site is managed by Historic Environment Scotland and is open to the public.  For more information see CANMORE: http://canmore.org.uk/site/2059

Donnington Castle is a ruined medieval castle, situated in the small village of Donnington, just north of the town of Newbury in the English county of Berkshire. It was founded by Sir Richard Abberbury the Elder in 1386 and was bought by Thomas Chaucer before the castle was taken under royal control during the Tudor period. During the First English Civil War the castle was held by the royalist Sir John Boys and withstood an 18-month siege; after the garrison eventually surrendered, Parliament voted to demolish Donnington Castle in 1646. Only the gatehouse survives. The site is under the care of English Heritage and is protected from unauthorised change as a scheduled ancient monument.

Raby Castle is a medieval castle located near Staindrop in County Durham, England, among 200 acres (810,000 m2) of deer park. It was built by John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby, between approximately 1367 and 1390. Cecily Neville, the mother of the Kings Edward IV and Richard III, was born here. After Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland, led the failed Rising of the North in favour of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1569 Raby Castle was taken into royal custody. Sir Henry Vane the Elder purchased Raby Castle in 1626 and neighbouring Barnard Castle from the Crown, and the Earls of Darlington and Dukes of Cleveland added a Gothic-style entrance hall and octagonal drawing room.

The Top Gear Geoff Electric Car is a deliberately shoddy, home‑built experimental EV created by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May as a comedic rival to the G‑Wiz in Series 14, Episode 2 of Top Gear. Improvised from a milk float chassis, scrap body panels, and an electric motor powered by two scavenged batteries, it was designed as much to mock early eco‑cars as to test the trio’s ability to “save the planet” with their own zero‑emissions vehicle.
Geoff’s  is a tall, boxy, almost Jeep‑like shape clad in flat aluminium sheet, with crude panel gaps, awkward proportions, and minimal attention to aerodynamics or comfort. Its reflective metal body gives it a harsh, unfinished look, while the cramped, upright cabin forced the team to literally bolt on a raised “roof box” so Hammond could sit inside without hitting his head. There is almost no ventilation, little sound insulation, and the interir feels more like a hastily built shed than a finished car.

This wire sculpture by British artist Richard Stainthorp showcases his signature ability to turn industrial materials into expressive human forms. Composed of tightly wound black and white wires, the reclining figure captures anatomical detail with surprising nuance: the curve of the torso, the tension in the limbs, the quiet balance of a body at rest. Stainthorp has worked with wire since the mid‑1990s, developing a technique that emphasizes emotion through posture rather than facial expression. In this piece, the relaxed, grounded pose suggests contemplation and ease, while the layered wirework reveals the underlying structure like exposed musculature. The result is a striking blend of strength, vulnerability, and material precision, an artwork that feels both mechanical and deeply human.

Dimorphodon is an ambient animal in Carnivores, Carnivores 2, and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter.

**reality**

Dimorphodon (from the Greek di, "two," morphe, "form," and odon, "tooth"; "two-formed teeth") is a genus of rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs from the Early Jurassic, 195 to 190 million years ago. It was named by paleontologist Richard Owen in 1859.

Dimorphodon had a wingspan of approximately 1.4 m and a length of 1 m, including the tail. It had a large, bulky skull, the weight of which was reduced by the presence of large cavities separated by thin bony walls. This structure, reminiscent of the arches of a bridge, led Owen to assert that no other vertebrate had achieved such weight efficiency in its skeletal structure.

Richard Braintree - Victim 19:
Richard's ghost haunts the building world in the game. When he first appears, he is standing on a ledge and falls off. Unlike the game's other ghosts, he does not float, but he attacks with great celerity and is able to teleport and "phase" across medium distances, making him a dangerous enemy. As a victim of an electric chair, Richard's skin is black and somewhat "fried", and his clothes are also burned and charred. As he walks, Richard keeps twitching and emitting static sounds, due to his electrocution. He moves erratically, even to the point where it seems he does a certain motion, such as swinging his crowbar, backwards.

I generated this 3D model using advanced Photogrammetry and other cutting edge technologies. The base dataset used to generate this model is from this Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO9z033d6Sc

Advanced technology and techniques: Video Upscaling Algorithims and video editing tools to greatly increase the quality of the original video. 3D Gaussian Splatting To Mesh from Kiri Engine Pro. Currently running the dataset on Metashape so if I obtain a better model I will upload it.

https://www.kiriengine.app/share/shareModel/68640acb5d4f4422b0e0dd1772b203e4

It was a very challenging endeavor but with persistency of someone within the spectrum, I challenged myself to complete this model. I pushed the limits of what's currently possible with technology.
