| 9 Jul 2002 |  Naszbardt Strudelrodzer | Loading... Hi "anonymus", dear son (of my alter-ego -?-), nice to get notice of you ... hehehe. I am proud to show up here. Unfortunately, in real life I am not looking half that interesting than as orc ... though, looking at a mirror, I notice hardly any difference. ... ;-)  Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Thanks for the comment, Jupp, excuse me, Naszbardt. (And thank you for robbing my caravan. Hope you don't object that next round my army will drop in for lunch.  )" | |
| 18 Jul 2002 | Erin Dooley | Loading... Wow. This is simply amazing... clay is SO hard to work with (the most I've ever managed to make out of it was a really lopsided walrus) and the amount of detail and realism you are able to achieve is just incredible. Sad that we are only able to see pictures. Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Thanks. But to be honest, one of the big advantages of the air-drying clay is the possibility to work with it after drying, too. And who knows, maybe holography will sometimes such advanced that it enables me to show whole sculptures. " | |
| 28 Jul 2002 | Sharon 'the silver butterflai' Betterton | Loading... This is amazing! I, having worked with clay and ended up chewing on my own arm rather than go any further, know how hard it is to get such insane detail in... you RULE! I need to go drool over more of your work... [just in passing i think you should go work for a big movie company and convince them to do the hobbit in claymation  !] Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Wow, what a comment. Thanks, but I have to admit that I saw some people in Elfwood who are as good as myself with sculpture and some even better. " | |
| 7 Aug 2002 | Jaide Jaide@heh...com> | Loading... Skull on the helm! I love that, hehe and the runes on the shield are awesome. I've always wanted to draw something with runes, not sure why, just runes are so cryptic. Of course I also like the straps on his legs, that's just the kind detail I really enjoy. The axe as well heh, who can look at this sculpture and not notice the axe? It's great, the details on it are so tiny, and the shaft of the axe isn't plain at all. Great job on this sculpture, it's one of the coolest  Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Thank you! I'm not unhappy with this one myself. And it's great you like his axe. This has been the first part I finished of this sculpture and it took me nearly five hours from beginning until painting was finished." | |
| 21 Aug 2002 |  Nathan Neil Phillips | Loading... I love the details in this. I've wanted to make something like this for years. What kind of armature do you use? Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Thanks for the comment and let me know as soon as you post a picture of the sculpture you will hopefully do (I saw that you have some experience with sculpting yourself)! In case of your question concerning armature I have a little translation problem. If I'm correct and you want to know how I fasten my figures to any basis to help them standing upright I'm able to answer 'nothing'. All my figures are balanced and stand by themselves on their own feet. Therefore I start with a wire skeleton and bend it until it stands without help. Only their weapons are sometimes a sort of third leg. Please let me know if I totally misunderstood your question." | |
| 22 Aug 2002 | Brita Rae Winquist | Loading... That is wicked! You reek of talent!! This is great! Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Thanks. I'm glad you like my work." | |
| 16 Oct 2002 |  Anna Olender | Loading... What do you use to make the weapons?? I cant imagine somehting made of clay having such rigid, symetrical shape.. Beutiful detail, esp on the shield and his face, i lov ehis crouching stance! Oliver Jöhnk replies: "The handle of the axe is a short pole of wood, but the rest is made of air-drying clay. After drying I've been able to whet the axe before painting. And thank you for the nice comment!" | |
| 3 Nov 2002 | Alisa Amaris | Loading... Ooh, ooh, sculptures!!! Such a rarity in the woods! These are truly breathtaking! *dashes off to look at the rest* Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Thank you! I'm glad you like my work." | |
| 1 Jun 2004 |  Kevin Michael Burke | Loading... I really love all the detail. It shows that you put a lot of time and care into making your unique sculptures. There is so much to admire.  Oliver Jöhnk replies: "Thank you very much. If there's an idea in my head I try to make it come true. Unfortunately my ideas are often very detailed. Sometimes that detailed that I doubt to be able to make them come true at all. " | |
