Artist's Comments

Up until now, I've been able to get down on paper the ideas for stuff that I see in my head. For some reason, every time I tried to draw my idea for Ademar Castle, it never looked right.

I decided to try to sculpt it instead, and this is what came out. I never thought I'd be able to do conceptual work in sculpey, but now I might try it more often!

This is Ademar Castle from my upcoming comic The Chronicles of Ademar. It is made up of five separate trees, all twisted and grown around each other. The buildings were built onto the outside of the trees and supporting branches, with the area in the center of the trees hollowed out and built up to be a tower. The entire structure is huge (you can see the scale by the windows on the sides of all the buildings).

I'll be basing all of my drawings and sketches of the castle on this sculpture from this point on. I should have the website relaunched soon, since I plan on producing pages starting in the next couple weeks.

The main material is super sculpey, painted with acrylics. The fake foliage is a mix of lichen and synthetic plants I bought from a local train hobby shop in Savannah (Bull Street Station). Total production time: a whole ton of hours and three sore necks.

Wow, this is wonderful! It looks so much better in person though, these pictures don't do justice.

I love the colors that you chose they are very warm and I am also really glad you didn't go to crazy with the bushes because I would have hated for them to take away from the overall appearance of that good lookin' tree, but you added just the right amount :-) bravo!

Thanks, sweetie. I owe you one for telling me not to cover too much of the roots. I had a feeling I was starting to get a little crazy with the foliage when I started putting glue everywhere! :D
