Merci Pipile, on peut voir ça comme ça en effet
The Celestial Harp — Knight Silence project
Here are some early 3D renders of the harp designed for my character, the Knight Silence.
The figure in the center is only a temporary mannequin for now. It is there to show the scale of the instrument and where the knight will stand in relation to it.
The harp floats around the character like a sacred architecture: part musical instrument, part reliquary, part celestial mechanism. Its structure is complex, almost chaotic, with blades, tensions, hidden connections and ornamental fragments that seem to follow a logic we cannot fully read.
The instrument has three layers of strings, each one acting on a different spiritual layer. The idea is not simply that the knight plays music, but that the harp allows him to act upon invisible planes: matter, soul, memory and fate.
I imagine it as a kind of celestial chaos: not pure disorder, but a system of divine mechanisms, laws and hidden forces that remain beyond human understanding.
The harp was created using Nomad on iPad, SketchUp, ZBrush and Blender.

Solved. Some DNS issues. Thanks Pipile

Cracking. Always innovative and spectacular in execution. Tres bon.

Merci beaucoup Mike. Thanks a lot
The Knight Called Silence, the final version.
The first three images were generated with AI from 3D renders.
You can download the high-resolution images here:AI text, edited by me.
For some time now, I have been developing a 3D project around the Knight Called Silence, as a counterpart to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse I created previously.
Silence is an ambiguous character, somewhere between a medieval figure, a sacred apparition, and an almost mechanical being. In the legend, Silence is a woman raised and presented as a man: I wanted to preserve that tension in the design, with an androgynous, hieratic silhouette that is difficult to classify. The armor is not merely protection: it becomes a second skin, a ritual object, almost alive.
Around the character, I am building an entire universe.
First, there is the Celestial Harp, an immense structure surrounding the knight. It is not conceived as a simple instrument, but as a spiritual machine: its different layers of strings act on several invisible levels of reality, the Celestial Spheres. It represents a form of divine chaos, a system whose laws exist but remain hidden from humans.
The project was created in 3D using several tools: Nomad Sculpt on iPad, SketchUp, ZBrush, and Blender.
Silence is not merely a knight. It is an apparition. A calm force. A figure of passage between the visible and the invisible, between gender, the sacred, war, music, and metamorphosis.

The Lion, larger version available here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/bz4vs0w0u8p6wzv/Lion.zip/fileAI text
After Aries, I’m continuing my series of Stands (Jojo bizarre"s adventure, Crusaders) inspired by the European zodiac signs with Leo.
The idea remains the same: to imagine each sign not simply as a personification, but as an autonomous entity, a Stand with its own presence, energy, and visual logic.
For this Leo, I wanted to move away from the classic heroic or solar feline. The character became a kind of cat-warrior, at once elegant, martial, and slightly unsettling. It is shown in the momentum of a spectacular kick, facing a head suspended in mid-air.
This head represents a major capitalist boss, caricatured as a massive, sardonic face wearing a top hat and smoking a large cigar. This is the figure the Stand is fighting: a deliberately theatrical, satirical, and symbolic image.
The character’s model is inspired by a friend’s cat, which gives the project a more personal starting point. The cat’s body comes from MakeHuman. The rest was created with Nomad on iPad, SketchUp, ZBrush, and Filter Forge for the textures and patterns.
The final render, set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk environment, comes from AI work based on a photo and 3D renders of the project.
As often, AI is not the sole starting point here, but rather a staging step: it allows me to place the sculpture back into a broader narrative context, like a poster or a scene taken from an imaginary universe.

I’m finally posting the final render of my Taurus Stand, part of my series inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, but reimagined around the Western zodiac signs.
For this project, I first asked an AI to generate Art Nouveau buildings images based on the theme of the bull, and then on the sacred Hindu cow. I selected four concepts and combined them through photomontage to create a modeling reference for the project (shown in the last image).
The architecture was created in SketchUp, the sculptures were made in Nomad on iPad, and everything was then assembled and rendered in Blender using Cycles.
The two characters and the trees are models downloaded from the internet.
I’m posting both a beauty render and a clay render here, to give a clearer view of how the image and the volumes were constructed.
This Taurus therefore takes the form of an Art Nouveau building, filled with references to the sacred Hindu cow, with the façade designed as a sculptural work in its own right.

Another silk purse. You ARE the Jedi master.

Alors on fait de l'Ia de plus en plus!
Très cool, très propre, dans le bon sens du terme, tout ça! Bravo!
Comme d'habitude ce sont ceux qui ont la fibre artistique qui vont le plus en profiter!
On se demande ce que Gaudi en aurait fait!
Un peu comme cette façade j'en suis sûr!
Bon après il faut la réaliser, c'est une autre paire de manches! -
@mike-amos I didn't know the expression " You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" . That' means a lot to me , Mike. May the Force be with you !
@pilou Yes, it was quite complicated to model

Pictures generated by IA from my 3d renders in Blender.
Text IA.Here is a new set of images based on my Taurus building, part of my series of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure-inspired Stands reinterpreted through the European zodiac.
The original building was modeled in SketchUp, with additional sculpting work done in Nomad on iPad, then assembled and rendered in Blender/Cycles.
For this new experiment, I used my own 3D renders as a strict architectural base and asked AI to develop different scenes from them. One important rule throughout the process was to preserve the geometry of the building as much as possible. The AI was mainly used to reinterpret materials, improve photorealism, change the lighting and atmosphere, and add characters or narrative elements.
The first group is in color, with a more magical and extravagant atmosphere. The building becomes inhabited by strange creatures and characters: a unicorn-headed butler welcoming children, a cloud-being pouring a rainbow from a champagne coupe, an Indian princess with a hummingbird-headed prince, a moonlit hive with silver-and-blue bees and a strange smoke filled with eyes, or a crocodile postman delivering a sealed parchment to an old king drinking chai on his balcony.
For the second group I completely changed direction and switched to black and white. I wanted something much darker and more unsettling, inspired by the atmosphere of old spooky cartoons from the late 1920s and early 1930s, but imagined as if those worlds existed in real life.
IA added strong grain, dramatic lighting and a slightly old-film look. The building is then invaded by ghostly figures, spider webs, skull-headed doves, violent thunderstorms, giant carnivorous plants and insects, or a strange party where all the guests wear black bodysuits painted with skeleton bones while hundreds of candles melt over the façade.
So the basic architecture remains the same, but each render becomes a small scene with its own story and atmosphere.
It was also an interesting way for me to use AI not as a substitute for the 3D work, but as a tool for art direction, lighting, material exploration and visual storytelling on top of an existing model.
