For my Knight Silence project, I worked this time on a proposal for an equestrian statue.
The idea was not to create a realistic horse, or even a simple stylized horse. The animal is deliberately surrealist: it retains the nobility and posture of a classic equestrian statue, but its anatomy is out of place, almost impossible, as if the silence itself had distorted the shape of the horse. He becomes a ceremonial creature, at once a mount, a reliquary and an apparition.
The material evokes a light, ancient, slightly worn stone, like a sculpture that has already stood the test of time. I like this contrast between the very traditional monumentality of the base and the strange, almost mental, character of the animal.
An important detail is found on the cast of the saddle: an illuminated letter S, for Silence. I wanted this sign to be not just a logo, but almost a heraldic mark, a discreet clue that connects the statue to the world of the character.
I then integrated this 3D rendering into a scene in the Tuileries Gardens, on a beautiful summer day. The Parisian décor, luminous and very real, allows us to measure the discrepancy: an impossible sculpture, but installed as if it naturally belonged to the public space.
Personal 3D project — rendering and integration around the Silent Knight.
Sculpted with Nomad/Ipad, then Zbrush. Some elements have been made with sketchup.

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.

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
