Where have you been !!? je me permets de dire que je me suis inquiété .
Je regarderai la pièce à l'occase.

A few weeks ago I was at the Métiers d'Art Salon at the Grand Palais.
https://www.revelations-grandpalais.com/exposters/

I flashed on a lot of work and in particular a table/armchair set. And as I am a big fool, I did not note the names of the craftsmen and I do not find them in the list of exhibitors .... I put two images of the whole in question at the end.
The character is a downloaded model, ditto for the elements on the desktop (pens, smartphone, croissants, mug)

Thanks a lot Mike for your comments here .

Here is my new project, I used the cat's head of my previous project.

After coming across the 'Smart Max' figurines,

Miniset.net - Miniatures Collectors Guide

Miniset.net - Miniatures Collectors Guide (miniset.net)

I decided, for my next 3D project, to create one. 'Aida as Fritza,' Aïda is my goddaughter . Fritza being one of the avatars used in Aida's dreams. With Whoopsie the Death Eater, a reformed maggot and Fritza's sidekick. In this world, Fritza has a magical Swiss cheese backpack , with each hole capable of holding an impressive amount of objects. She also has a tongue tail, her helmet is an inverted fishbowl, and her weapon of choice is bolas made of demon eyes.
Whoopsie's backpack is a downloaded model.

"The cook of the red cat." The character and the chicken are downloaded models. I changed the pattern of the dress. This project was created with Blender, Sketchup, Nomad (iPad), FilterForge, Inkscape. You can download the images in a larger size at this link.

@Rich-O-Brien

Yes indeed, a lot of details on this one. On the deck it is not a troll but a spider character, you can see his web below
You might think that the general atmosphere is rather negative but looking at a little better, maybe not.
The butterflies on the river chose the ark of the bridge without spider web, the skulls in the basket are cheerfully colorful, the two characters on the bench have a head on fire, but this fire does not run the vine above, etc.
There is only the round of children who points to the one who falls who for me is really negative.

"Virum 's school" The final.
Based on an illustration in the hallways of a Danish high school during a school trip. I modeled the architecture in Blender and the rest in Sketchup. The characters and many details were added in 2D via Procreate/iPad. The animals were sculpted with Nomad/Procreate.

Larger version at this link https://zupimages.net/up/25/21/tnma.jpg

I placed the original illustration and the original illustration with my edits at the end.

@tuna1957 thanks !!!

@Mike-Amos Yes indeed, it may looks likt that. first I wanted to do something like the first christians .

My new project 'La Vierge à la Mer ' , "Virgin with a sea", don't how to translate that actually. There is a game between the french words mer(sea) and mère(mother).

A few weeks ago I was advised this youtubeur https://www.youtube.com/c/Bandesdessinées (in french, unfortunately) who made videos on art history, among others.

Absolutely exciting. In one of his videos he spoke of the Trocadéro Heritage Museum(Paris,France) , moldings of tympanum of Romanesque churches, casts of medieval statues etc. I went there last Sunday, big big slap. Really magnificent, medieval tympanum integrated into the scenography, really damn. The works presented inspired me enormously.
I will start with a work imposed by the statues of the last image. An Annunciation.
In my version, the Archangel Gabriel is shown in the form of a winged tornado and the Virgin is at the end of her pregnancy her belly is a pregnant sea filled with fishes. The metaphor is obviously the amniotic fluid which becomes a sea from which Christians come (fish), brothers of Christ.

@Mike-Amos yes, quite shiny.

@L-i-am thanks a lot
I watched the videos . The bodypaint is very interesting. I am not very into this kind of music, I prefer stuff like Swans ou Godspeed You Black Emperor. But the visuals are good.

Reliquary concept for the amniotic fluid of the Virgin.
The idea is that at the time of the loss of water, God did not allow them to touch the soil but that they remain in levitation in order to be recovered.

'Baby Jesus'. Smartphone multi -fittings concept available in places of worship. The smartphone is dissociated with the base once unlocked.
There is a parallel between the umbilical cord and a wired charger.
Sculpted with Nomad/iPad.
The body comes from Makehuman.
The halo was modeled with sketchup.

I just walk my path.

'The Luster-Forceps' Last altar for my version of Notre Dame dedicated to the Virgin at the end of pregnancy.
Face and hands are a downloaded model.
Ditto for the costume model where I only took care of textures and shading (material).
No Sketchup on this one but I still post it here is that's ok.

Last 3D project, still related to the interior of the cathedral dedicated to the Virgin at the end of her pregnancy. I had the idea of ​​an illustration of the Virgin opening her belly like a window and revealing Christ to humanity. Being a little in the vagueness as to the composition etc I asked an AI to generate images-ideas. I started from one of the proposals (last image) for this work. What I particularly appreciated in the AI ​​proposition is that we could interpret the image as a 3D/2D mixture, what I did.
The illustration of the Virgin herself was carried out with Procreate/iPad.
Body of the christ made with Makehuman. Head sculpted with Nomad.Ipad.
I also integrated 3D scans from low reliefs in the upper corners.

I put some pictures of white so that we can better realize 3D.

@L i am droit au coeur , as we say in french. Thanks a lot

@Mike Amos . You are so welcome here

Another altar project.
The official is a machine with a child's head (downloaded model). The chalice always takes up the idea of ​​amniotic fluid.
The beam that delimits the altar place is also incense. The idea of ​​the circle takes up the idea of ​​the pregnant belly, the matrix. The incense cubes have a meaning according to their arrangement in the enclosure. The robot's hands and feet are downloaded models.
The 'pedestal' takes up the idea of ​​cells that agglutinate to form a body.

thanks . Yes the shader is a mix between two marble shaders , one with sss , one without sss, based on AO. The sss is in the hollows.

Merci bien mister Amos.

Third altar concept. On the theme of the frog as a symbol of the matrix, fertility and birth (water to earth).
The headdress symbolizes the matrix and the moon. The cape seems to be made up of eggs.
The frog was carved with Nomad/iPad.
The character is a downloaded model to which I just changed the texture of the dress.

Altar, second project.
Simpler, more conceptual.
The chalice is a simple bowl collecting amniotic water. It is placed on a incense nest.
The stones of the altar and those on the fences -uterine by is balanced.
The two large branches are also downloaded models and are also incense.
The nun is a downloaded model to which I added two personal illustrations to texture them.
I actually didn't used Sketchup for this one but I still post it here. Tell me if I should supress this post.

First altar.
In this matrix cathedral, I choose that the officials are women.
The receptacle on the table replaces the calyx filled with blood. This time it will be filled with water to symbolize the amniotic fluid. And preferably collected via rain or dew. He is in the form of a pregnant woman's belly.
The priestess was downloaded.
I saw a year a year ago a video of Chinese scientists who would have invented an invisible material https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jbnc-8fsw
I opted for this material in order to increase the character's spiritual symbolism.

Nice owl. And the symbolism works.

@Mike. Exactly . In this case, it means the preacher speaks from the Heart of God.

The last concept of pulpit for my project by Notre Dame.
The heart is a model downloaded and transformed in Blender.
The preacher goes up the stairs and speaks from the top platform.

Thanks Mike.

3/4 pulpit.
Inspired by the Dolce & Gabbana exhibition in Paris.

Always from the concept of heart.
At the base are 4 feet on the theme of the 4 evangelists (human, eagle, lion and bull).
The angel at the top is a robot making the preaching ordered.

Concept of 2/4 pulpit for the interior of my version of Notre Dame.

During the sermons, the mouth at the top of the pulpit, moves and gives the illusion of speech. Ditto for the eye.
As for the previous one, the sound of the arteries.
The infinite sign/Mobius ribbon at the top represents an angel.

The heart is a 3D model of anatomical heart downloaded and reworked in Zbrush. It expresses the idea of ​​transformation of the heart of stone into a heart of flesh (gold symbolizing divine love).

What you described is full of light. I will keep that story of heart "on" and heart "off" by reversing it . I am pretty sure it can be used in a piece of (he)art. Thanks for sharing it here.
