Glass Sculptures

This week, I decided to do a blog entry on glass sculptures since I'd seen a few before and they'd all turned out pretty interesting. So, I went on google images and started searching, coming away very satisfied with what I'd found.




I really like this piece because of its color and shape. It almost feels like it's on fire, while looking cool (temperature-wise) and smooth. It's really an interesting bit of art to look at.

This is another cool piece. It takes on the appearance of a jellyfish encased in glass. Apart from the color of the creature, my favorite thing about this piece is that, while it does look trapped inside glass, it also looks like it could be in water because of the bubbles surrounding it. This is one of the more interesting pieces that I've seen thus far.

Cosplay

I love costumes. There's just something about pretending to be someone other than yourself that's a load of fun. Looking at a well-done costume is very satisfying as well. These two pictures make perfect examples. The first one is of a random Mandalorian from the Star Wars universe. Star Wars cosplayers tend to be very detailed with their costumes, even though many of them aren't actually in any of the films; most of the costumes that I've seen have come straight from peoples' imaginations.The level of detail they are able to achieve is also very impressive. The second picture is actually someone cosplaying as a video game character from the game "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt." Getting these costumes right can be very tricky because of all the various things that go into it. Creating them takes a lot of time, effort, and patience. The person doing this particular cosplay is absolutely doing it right. This is exactly what I would expect this character to look like in real life. the attention to detail on the swords is probably one of the most impressive bits of costuming that I've ever seen.
