Contest 245: Sagrada Familia
As you may know I was in Barcelona last week, and spent some time inside Gaudi's wonderful unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia - a vast stone cathedral built in his bizarre, organic style. Over the main entrance is this rather fine group carving: 
The figures are beautifully stylized. The pair that most caught my eye were the two solider-like figures on the left - they struck me as figures that would have seemed well at home in Star Wars. Of course, they'd need to be made of something other than stone. Care to oblige? High res cutout is here. +++ I may be a little late with my write-up again next week. I'm off to Norway to give a lecture at a Photoshop conference in Oslo, and won't be back until late on Thursday. Forgive me if I sleep in on Friday morning! |

This should be fun, Hope your lecture is a success Steve. Let me know when you're doing one in the midlands (hint hint)  Alot less glamorous i know but it would be just as appreciated.

Re: Contest 245: Sagrada Familia
I was thinking exactly the same thing myself Josephine, I will leave that one to you though I'm going to have enough trouble making the other figure look reasonable without having to turn a stone face into flesh.
Good luck and look forward to your Montage ( No pressure LOL). Wayne _________________ Justice for the '96 YNWA |

Based off that link, I'm guessing the conference may not be in English...how many languages do you speak? |

Curse you puny Earthlings. Never again will you mock the Mighty Zwark’s very slightly droopy light sabre!
