At the production site of massivecut – 3D XBOX 360 Faceplate

Hi there; it’s 2 in the night and André and Pepe started hours ago
with the production of the caribbiean series. I joined them to give
feedbacks and entertain them during the long night. So what’s this
all about?
Art on game consoles, art on xbox 360. Its about giving the cold skin of
the xbox a new look and feeling. We try to transport the worlds of
our favorit games to the living rooms. So we decided to design and
produce handmade 3D-XBox 360 Faceplates.
All series will be limited to a number of pieces. We start with our
“treasure island” series! All plates are handmade and handpainted
and every one has a unique look. So you like to have a special
artwork for your xbox-case? we’ll post soon the first pictures
of the finished treasure islands…

see the finished faceplates now on www.massivecut.com and get one on etsy

- in process – MASSIVECUT.com page template

well, exhausting times…soon we have to move house, or should i say change the clothes :). under pressure work is often more fun&challenge for me. i have designed in since two nights our new webpage. on the cutout you see the rough template frames are set, the type and logo comes next week…so everybody is ready to move on?

- in process – evil devil sculpting

…sorry for so long no posting, i’ve got some new clay and now i’m totally addicted to my modelling works and forgot to show you what’s upcomming. here are some teasers of the evil demon i’m carving (i spend my last nights on him ;). he’s only rough cutted and i try to find the final form for his mouth…i’ll post an update with teeth and more detailed textures soon…

- in process – grinning skull prototype

…today finished and painted, wath u think? the skull is about 1 1/2 inches small and a nice add-on for plain surfaces. but still in progress and i think i will put this piece on a metall emblem.

 

- in process – more 360 degree arrows for xbox faceplates

still in progress, but i think the rough-cut is done…i have to carve the middle part structur more evenly to get the attention on the flow arround the power button. maybe i will lighten the arrows above a bit, they point in every direction and disturb the main flow too much.

this stencil background from the theme “movement” was my inspiration for this kind of faceplate style. i have sprayed it on canvas a few years ago for one of my portfolio’s.

- in process – carving on 360° arrow style faceplate

early in the morning…it’s time to post here the some pic’s of my xbox 360 degree arrow style. i still have to go closer to the power button with more arrows and find a way to smooth out on the upper part…but first i have to get some sleep now :)

- in process – made a blood splatter in 3D (prototype moulding)

a few days ago i made a bloody thing to carry out tests and see what’s possible with casting molds. i’ve tried different prototype shapings and mouldings. see here the some images of my prototype. i have to say i was quite surprised with the result (srry about the bad picture quality, they are only cellphone fotos). my bloodstain looks nice on nearly every surface. in fact, i have first concepted the blood splatter for the xbox 360 front, but now it turn’s out as a thing for plain surfaces like my powerbook ;-).

the “bloody splatter” is limited to 200 pieces – now ready for shipping -> READ MORE

- in process – art nouveau artwork for xbox 360°

i’m a huge fan of the art nouveau epoche because it was so kitschy ;-) here is a teaser what’s in process: one of my sketch sheets that i’m working on with some ideas for a new flower style… more coming soon.
