Interrogator Droid IT-O

noreply@blogger.com (Jeronimo Duarte Argerich) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 04:35:00 +0000

Remember the visually frightening droid in the Star wars: A New Hope movie, when Princess Leia is being questioned by Darth Vader in her prison cell? Remember that black sphere of death with a syringe that floated into her room to toture her? Well this is it!

I had a great time working on it, but it was quite difficult to make because of all of the attachements that it has and all the lines I had to carve. Other thing that it was fun to make was the base, because I had to do the design. It was almost all made with styrene plastic using the vacuum-forming technique. And the other little pieces are aluminum and bronze tubes.

I hope you like it!

This is a model I made for a Production company for the presentation of a new Colgate product. It has approximately 70cm (27.6 inches) in height and it was made with plastic. In one of the photos you can see the difference of height between a real water bottle and the model.

This is a fan Star Wars Trailer I did. The models like the Tie Fighter, the Droid Fightrer, the Probe Droid and the Trench Tower I made them from scatch, and the rest are pictures I took from the internet and film. And I put all together with After Effects.

This Tie Fighter is the second model I made from scratch. I used plastic styrene with the exception of some small parts I used from other model. I used the method of vacuum forming for the round part of the ship and the background I add it with Photoshop.

About Me

noreply@blogger.com (Jeronimo Duarte Argerich) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:40:00 +0000

Hi, I´m Jerome Duarte and I make sculptures and models for different collectible, toy and advertisement companies. Since beginning sculpting professionally in 2002, I have been fortunate to work with some of the best companies in the industry on many high-profile projects. Together with my former colleagues of the Gore Group, we have been able to push projects beyond our own expectations and as a result, we have become known for dynamic compositions, action poses and details. I sculpt in wax, Sculpey, Aves and other materials which help me to get the best look and detail I want for my work.

I am following my own path now as a freelance sculptor doing what I love to do, and I hope to keep doing it for a long time.
Thanks for stopping by!
