Andrew Williams "Gohmn"

Andrew Williams "Gohmn"


Andrew Williams "Gohmn" is a talented 3D creator. He used to be a street artist and a musician. He uses programs like Cinema4D, Octane Render and Photoshop to create surreal and 3D detailed worlds. The "Gohma"  came from a Zelda Boss back when he was in high school. Gohma is the first boss in Ocarina of Time, a game Andrew started playing but never gotten to beat. He then switched to  the name "Gohmn" when he first started to produce music. 

He's a really good artist in my opinion because I'm amazed something like below aren't real. At first I thought they were, but it was just digital.











“Inner Growth,” this piece was made using Cinema 4D, Photoshop and Octane Render.

Different Plaster Techniques

Different Plaster Techniques


     Plaster is the most commonly used casting material because its ease of use. If you put it in water it will start an exothermic reaction in the Plaster causing it to harden. Once applied it'll feel hard within 4 minutes, but it takes 2-3 days for it to dry completely. Plaster-of-Paris, the Plaster we're using in 3D art class, comes in various form: slab (only a part of circumference of a limb is incorporated), cast (the whole circumference of a limb), spica and brace. Plaster casts can be divided into 3 types: badly padded Plaster, unpadded Plaster and padded Plaster.

People Who Used Plaster In Their Artwork


"In 2012, Rachel Dein showed the owners of a flower-shop a plaster-cast tile she had made from a bouquet. They were impressed, and soon the UK artist began receiving commissions to make more of these modern “fossils.'" She presses flowers into clay. When their removed they leave perfect impressions. Then she pours a mixture of plaster and cement into the clay mold. 






Another person is Robert Taplin, who uses plaster in his artwork. It looks amazing.
