So my future Sister in Law is doing a cool project for her house. She hung a big blank canvas on her wall. She then handed out a lot of little canvases to friends to make art with. When she gets enough she plans to attach the little canvases to the larger one to make a big tiled art piece. I have more modeling skill than painting, so I decided to raid my bitz box for inspiration. I think the result is pretty cool, and since it uses a lot of gaming pieces, I thought I would share it with you guys.

Click here to see the (possibly NSFW) classic painting that served as my inspiration.

Ok, that's just cool! Sort of a 3d painting right?

**biztheclown**

Thanks! Yes, 3d art is cool. In addition to the Modigliani painting, it was also inspired by Louise Nevelson's work.

That's really cool!

**stormtitan**

Very well executed, thanks for sharing!

**BigToof**

Very cool. Thanks for the link, I could totally see the parallels after the link, not so much before hand.

**JediRaptor**

Haven't looked at the link yet, but just looking at the tile, it kinda looks like the drawing from Titanic....

**JediRaptor**

Cool, I was close, same pose, WAAAAY older painting....

Nicely done.

**biztheclown**

Cool guess. You were one of the few people who could tell it was a figure before seeing the "spoiler." Thanks for looking and commenting.

**JediRaptor**

Anytime, so were the eyes and...ahem..uh, can I say nipples?...made from old Sorry! or Parcheesi tokens?

**biztheclown**

Yes, ahem, they were. Not sure what exact game, as they were scattered in a bitz box.

**JediRaptor**

Very cool....again, nice work.

Looks like pieces from the board game 'Sorry!'
