Quake 3 Biker Character
Woodcarving by Todd Wisell
|
A friend of mine (Todd Wisell) who is learning wood carving asked me if there was something that I would be interested in having carved out of wood. I had helped him with some stuff and gave him a TV card that I had that I wasn't using. I couldn't decide what I would like to have carved. He mentioned possibly a cartoon character and I then thought about the character that I use when I play Quake 3. Most of the time when I play Quake 3 I use the Biker model. I took some screen shots of the Biker model using a Quake 3 Model Viewer and gave them to Todd. He liked the idea and thought it would be an interesting challenge for him. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

At the New England Wood Carvers Annual Competition sporting a blue ribbon. (10/19/08) Todd entered 3 carvings, and all of them got a blue ribbon. He now has to move to the expert class. On 10/23 Todd handed over the carving to me. His project turned out so much better than I expected. I'm honored that he trusts me to take care of his carving. To me it's priceless. I can't go out and buy anything like this. |
