Artist's Words
Color designation: First edition illustrator of the Apple Daily, Mr. Chen Yuan-Zhi
"Awesome! The painted product exceeded expectations."
About the Creation Process
The general design of this "Divine Comedy: Inferno" series was handled by renowned sculptor, animator, and glass craftsman, and founder of Taiwan's model forum "GKANDMAKE", Mr. Jia Long-Qi. Regarding the challenges of this creation:
"The difficulty in this project lies in the design and layout of the ultra-thin dial. The most challenging aspect was arranging the skulls in a radial pattern and distributing the geometric base. Beyond the 2-3mm space limitation and adjustments for perspective, the entire visual effect had to consider depth layering. We achieved this through a 0.3mm ultra-thin casting, creating a highly layered visual effect within this extremely limited space."
"This work has received praise and recognition from collectors both locally and internationally. We believe it will become a representative piece of the brand in the future."
About the Brass Paintings
The first painter of the brass version is Taiwan's model painter, Mr. Zhao Jia-Mi.
"This series uses the characteristics of paint, intentionally layering fluorescent effects. Due to the interaction of colors and transparency during painting, we need to find a coordinated color palette through experience and judgment. Each set of painting techniques will be unique, and the back of the dial will also be signed after completion. Additionally, digital certificates will be issued for this project to enhance the artistic authenticity and collectible value of the pieces."
"We hope that every detail will amaze collectors."
The second artist responsible for the brass paint job is Taiwan's model painting studio, Green Leaf Creation Workshop, led by Mr. Green Leaf.
"Some of the models feature both luminous and fluorescent variations. With the addition of normal light sources, we had to design three different color combinations. The challenge was balancing the theme in different lighting environments while ensuring the aesthetic of the color scheme. This required repeated testing and adjustments under various lighting conditions until the final satisfactory results were achieved."
"We hope these pieces will accompany collectors through various stages of life."
Product Philosophy
Dante's "Divine Comedy," a work from 700 years ago, influenced countless creations in the Renaissance and beyond. Cultural historian Jean-Pierre Barricelli (1912-1993) stated in the 1996 "Dante Studies":
"Artists using different media have shown rich responses to the 'Divine Comedy,' and this enthusiasm even surpasses that of the Bible."
In the novel, Dante imagines entering a dark forest, where he meets the Roman poet Virgil, who accompanies him through Hell and Purgatory. Dante then meets Beatrice, the 24-year-old woman he loves and who has passed away young, who guides him into Heaven and grants him redemption.
Creation Period and Techniques
This creation cycle has taken two years. While the final results are visible, every line and direction in the sculpture was the product of intense team discussions. The use of 3D modeling and miniaturized casting has created this highly detailed and dimensional work. Thanks to Taiwan's veteran model designer Mr. Jia Long-Qi, the technique of miniature segmentation allowed the ultra-thin dial metal to appear thick, incorporating many technical aspects.
Artisan Crafting Notes
Regarding the paint and color:
Since the piece is entirely hand-painted, the colors in the photographs may differ slightly due to environmental lighting, flash, or natural sunlight, and different screen displays may also affect color accuracy. Each color mix during painting will have slight individual differences. Thus, the final color will be confirmed based on the paint master, assembly personnel, and the brand's management. The actual shipped colors will be considered the final representation.
Regarding miniaturized casting:
Miniaturized casting is a precise deformation process that uses metal flow to create fine engraving effects. Due to the manual polishing, slight variations in symmetry, angles, and fine details such as flower petals, bug horns, and leaf tips may occur. We ask for your understanding.
