Metal sculptures, when constructed in the likeness of various characters, are insanely impressive, especially when they end up looking so much like the subject they’re being modeled after. This representation of Deadpool kind of has a Spider-Man look around the eyes, and thanks to the manner in which he was put together, but overall he looks absolutely impressive since someone really put the work in on this thing. But learning that the sculpture was made from recycled metal is kind of amazing since by all accounts a lot of metal pieces probably need to be shaped and molded to fit this kind of sculpture. Some that are used might not be fine the way they are and will need to be put on the grinder, the sander, or even have extraneous bits chopped off of them from time to time. But this kind of impressive workmanships isn’t hard to appreciate, though the cost might be through the roof since the amount of labor is likely to be extensive and the materials might have cost a pretty penny as well, though that’s something that one would want to ask the artist about. For the amount of detail put into this thing though, one can’t help but think that a high price would be worth it simply because it’s likely that the artist put a great deal of themselves into this.
Just thinking of all the work it took to make this sculpture is mind-boggling since there are probably a dozen tricks or more that the artist knows to get the right bend, to make each piece fit with the next to get the effect they were after. Looking closely at the surface of the sculpture it’s very easy to see the confusing and very piecemeal way that this was put together since a lot of the stuff that went into this piece isn’t exactly uniform from one piece to the next, but it was still blended together in a way that makes sense and in a way makes it look like a steampunk version of Deadpool that one might hope to see in a comic book or even in a movie at one point. This last part isn’t too likely since even with everything that movie artists can do this type of suit would be insanely difficult to make, not to mention the fact that anyone on the inside of it would probably be a little miserable.
This is the type of piece that one might buy and put in the corner where people would be instructed to look at it but not play with it since, despite the feeling that it’s put together in a very solid fashion, it’s also likely that too much jostling around might not be a good idea. But it does feel as though the merc with a mouth might actually find this kind of appealing simply because one thing Deadpool has is a sense of humor and a great deal of appreciation for his own image at times. One can easily imagine that Ryan Reynolds would love to see this imagery and might even think that it’s worth putting in a museum or exhibit for everyone to see. But again, the cost has to be kind of insane due to the materials and the time it had to take to first piece and then weld it all together. Just imagine the aches and pains that one might have to go through in order to get everything just right. Hell, my body aches just thinking about all the time it would take to finish this piece. And on top of that, painting it would be necessary as well.
Painting might actually be the easy part though since it feels as though one could come along with a roll of paper and masking tape and do the job, or perhaps each part was painted before it was assembled. That would be kind of simple to think about, especially since any touch-up might be easier to accomplish afterward. Just thinking about where to put this thing when all was said and done with though is kind of difficult since one would need a fairly big room to put this piece in a corner where it would sit as a conversation piece.
With another Deadpool movie supposedly coming despite the fact that Deadpool is now owned by Disney, it’s not hard to think that some people might still have the character on the brain since he’s a hard guy to forget. But when thinking about what it would take to create something like this it’s best to think if a person has the tools, the time, and of course, the patience. If all those things are easy to check off then go for it and remember, always use maximum effort.
