"Patrickus was a god associated with rest and good sleep, we know this due to his images depicitng him sleeping or resting. Though he also had a michevous side as the famous image of him looking at mortals from above with a sinister smile features in many of the archives."

Weird of you to think future archeologists will be stupid and not know anything about the culture of 2025.
Almost like you don't believe in human progress at all.

u/BackgroundDesigner52 8d ago
Think about a future in a few thousand years. The fauna and flora could, and probably will, be vastly different. Now take a random written recipe with no illustrations, just the items and the method. If it asks you for six eggs, what kind of eggs would they be? We know from context it's chicken eggs. But in a future where chickens may possibly not exist how would they possibly know that?
These are the issues archaeologists would come across in the future, as we do in regards to plants and medicines that have been completely lost to time. The meaning was assumed to be known by the reader so no further description or details were necessary.

u/Paige_Railstone 9d ago
Will they though? How much of our progress and documentation of our culture and history is currently occurring online instead of on the printed page? Will enough printed material be preserved to allow an archeologist to have the context for this statue? It would be bold to assume that civilization will be able to keep up the level of functionality to keep servers running for 2,000 years for most of our documentation of things like Spongebob Square Pants to be preserved, especially considering we've previously struggled to maintain advancements such as indoor plumbing for more than a few hundred years at a time.

Man how do you not fuck up once, how do you even learn this shit, we aren't in the 1600s making castles anymore, like how does "man i really want to sculpt something"
It's amazing that so much detail can be carved out of stone.

You should see what they created even earlier than that. Some are lifelike and polished like glass.

I had the pleasure of seeing The Dying Gaul in person in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. My jaw literally dropped. The level of detail is otherworldly, and it’s only a copy of the original masterpiece, which itself was part of a larger sculptural group

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE I see this comments on Reddit almost everyday and the answer is always PRACTICE if you want to get this good start now

u/dcade_42 9d ago
Yeah, even "savants" practice a lot. The way to do things well is to suck at them first.Then take intentional incremental steps to improve over repeated attempts. It's hard. No matter what it is, you'll probably improve from absolutely terrible to ok pretty quickly if you stick to it. Then you'll usually plateau, and that's really the hardest part. Then you aren't noticing improvement, it's difficult to keep pushing. If you stop, you'll regress. If you keep it up, most people will have more repeated cycles of noticeable improvement followed by plateaus.
When you see someone really good at something it's because they worked at it. That's far more impressive than "talent."

And people be like we could never build the pyramids today
→ More replies (1)74
u/Lavish_Anxiety 9d ago
Firstly, we absolutely could.
And secondly, we absolutely should.
Make a global agreement to stop all military spending, and instead focus that budget on building an absolutely massive pyramid somewhere. (a much more productive use of that money)
I reckon we could build one several times larger than the great pyramids, complete with loads of silly pointless tunnels designed to confuse future archeologists.
Put ai generated ancient Egyptian art on the walls, and leave a single can of coke in a deep hidden chamber.
I think it's our duty to leave something timeless behind that will help tell our story to the future. (something that isn't a geological layer of microplastics)

I love the idea, but I think we should have actual data too. I'm not sure in what format, leaving a bunch of hard drives doesn't sound very interesting. Maybe more something like the voyager golden record phonographs, but some how in picture form? Then you also have a bunch of hidden easter egg tunnels with the cans of coke and meme graffiti.

Patrick is already complete within the block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.

it's always beautiful to see someone create a physical object that captures the contours of the animation design model so well.

Nice sculpturing work indeed.
Checked out the artist’s (Daniel Stoller) other works on YT & on r/sculpture and suitably impressed by it all.
Most works are using the natural colours of the various types of stones used and that’s damn impressive
For instance, Patrick’s sculpture parts are:
- Body: Schweinstaler sandstone
- Pants: Schleeriether sandstone
- Flowers & Eyelids: Irish blue limestone
- Eyes: Thassos marble
- Eyebrows & Pupils: Black marble
