My name’s Natalya Netselya and I’m an artist specialising in the medium of sand. I’ve been creating imagery in sand for almost five years now, but this is the first time I’ve created a piece inspired by a videogame. As Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception takes place in the Arabian desert, it provided the perfect backdrop for my sand art. It was fun for me to recreate an iconic character like Nathan Drake in some of the amazing settings from the latest game. I’m sure you’ll recognise some familiar sights from Uncharted 3, and I hope you enjoy watching me bring them to life in sand.

That blew me away amazing talent, which I could do something like that, a question is it a special type of sand you use i.e does it have to be very fine grain?

Amazing work Natalya, that really is amazing to watch those images be created. It’s very cool how an image can suddenly appear out of the sand like Drake does in that last scene. Also the ammo belt done in sand is great!

Armless Drake at 8:30! XD
Seriously though, amazing how much detail these artists get from sand. *applause* Must be hard to wipe such beautiful art off all the time though.

I can’t even make a frickin’ sand castle properly and this lady and those guys making that Uncharted sand sculpture a while back are doing lovely pieces of art with it all. I’m too darn impressed to be jealous though

The Sand Art is amazing
Kudos.
UC3 is already disappointing me, though. The player physics in the beta were so horrific that I won’t be purchasing the full game unless they seriously revise them. For an acrobatically-themed game, the controls were terribly ‘weighty’ and unresponsive. Amazing considering the perfection of the previous entries in the series.

@19 um what? The physics and controls felt improved to me. Certainly so much so that when I went back to Uncharted 2 after the beta ended I found it it too loose and tricky to get used to it for a lil while. U3 just felt more solid and responsive to me.

Wow… i don’t usually post on this blog, but that was so awe inspiring, i just had to. excellent stuff. amazing what you can do with sand and a lit background. i suppose the only danger with sand art is to make sure you don’t sneeze suddenly while doing it… LOL
anyway, Uncharted 3 is definitely top of my most wanted list… roll on Nov 2nd…
