So! For the past few weeks in one of my classes we have been working on a little bit of 3D art. Sculptures to be exact. It all started out with some research, some concepting, then rough sketches.
We had to combine three animals together into a human figure. I chose three prehistoric creatures that barely anyone knows of...
These are the creatures...
So... I started off by referencing these creatures and combining their various traits in on various parts of the female form. Giving myself plenty of options as usual, I came up here with many possible design options.
Then, I moved onto more finalized sketches.... Followed by a turn around. The turn around and the full body sketch, don't nessesarily reflect what the final product will look like, but they give me a clear direction for which I can use for measurement while I sculpt. Note also, that the three point turn around is drawn to the actual size of the sculpture. 14 inches.
And so! After a few weeks of sculpting here are some in progress shots of the sculpture. So so so so much more needs to be done. Hands, feet, the basic head shape and shapes of the exoskeleton features are only blocked in roughly... The ribs that I just blocked on roughly today, need to be adjusted to correctly accentuate the contours of her body, as well as get downsized and shaved down a bit... That way they don't subtract from her overall form.A lot more needs working on... But all in all... For my very first sculpture... progress is progress. It shall get there.
Stay tuned for the finalized versions soon to come in the coming weeks!
