Progress on The Gorillas of Ballet.

This sculpting process has been a blast. Built the wire form using real gorilla skeleton references, then sculpted the foil and light clay from muscle reference so the anatomy is right before the pretty stuff. A heavy body up on one toe, reaching, looking back over his shoulder. My admiration for Rodin is the fuel. Where his figures surrender to the weight, mine rises out of it.

More muscle to sculpt, then the first bake. Follow for more.
