Tch...yeah. I remember him...the minotaur.so smooth...im still in the mindset of wanting to cover everything in minute details, where sculpts like that are so good for being strong enough to not need overdoing.You havent seen Steves sculpts!!!!

Ive flattened out his face as much as I can because I think of everything, that was the part I was least happy with. I got Ryan Kingsliens character modelling book through the post yesterday, which from the little ive flicked through it so far, looks to have some good reference for anatomy, which I might look at to try and help me rebuild the face. Although the character he builds is female, Im sure some of the foundational sculpting tips I can apply to this.
But then...
Had to take my cat to the vets, she was struggling for breath recently, getting very old.....she was 17 and a half...She started having trouble breathing in the waiting room, and died a couple of minutes later. Awful. Such a sad day. So Ive rather lost my appetite. May continue later.

I did a lot of work yesterday in the end. I started on the face, and used that Ryan Kingslien book to help rebuild it in terms of its basic shape. He's pretty expressionless but I think I prefer it to how it was before.
Then I moved onto the body and spent alot of time chiselling away at the legs in particular. The thighs are now my biggest issue with it. Havnt even started on the hands and feet really. I think Im quite pleased with him from the waist up but theres still alot of work to be done. I might repose his fingers a little more also.

I wanna get his shorts right, but I cant find any decent reference for what I have in mind. Have stuck them on him but dont like the way they are going so will probably start them from scratch...
