Me and James thought that the Buffalo head project went so well that we had to develope the head into a whole Buffalo sculpture! This was a lot more challenging as the whole piece was to be 3D and there are no designs at all for the rest of its body.
A lot of initial sketch work was done and we decided on a skellington feel for the piece.
for this I used a new teqhnique to make a wire model first. This has proven to be an extremely worthwhile thing to do. I was able to easily change and try out ideas in a full sized mock up.
You can see below how the final piece was copied from the wire model
Several months later he was ready and I was so proud!
This is my favourate angle of the Buffalo, from the back. you can really see the attention to detail as well as his beautiful curves.
